Cursive (by I. Orenos) at the Troubadour on February 24, 2012.
It was pretty damn amazing. Chris snagged me a set list and we were right in the middle of all the action.
Also when we asked Tim to sign the set list he was standing with Conor Oberst and Johnathan Rice! I wish we had realized it before they walked away.
Night number three tomorrow at the glasshouse!
The Sun and Moon off of Cursive’s new album, I Am Gemini.
Tim’s voice in this makes my heart skip beats. I swear.
I Am Gemini finds Cursive rediscovering both the fractured riffing of their earliest albums and the grand conceptual bent of albums such as The Ugly Organ, bolstered by the big, heavy production talents of Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Isis, The Sword) and the big, heavy thematic inclinations of frontman Tim Kasher, who whipped up a little two-act play for the occasion. It’s your basic tale of good and evil brothers separated at birth and reuniting violently—you know, the dual sign of the Gemini, the fusion of opposites—wait, no spoilers.

Simply amazing.
I can’t wait to see them Thursday, Friday, AND Saturday!!!
