Cursive is everything all of those emo bands in the late 90s and early 2000s wanted to be but never were. This was made abundantly clear throughout their show at the Wonder Ballroom.
Is Elvis Perkins in Dearland the album of the year?
The somewhat awkward yet captivating songstress led her band through a set of ballads and pop songs that could easily have served as the soundtrack of a Broadway musical.
When frontman/creator William Weikart began his effortless, slow electric guitar introduction into “Bleed” I thought, “Finally! This is what I have been waiting for, that ballad intro of 70’s rock-out music that hints something epic is about to unfold.”
I wasn’t surprised at Tom Brosseau’s pleasantness. First of all, he’s from the Midwest. We’re all like that. What’s more, though, are his slow and thoughtful lyrics.
The echoing, haunting guitar and lyrics permeated the crowd, adding just the right amount of spice to the upbeat, puppeteering rythyms.
I too grew up listening, and trying to get into the intertainment field; like Michael Jackson. I remember seeing him in concert, and trying to get in the back to just touch him. I remember trying to get together a group with hopes of being a star like Michael Jackson. It would have included myself, and my two brother.
All I can say is: “To Michael Jackson’s family; there is nothing as traumatic, and emotional as losing a loved one. I send to the family my deepest condolences. I wish you all well. Goodbye Michael!

Insane Clown Posse? Get real!! If I owned a glock and a dew-rag, MAYBE i’d listen to them. Doubtful though.

Why were the only copies of 6 new Kills songs on a laptop within reaching distance of Kate Moss? Doesn’t sound like the safest idea…
