Dunno the dates but they're at the Hollywood Athletic Club in LA on July 3rd.
Not sure why they're back so soon after last time (April, when I was in
Florida and had to miss 'em) but it's fine with me :-)

What a load of rubbish. They had FSOL, Drum Club and Aphex do remixes for
them 5 years ago. Your friend needs a history lesson.
The first time I heard "Digeridoo" on Really Big Speakers was during the
pre-set wait at a Curve show in 1992 ... Alex (their tour guitarist)
programmed
the between-acts tape and he was well into raving ...
Some of the new album I can do without (the title track especially) but there
are some quite nice beats and noises on many of the tracks ...
(There's a fast Curve Hotline server out there with most everything in MP3,
including the Aphex "Falling Free" remix - not to mention their cover of
"I Feel Love". Listen and judge for yourself.)
