Hey all,

We have announced a new run of headlining dates next month, beginning November 24th at the Bottleneck in Lawrence, KS. The shows will continue into December and wrap up on the 13th at Lash’s 6th Annual Toy Drive at the Waiting Room in the band’s hometown of Omaha, NE. 

The Toy Drive is an annual benefit show organized by Omaha musician Larry Dunn for the children of the Porcupine District of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, one of the most impoverished communities in the U.S. Gift donations will be accepted at the show and 100% of ticket proceeds will go toward buying additional gifts and holiday stockings. Tickets are $14 and go on sale this Saturday, October 17th.

Late last month, we premiered our video for “Let Me Up” – the third single off the new album Mama, I’m Swollen – on Stereogum, who raved “…’Let Me Up’ runs next to the outstanding ‘From The Hips’ in terms of standouts from the band’s sixth album, but it is simply unparalleled in the band’s career for the transcendence of this Evan Glodell-directed video.  In fact, as far as transcendence goes, it’s probably the most transcendent video you’ve seen in a while.” Check out the video here.

OurLive Daily session is currently online as well (watch it here), in addition to a new Daytrotter  session.

Love,

Cursive

(LASH’S 6TH ANNUAL TOY DRIVE)

About Lash’s 6th Annual Toy Drive:

Since 2003, Omaha rockabilly musician Larry Dunn has organized a toy drive for the children of the Porcupine District of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. According to the 2000 census, Pine Ridge’s Lakota Sioux community is one of the most poverty stricken communities in the United States. The children of the reservation are desperately in need of some sunshine and cheer, especially during a time of cold, harsh winds and immense desolation like winters on the reservation can be. The majority of gifts for the children are collected at benefit concerts put on by Omaha-area musicians. Every dime raised goes toward buying additional gifts and stockings. http://www.myspace.com/lashlaruetoydrive

Hey y'all,

Many of you have noticed that Cornbread has not been traveling with us for the last couple of months.   He is a gifted writer and composer, and we are super happy for him as he moves on to pursue his true passion for composing music.  We wish him all the best and love him mucho.  Cornbread put in a lot of time and hard work with us over the last two years, doing double duty playing with our band and working as a commercial composer for the wonderful people at Black Iris. As our tour schedule mounts, there is no longer enough time in the day for him to do both.   We knew we'd eventually have to cross this bridge as tours become longer and more frequent.

Well, here we are, and now we are lucky enough to call on a dear friend, Cully Symington, who is amply able to step in and fill Cornbread's shoes for the foreseeable future.  Anyone that has seen us play in the last month witnessed his serious drum slaying skills.  We love him and are thrilled to play with him, so please give him a high-five when you see us next.

Love,
Cursive
