		The opening credits slowly present themselves on screen as the band, The Good Life, takes the stage.
		He pokes at pedals with his foot while he tunes his guitar.
		Wearing an untucked, wrinkled dress shirt, jeans, and a 5-day-old beard, he doesn't acknowledge the crowd at all, instead smiling at his band mates, saying something that can't be heard off stage while he also fiddles with knobs on his guitar.

	Cursive (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cursive is an indie rock band from Omaha, Nebraska, on Saddle Creek records.
		The band was formed in 1995 by Tim Kasher, Matt Maginn, and Steve Pedersen of Slowdown Virginia, along with drummer Clint Schnase.
		Cursive's sound continued to evolve, most dramatically with the addition of Gretta Cohn on cello who performed on the Burst and Bloom and 8 Teeth to Eat You (split with Eastern Youth) EPs and the full-length LP The Ugly Organ.

	Cursive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cursive is any style of handwriting in which all the letters in a word are connected, making a word one single (complicated) stroke.
		Cursive is considered distinct from the so-called "printing" or "block letter" style of handwriting, in which the letters of a word are unconnected, and from "print-writing", which is a cross between cursive and printing, with some unconnected letters and some connected.
		Eighteenth through mid-twentieth-century cursive styles differ from the even more artistic Copperplate handwriting, which was used for captions of engraved illustrations in the eighteenth century, in that Copperplate writes the ascenders and descenders of minuscule letters with thick, solid lines, while cursive employs loops of thin lines.

		Cursive, on the brink of releasing their second full-length, was disbanded.
		Cursive will be touring extensively in the future, and will be playing a string of dates with At The Drive In throughout November.

	Ground Control Touring: Cursive
		Cursive was disbanded on the brink of releasing their second full-length release.
		Cursive's combination of melody and technical madness continued and met up with a cello on Burst and Bloom (Saddle Creek - 2001), a five song EP that not only reflected the usual intensity and also introduced a new aspect (and member) of the band.
		With references to “marketing schemes” and the “DC sound” of the band, the ever self-aware Cursive used the EP to give insight to where the band is coming from and to set the stage for where they are headed.

	Cursive - "The Difference Between Houses and Homes" - Album Review - The Red Alert
		It’s been a bittersweet month for members of the Cursive Army, who were gifted with this tidy collection of the band’s 7-inch singles, but then given the news that cellist Gretta Cohn was amicably leaving the band – and would not be replaced.
		Obviously, though, the focal point of Cursive is singer/guitarist Tim Kasher, and he, as usual, lays his strengths and weaknesses on the line unabashedly in this compilation.
		The extremely good news, though, is that the track listing gives repeated evidence that the band is becoming better with age, as the 1996 cuts almost all lag behind the ones from 1998 (an exception being the derivative but easily enjoyable emo-punk screed “Dispenser” that leads off the album).

		But challenges were ahead of them, and their tour plans were halted when Tim's genetic lung problem returned, causing his left lung to collapsed, putting him in the hospital and off their tour schedule.
		Tim recovered nicely, and Cursive is back in the saddle again, currently on their 2003 U.S. tour and getting set to release their fourth full-length release, The Ugly Organ.
		Cursive's bassist and vocalist Matt Maginn gives us some insight on the creation of The Ugly Organ, about the support they've received from their local muic community and fan base, and his fear of Christina Aguilera.

		A number of Omaha bands that we looked up to recorded their records at Juniors Motel.
		Cursive demo'd Such Blinding Stars for Starving Eyes there and Slowdown Virginia recorded there a number of times during high school and college.
		The idea was born on September 2nd, 2005; the result of the bands and label watching the surreal events unfolding in New Orleans and the greater Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina.

		Cursive disbanded after co-founding guitarist Steve Pedersen accepted an invitation to law school in North Carolina and Kasher moved to Portland with his wife.
		Gretta Cohn was recruited and the Cursive sound was further characterized, in some respects, by an even greater melancholy and by a new graceful melodic layer.
		Cursive is at one moment rock and roll at its best, at the next moment a chaotic cacophony that turns on a dime with technical prowess, only to quickly retaliate with the tranquillity of Kasher's rhyme and reason.

	Cursive + The Blood Brothers + Eastern Youth - PopMatters Concert Review
		Well, Omaha is still in Nebraska, but the bands coming out of Omaha have traveled worldwide, spreading their new sound as well as the news that the hottest indie music scene of the moment springs from a landlocked, flat, farming state.
		Tonight, though, Cursive -- Saddle Creek's hardcore component -- are on their own, miles and miles from home in the fine city of Buffalo, New York.
		As soon as Cursive wandered onstage to set up their instruments (yes, every band set up and took down their gear; it was refreshing), we all knew whom everyone had come to see.

	Echo Online :: Features :: Band Cursive boasts unique music, personalities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Cellist Gretta Cohn, who made her recorded debut on the band's breakthrough EP "Burst and Bloom," is a vital presence within the band, and her contribution to their music elicits new dimensions of liveliness.
		Cursive and Kasher upped the ante once again in 2003, this time with "The Ugly Organ." While musically their most cohesive and creative work, the album's true appeal rests within its left-of-center subject matter.
		Both songs are taken from Cursive's split release with Japan's Eastern youth entitled "8 teeth to eat you." Last year, Cursive was forced to cancel their tour with Eastern Youth before its scheduled completion, after Kasher suffered a collapsed lung.

	Better Looking Records - Bands
		Saddle Creek released the Burst and Bloom EP in July 2001 and with its success Cursive was firmly cemented as royalty in indie/punk circles.
		Cursive recorded their half of 8 Teeth To Eat You over a few days at Presto Studio with Mike Mogis (recording home to stablemates The Faint, Bright Eyes, and Desaparecidos).
		With these new songs, Cursive continues to push the boundaries of the indie/punk front with their aggressive style, unique sound and Tim Kasher's intensely powerful and driven vocals.

		If bands like the White Stripes and Queens of the Stone Age have got you interested in left-of-center rock and roll, maybe it's time you gave Cursive a try.
		First, Cursive is signed to the hot independent label-of-the-week, Saddle Creek Records, and resides in the burgeoning indie-rock hotbed of Omaha, Nebraska.
		Secondly, in March, the band released what is undoubtably one of the best records of the year, The Ugly Organ, a complicated, self-mocking concept album blending the finer points of hardcore rock with rigid string arrangements and brilliant lyrical motifs.

		Over the next year, Cursive released both a split 10" with Austin's Silver Scooter (also on Crank!), and yet another 7" entitled "Disruption." The latter record began the band's extensive future with Saddle Creek, and in November of 1998, the label released the group's second full-length, The Storms of Early Summer: Semantics of Song.
		Cursive returned in 2001 with the EP Burst and Bloom, which added cellist Gretta Cohn to the band's lineup.
		Cursive was also featured on the first 7" in Makato Recordings' year-long monthly 7" series.

		The Omaha, Neb. band Cursive, whose name most likely rings unfamiliarly unless you are one of the legion of fans, was all set to embark on a West Coast tour this summer.
		At first listen, Cursive has all the marks of an emo band: loud/soft/loud instrumentation, touches of punk and hardcore, and vocals that go from delicate to blisteringly raw in a matter of seconds.
		What sets Cursive apart is that even in their most menacing moments, there's a fragility and humanity to the band's songs that you don't encounter often in the emo genre.

		Eben D'Amico has left the band as well, which in my opinion, is a HUGE blow to Saves The Day, as he was extremely talented on the bass, not to mention one of the few original remaining band members left.
		Cursive are supposedly working on new material, but the announcement that cello player Gretta Cohn has left the band has many wondering if a Cursive break-up isn't far away.
		Cursive has decided not to replace Gretta, which, I'm sorry, has me wondering if they have been listening to the new Criteria album and how much it rocks and how much Cursive really doesn't rock anymore.

		Cursive has just finished recording a new EP (as of yet, there is no title) to be released on Saddle Creek in June.
		The band has added a fifth member, cellist Gretta Cohn, who is, according to Kasher, in the process of uprooting herself from New York City to move to Omaha and play with the band, so she will not be at this Seattle show.
		The band has even been publicly expressing an interest in writing softer, poppier songs, which could be considered something of a sobering departure.

		OMAHA: ON a recent Saturday night, Tim Kasher and his band, Cursive, were performing a triumphant homecoming concert here, celebrating the release of the group's marvelous fourth album, "The Ugly Organ." More than 1,100 people were packed into the Sokol Auditorium, including a number of rock 'n' roll tourists.

		Cursive knows that no matter how awful a relationship, and no matter how "wronged" you've been, you'll do something just as morally reprehensible despite, or because, of what's been done to you.
		Cursive is, hands down, one of the most pivotal rock bands making music today.
		The difference here is that, while remaining perfectly Cursive, they take a step back from their harder songs and give us a beautiful, sweeping album of (of course) loss in mid-western adult life.

	Kevchino : Band Info (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In 1995, after years of playing together in one band form or another, four longtime friends and young unrealized champions of a simmering underground Omaha music scene joined together to form a small band called Cursive.
		"Nostalgia," the only track to feature the current band line-up that includes guitarist Stevens and cellist Gretta Cohn, is a fearsome, frenetic song that serves as a precursor to the darker, headier music that was to come with 2001's Burst and Bloom EP and 2003's The Ugly Organ.
		This is not an album only for Cursive fans: it helps to tell a story, a history, an evolution of a now-seminal band, on a now heralded label, who made intelligent, inventive songwriting look effortless from the beginning, and who has maintained that promise throughout their career.
