Biography

In interviews, Jeremy Chatelain has been quick to offer up his love of the Americana sound, but it's not the genre you think of when you here his usual band, the indie rocking Jets to Brazil. The singer/songwriter/bassist started writing some songs in a more Americana/alt-country style around 1998, but Jets to Brazil was hardly the right vehicle. Instead, he created Cub Country. At first it wasn't a band but a "project" with a loose set of rules. The songs were to be recorded casually and as soon as possible, to avoid getting bogged down with over-thinking. The first product of this process was Cub Country's debut EP, Castle Coldshins, which was recorded by Chatelain with his friend Utah Slim in 1999 and released by the Ear to Ground label in 2000. Next was the more elaborate High Uinta High, released by Jade Tree in 2002 and featuring members of Helmet, Lunachicks, Rival Schools, and Chatelain's own Jets to Brazil. By 2004, Chatelain decided a regular band was needed to take these songs on the road. North Carolina musicians Matt Sumrow, Jeff Clarke, and Justin Ansley were now regular members of Cub Country and appeared on their 2004 album for Future Farmer, Stay Poor/Stay Happy. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide

Early group history

Cub Country is a solo indie rock project the seeds of which began in 1998 by Jets To Brazil bassist Jeremy Chatelain. The project first started when Chatelain began writing material in an alt-country style that didn't quite suit the sound of Jets To Brazil. At first the idea for Cub Country was to be more along the lines of a solo project for Chatelain than an actual band. In 2000 "Ultra Slim vs. Cub Country" was released through the Ear To Ground label followed by "High Uinta High" which was released through Jade Tree Records. On the latter album Chatelain recruited Cashe Tolman of Rival Schools, Chris Traynor of Helmet, Nick Macri of Euphone and Theo Kogan of Lunachicks.

Later work

Between 2002-2004 Chatelain worked on "Stay Poor.Stay Happy", which was finally released on September 28, 2004 on the Future Farmer label. He was joined on the album by guitarist Jeff Clarke, drummer Justin Ansley and The Comas bassist Matt Sumrow.
