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.) - Greg
