| Description |
CURSE plays rock with a strong pop sensibility and a dark edge. Formed in Spring 2000, with influences ranging from the Ramones, The Clash and Velvet Underground to Siouxsie, Janis Joplin and Tom Waits, CURSE's deep rock sound is easy on the ears, full of passion and good, solid playing.
Many of CURSE's songs are centered around occult, historical and mystical themes such as New Orleans Vodou, The Rites of Eleusis, and the myths of Dionysios, Orpheus and Isis. The music reflects this, incorporating traditional chants and rhythmic patterns that create and enhance the mood of each song. In addition to their debut album, CURSE has also released a CD single of the Beat-Generation classic, "Pull My Daisy" with special guests David Amram and Marc Ribot. |
