Moving south from their native Scotland, lead vocalist/bassist Greg and drummer Dave wound up in Tottenham, North London, where, in addition to generally ‘hanging about’ and enjoying the dynamic cultural mashup of N17, they took jobs in a wedding band, leading to a fortuitous meeting with Jack (guitar) and Zoe (keyboards). Thus, Cocoa Futures were born. Channeling the work ethic of a popular covers group in a more creative direction, the four-piece’s original songs took inspiration from such greats as Talking Heads, LCD Soundsystem and Michael Jackson. Cocoa Futures imbue their self-styled ‘yumcore’ with sharp socio-commentary, which, given the catchy accessibility of their sound and their swift assimilation into the blogosphere, will soon be resounding in the craniums of a very large number of music fans indeed.
