Cursive bassist Matt Maginn could feel fond tinges from years past upon playing their decade-old "Domestica" album for a New Year's Eve show in Chicago.

"It wasn't too far off, just because it was a real tight, packed room, and the sound was a little difficult, and people were distracting because they were falling all over the place and jumping," said Maginn. "It was kinda fun cause it reminds me of basement shows and stuff like that where things are just a little more chaotic."

All that was missing was the Omaha friend and fan base. So bringing that same show to their hometown wasn't a hard decision to make. And with a sold out crowd, their Omaha show may be apt to meet the chaos of their Chicago show.

Cursive will be playing all their "Domestica" tracks, beginning to end, at the Waiting Room in Omaha tonight. They'll also be playing old favorites from other albums, as well as some new songs.

Tennis debut album due out in 2011

mp3: "Marathon"

Denver husband/wife duo Tennis recently announced the expected release of their debut LP with Fat Possum Records in 2011. 

The band released a 7-inch with Underwater Peoples that featured their tracks "Baltimore," "Cape Dory" and "Marathon."


According to band member Patrick Riley, the new album will feature those three tracks, re-recorded, and more new tracks as apart of a concept album with work inspired from an 8-month sailing trip the two took along the Atlantic coast.


My interview with Patrick will be in the upcoming week's Daily Nebraskan.


Tennis is opening with Japandroids for The Walkmen on Sat. 16 at the Waiting Room in Omaha. Check 'em out.
