Praise for CUB SPORT
“Cub Sport’s fierce honesty and torn-open vulnerability is exactly the beauty we need in a world torn apart…A horde of hopefuls will find solace within Like Nirvana, yet the hopeless will feel heard, and lovers of pop will obsess over its hooks and 80s reinvention.” – Rolling Stone Australia [4.5 stars]
“Nelson has achieved transcendence on ‘LIKE NIRVANA’, building his own church where queer love, begetting self-love, is something sacred and unassailable. Stadium-sized glory might be painfully out of reach right now, for reasons beyond their control – but on ‘LIKE NIRVANA’, Cub Sport make a compelling case for post-pandemic superstardom.” – NME Australia [5 stars]
“Tim Nelson, from Brisbane band Cub Sport, has one of the country’s most captivating voices.” – The Daily Telegraph [4 stars]
“LIKE NIRVANA becomes a landmark moment in Australian pop, contextualising Nelson’s life and art on a universal scale.” – The Guardian
“LIKE NIRVANA celebrates love and vulnerability with a curiosity that’s become totally distinct to this continually astonishing act.” – STACK
“Australia’s best band” – i-D
“LIKE NIRVANA, at its core, is testament to Cub Sport’s continuing ascendency, played out in
conjunction with the journey towards living your truth” – Line Of Best Fit
“Cub Sport have emerged as one of Australia’s most constant, consistent and celebrated groups” – Pilerats

Brisbane’s Cub Sport will be performing their new album LIKE NIRVANA in full, premiering the live performance on YouTube on Sunday, 23 August at 8pm AEST – set a reminder HERE. The band will utilise YouTube’s latest monetisation feature Super Chat, to donate to Black Rainbow – a non-profit social enterprise that is 100% Indigenous owned and operated, which serves as a national advocacy platform and touchpoint for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTQI) peoples.
Of the performance, front-person Tim Nelson says: “Bringing LIKE NIRVANA to life in the live setting feels like magic. When we shot this performance, I could feel that connectedness, that ‘in the zone’ feeling from shows that I’d been missing so much. I’m excited for viewers to experience that feeling too.”
The performance comes off the back of a mammoth week for the self-managed, independent four-piece who debuted at #2 on the ARIA Albums Chart, #1 on the Aria Vinyl Albums Chart, #1 on the Australian Artists Albums Chart, #1 on the AIR 100% Independent Albums Chart and #1 on the Independent Label Albums Chart. The acclaimed album has earned near perfect reviews and praise from The Guardian, i-D, The Daily Telegraph [4 stars], The Herald Sun [4.5 stars], Rolling Stone Australia [4.5 stars], and NME Australia [5 stars], where they’ve also been featured as this month’s cover stars, read more here.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
