On this unseasonably cool late March day, I'm sitting here looking out the window at hazy, overcast skyline thinking to myself this is an appropriate setting for the release of our new single.
Yes, the Wired to Make Waves b/w Something Sinister is out on this 29th of March, 2011.
While you can get the new songs from Amazon, iTunes or any number of digital distributors, you can get it cheaper directly from us.
LISTEN AND PURCHASE HERE.

March 2011
All has been quiet on here recently. This band sucks at blogging apparently. But there has been much plotting, preparing, writing and tracking going on in our realm. We are deep into our second album that is again being tracked by Matthew Barnhart at the Echo Lab, and a Fall 2011 vinyl and digital release is on the calendar over at Latest Flame Records.
But right now it’s March 2011, and some things are happening.
We are playing the 35 Conferette this Thursday, March 10 as part of the Gutterth showcase. We go on at 12:30 AM at the Hydrant.
Next up, we are supporting Destroyer at the Loft on Saturday, March 26. Set time for that show is 8:30 PM. I have been following Destroyer for quite a few years. The elegantly sterile hi-fi of their new album has been sitting quite nicely with me over the past month. Frankly I think it’s fantastic. Ian, on the other hand, is somewhat skeptical of its Avalon-esque quality. Either way, all of us are honored to be on that bill.
At the Destroyer show, we will be unveiling our new Nervous Curtains 7 day candles. These merch items will serve all your protection and domination needs and will also come with a download for our brand new double-sided single.
“Wired to Make Waves b/w Something Sinister” will be released digitally on March 29. You will be able to purchase the single from your favorite digital retailer or directly from us at our Bandcamp site.
Here is a press release the new single:
Nervous Curtains
“Wired to Make Waves/ Something Sinister”
Latest Flame Records
Release date: 3/29/2011
The piano that greatly defined Nervous Curtains 2010 debut LP Out of Sync With Time is absent on their new double-sided single. However, the ominous and dramatic post punk thump they established with the previous platter has been amplified and accelerated with the lead off single “Wired to Make Waves.” Viciously driven organs and pulsating synthesizers propel the rhythm forward under Sean Kirpatrick’s frenetic vocal. Paranoia never sounded so infectious.
Side B’s “Something Sinister” is the appropriate comedown to “Wired’s” manic build-up. The song is a beautiful and well…sinister ode to a threatening presence that lurks just outside the frame, as the band suggests early New Order executing the minimalist crescendo of Bedhead.

Blixaboy remix of Bad Neighbor
Blixaboy is the dubstep project of Mwanza Dover, whom Ian and I spent five years-give or take-making music as The Falcon Project. Here he has taken one of the more dub-influenced tracks from our album and given it his own dubstep treatment.
Bad Neighbor (Blixaboy mix) by Nervous Curtains
Learn more about Blixaboy's music here.
Also, this is an excerpt of a bio I wrote for Blixaboy recently:
Mwanza Dover has been passionately writing, performing and recording music for the better part of the past 20 years. With a resume as diverse as his, it's no wonder that the music he is making now as Blixaboy is pushing the dubstep genre into exciting directions by incorporating elements of shoegaze, dub, minimal techno, krautrock and film composition.
With the Blixaboy project, Dover is able to bring his divergent musical loves under one roof with mesmerizing results. After releasing a string of online EPs and a limited-run album entitled 'Digital Daze,' Dover is ready to introduce the music of Blixaboy to a wider audience. Setting the scene for the bold and distinct world of Blixaboy's future music, the new album 'Kliks & Politiks' presents this unique brand of cyberpunk dub executed with cinematic vision.

So our remix album is finally complete. It is available for a free download either through our bandcamp page or through a zip file you can get at our label's website. Take this link and choose the option you prefer.
I intended to write something on here about the remix project. I wanted to write my thoughts on each contribution and provide some links and information for each artist. Well, that's not going to happen now. I'm tired, and I should use my energy to write songs and book shows for the band at the moment. But fear not, this great blog post describing my intimate feelings about 'The Song's Been Damaged' Remix album will come in the future. Possibly even the near future.
