Cursive Lake Fever Session

Posted Fri May 15, 2009

Unlike Joe Colvert I’ve been a fan of Cursive for quite some time. In my opinion, The Ugly Organ is deserving of every bit of praise that it has received through the years. Domestica has some serious jams on it as well. The later works from the band haven’t always gripped me quite as much but that’s the problem with putting out a damn enjoyable record from top to bottom, everything after that has a lot to live up to. That being said, the latest from Cursive, Mama, I’m Swollen, has all the elements that a good Cursive record needs; namely dark themes and Tim Kasher’s undeniably passionate voice. Enjoy the Lake Fever Session and if Cursive is a band you’ve managed to keep under your radar for awhile, maybe now is the time to dig in.

Speaking of the Road to Bonnaroo, Heypenny will also be playing said event and have announced a “merger” with ex-Tommy and the Whale fans to garner support for their performance on Monday. It is not entirely clear how a functioning band merges with a broken up bands fans but they assure us it is not only possible, but it’s been done. The band also tells us they’ll be releasing a video / single / coloring book for the song “Copcar” – available for streaming now on their Myspace.

Unearthed Kindercastle

Posted Wed May 13, 2009

There are two interesting things going on with this video:

  1. Kindercastle apparently had a public access television show in which they performed Music for Yachting and dubbed every episode to VHS.
  2. It serves as a friendly reminder that they are playing this Friday with Dent May and The Winter Sounds at Mercy Lounge.
