Chris Cohen is a guitarist / bassist / singer / keyboard player that I became familiar with through his work with Deerhoof. He joined them in 2002/2003 which was when they started to become more widely known (following the release of Reveille). But before that Cohen was in a band called The Curtains. It's not surprising that these two bands were friendly since their music shares similarities. The Curtains made three albums before Cohen put the project on hold for Deerhoof... they were all experimental, quirky and generally pretty light-hearted. You can definitely hear this music being a forerunner to the music he'd write with Deerhoof and the music he's written since he left Deerhoof. Here are few tracks their first releases:
The Curtains - Warming Up (2002: Fast Talks)
The Curtains - Telegraph Victories (2003: Flybys)
- The dummer from Deerhoof, Greg Saunier, actually joined The Curtains at this point.
The Curtains - Won't Make It (2004: Vehicles of Travel)
