Cursive will support Alkaline Trio on their upcoming spring tour dates, which will take the band across the country and back beginning February 16th at the Glass House in Pomona, CA, and wrapping up April 2nd at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, CA.
Since the release of their sixth studio album Mama, I’m Swollen on Saddle Creek Records last March, Cursive has crisscrossed the country multiple times as a headliner. The band – long known for their indefatigable touring schedule as well as their incendiary, cathartic live show – completed their most recent tour in mid-December. Cursive’s shows throughout 2009 drew acclaim, with Indianapolis, IN’s Nuvo Weekly remarking, “Opening with ‘Bloody Murderer’ from their breakthrough album The Ugly Organ, the five-piece slashed through a near-perfect set of songs from their last nine years of albums” and Melophobe declaring, “Cursive has proved that they are not only solid musicians, but incredible performers with a stamina that can be matched by few.”
Cursive also released videos for three songs off of Mama, I’m Swollen over the past ten months: “From The Hips” (here); “I Couldn’t Love You” (here); and “Let Me Up” (here). The band also made their much-deserved network television debut on the Late Show with David Letterman on March 13, 2009 (watch it here).
