Tim and I went to see Cursive at the Roseland theater last night. I had seen Cursive once before when they opened for Mogwai. At that show, the singer Tim Kasher played guitar and keyboard so he was not moving around alot. I had also seen his other band The Good Life once, but they are more mellow. Last night, the band consisted of the regular two guitars, bass and drums but they were backed by three horn players and a cello player. It was a great show. The sound was full with so many instruments, and the band was obviously having a great time. Tim Kasher was running around on stage (he even fell over once) and generally acting crazy. His voice is so distinct and powerful. They surprised me by playing a good mix of old and new songs, instead of just playing the new songs from the album they are promoting. If you haven't heard of Cursive, I urge you to go pick up one of their albums, especially The Ugly Organ or Happy Hollow, or if they haven't played in your city yet, GO SEE THEM!
Here's the set list from last night's show:
Dorothy at Forty
Art is Hard
The Great Decay
Dorothy Dreams of Tornadoes

The Radiator Hums
Tempest

how about you shut the hell up and start listening to the bands i tell you to listen to ... and stop listening to teddybears ... they make me want to blow my head off with a shotgun ... but that's just my opinion ... don't be mad
Teddybears download was for Silke
okay ... good ... i'm glad it wasn't for me
you can like them if you want ... i just won't agree with you ... but i have a strong hatred for raggae and you don't
Teddybears aren't Raggae, Seeed is, and they are for Silke to. Nothing like German raggae, or Hewbrew raggae.
they have raggae singers on their songs ... and their songs are on every movie trailer now ... i can't escape them
It's because their song was the, "offical song of the world cup".
who is german?
teddybears are from stockholm
although, Die Phantastichen 4 is pretty cool or at least Tomas D is cool ... they're German
Seeed is German
echt Scheisse!
