I bring this up only because somehow I missed it when it was first announced:

We all know Cursive is playing three dates at The Waiting Room in December. But who’s playing with Cursive on those dates?

Dec. 5 it’s Cursive, Lightning Bug and InDreama,

Dec. 12 it’s Cursive with the return of Criteria and the soul-crushing music of David Bazan (Pedro the Lion),

and Dec. 19 it’s Cursive with Ted Stevens Unknown Project and the always vicious Ladyfinger.

A pass to get into all three shows is $30. Cheap!

Cursive will be recording all three nights for a possible live album, depending on what they get, so expect to hear different sets from night to night.

What else…

Word on the street is that Bloodcow has a new website that just went live: http://www.bloodcow.com

And finally, the Men of Porn tour I mentioned a few weeks ago

gets under way tonight in Cardiff.  The line-up is Tim Moss (who remembers Ritual Device?), Bill Gould (Faith No More) and Balazs Pandi (Merzbow). Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth fame joins them for their All Tomorrow’s Parties gig and a London show.

Book a flight over the pond and check out a show. Details here.
