For those with a nose for the news...

I was grabbing my morning coffee at Easy Street Records, whence I came upon a copy of the new Stranger. As is my routine, I started by perusing the music section. Lo and behold, I stumbled upon page 46. Guess who is the Stranger's band of the week? Hmm? In a small box containing a photo (by one very talented photographer named Melissa, I might add,) the Stranger had this to say:

"Given that the whole '70s-pop/vaudevillian/Harry Nilsson thing is big right now (right?), it's a good time to get turned on to Curtains For You, a local pop band claiming to find inspiration in Harry Nilsson, Rufus Wainwright, and the Beach Boys. It's a pretty grown-up version of some of the stuff that's big with the kids right now (e.g., Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground), but it's got a catchy, wistful attitude with piano-bar playfulness and croons about being fucked up. They play the part of vintage poppers, that's for sure. I bet they even wear suits and ties to practice."

Simply marvy my friends, simply marvy!
