Surprise Me & Alone And Loving It
This weekend I ended up at the ROXY in Hollywood to see the After Midnight Project (previously recommended) and opening up for them was a band called ‘Disco Curtis’ I hadn’t heard them before and to be honest I liked what I heard which brings us here, doesn’t it?
Disco Curtis formed in August 2008 in Dallas, Texas when singer/songwriter Tanner Howe began writing the singles “Breaking Hearts” and “Surpise Me”. Tanner was soon accompanied by long-time friends AJ Novak (drums) and Garrett Perales (guitar); and the trio headed into the studio to get down to business. The chemistry of the band wasn’t hard to find, expecially since the three boys had known each other since the fourth grade. Brendan Barone (bass) soon joined the band to complete the line-up. The band focuses on the notion that “music brings people together” and they stand firmly by that outlook.
In the later part of 2009 the band released their first EP titled ‘Play with Fire, Get Burned’. Each song bringing forth a catchy story of heartbroken love.
The name Disco Curtis actually a homage to a fellow disco legend and drummer named Curtis. Curtis played with various disco bands throughout the 1970s wearing a paper bag over his head but has recently become a mentor and friend to Disco Curtis residing in Dallas himself.
You can catch the band on this summer’s Vans Warped Tour, click read more for dates.
