Cursive

Screenplay in hand, Cursive frontman Tim Kasher moved to L.A. from Omaha for the same reason many others do: the movie industry. Unlike most, he kept his expectations realistic, which is easy when you lead some of the best indie-rock acts in the business. Although Kasher takes breaks to dabble in The Good Life, Cursive remains his primary concern. To wit, the band has recently released its seventh album, Mama, I’m Swollen, another addition to a long line of heady, excellent post-punk records that shows Kasher has plenty to keep himself busy if the whole movie thing doesn’t pan out.
