...Though it was sad that Cohen left Deerhoof... at least he left it to do great things! In 2006 he wentback to his old project, The Curtains. This time they switched their style from mostly experimental and a little poppy to mostly poppy and a little experimental.... I say it was a good idea! Cohen did pretty much everything on this album but he did have some vocal assistance from a certain Nedelle Torrisi... you can't really tell how amazing her voice is on this record... she's usually harmonizing or in unison with Cohen... it's foreshadowing (wait for it!).
The Curtains - Wysteria (2006: Calamity)
- I love that you can hear snare rattle in the beginning of this song... shows that they recorded it live.
The Curtains - Brunswick Stew (2006: Calamity)
- Knock, knock... awesome 'Baby You're a Rich Man' muted bass sound.
The Curtains - Fell On a Rock & Broke It (2006: Calamity)
- Beautiful melodies in this one.
(See Chris Cohen - part III)
For 20 P&P Points: Where did I first see the Curtains?

I'm going to guess you saw them at The Cake Shop. But that's just a wiiiiild guess.
Nope... but good guess... that's the second place I saw them.
I was initially going to say the cake shop too! but then i remember (yahoo mail search helped) that we saw them when we were going to see the Inlets at Union Hall. Bam!
Correctamundo! You're on the board! (that really was an awesome show!)
