Cursive Biography
Cursive is an American indie rock band from Omaha, Nebraska, currently signed to Saddle Creek Records. The band was formed in 1995 by Tim Kasher, Matt Maginn, Steve Pedersen (all formerly of Slowdown Virginia), and drummer Clint Schnase.
In 1997, they released “Such Blinding Stars for Starving Eyes.” After a couple years of touring, the band broke up in 1998. They later released “The Storms of Early Summer: Semantics of Song” in the fall of that year. A year later, in the summer of 1999, the band re-formed. Pedersen had started law school and later formed The White Octave, Ted Stevens (formerly of Lullaby for the Working Class) stepped in and joined the band.
In 2000, their concept album “Domestica,” gained them attention from fans and critics. Cursive added Gretta Cohn (on cello) in 2001 and her strings added complementary sounds to that summer's “Burst and Bloom.”
Saddle Creek Records released “The Ugly Organ” in 2003. Afterwards a tour in support of the album the band went on hiatus, with no specified return date.
The label put out a compilation album of unreleased songs and B-sides, “The Difference Between Houses and Homes,” in August 2005. In mid-2005, Cohn left the band to pursue other musical opportunities, and has since formed the Brooklyn-based band Twin Thousands.
After her exit, the band remained four-piece.
After Cursive's hiatus, Saddle Creek announced that Kasher had temporarily stopped his work on his side project, The Good Life, to start recording an album with Cursive. The album, “Happy Hollow,” was released in August 2006. Its first single “Dorothy at Forty,” was released in July 2006. “Happy Hollow” featured a five-piece horn section, adding new texture and redefining the band’s sound.
Cursive's “Mama, I'm Swollen” was released in March 2009 on Saddle Creek Records. Three days later, the band made their network television debut on Late Show with David Letterman, playing “From The Hips.”
The follow-up to “Mama, I'm Swollen” titled, “I Am Gemini” was released in February 2012. Their seventh studio album was produced by A.J. Mogis.

Live Review: Cursive (Night 2), Criteria, Bazan; Pro-Magnum, Acid Test tonight; Omahype holiday rock shop Saturday…
The line to get into The Waiting Room last night stretched down the sidewalk at 9 p.m. I could hear David Bazan doing his usual sad-dog electric solo set while I waited. The lady behind me said she was worried the show would sell out, and phoned a friend further up in line to buy her ticket. She was right to be concerned. The place was packed, especially compared to last week’s show.
