About Cupid Car Club

Cupid Car Club, also known as Cupid Car M.P., was a short-lived band consisting of Ian Svenonius on vocals, James Canty on guitar, Steve Gamboa on drums (all of which were previously members of The Nation of Ulysses and later went on to form Make Up), and Kim Thompson (of The Delta 72) on bass and vocals. They released one 7" EP on Kill Rock Stars, called "Join our Club". Cupid Car Club also appeared on the Rock Stars Kill and Some Songs compilations, also under the Kill Rock Stars label. The band's lyrical content, album art, and promotional material tended to stray towards a morbid playfulness, containing many references to topics such as suicide, child custody, and cults.
