Cursive Remix Site!
Saddle Creek just launched the Bad Sects Remix Site. This site allows users to register and download separated tracks for the Happy Hollow song “Bad Sects” in either WAV or mp3 format, and then use those tracks along with their own elements to create a remix. Remixes can then be submitted to Saddle Creek for the Bad Sects Remix Contest. Cursive will listen to all remixes and post some of their favorites on the remix site. The winning remix will be used as a b-side on a future Cursive single, with other Cursive related prizes for 5 runners up as well.
Remaining Tour Dates:
10.27 Fri San Diego, CA House of Blues w/ The Thermals and Eastern Youth
