Soundcheck
Magazine May 2002 The Curtain Society - Volume Tone Tempo (Bedazzled Records) ***1/2 The Curtain Society just found themselves a new fan - so enamored was I of this band that on the third listen I decided to check out the website and was surprised to see so many references to the ‘80s in their other reviews and articles - that was never my impression. I hear maybe some touches of ‘60s pop but it time-traveled over and through the eras, made a stop into the ‘90s, and landed here in the ‘00s with a fresh, modern take on the pop genre. Dreamy, melodic, catchy - The Curtain Society possesses all the right elements. The guitar subtly drives their sound adding enough of an edge to make it appealingly indie rock; meanwhile their fluid harmonies and arrangements shine…I know it brightened this gray April day. The production enhances the atmospheric allure of the band – great job. I enjoyed all four songs but felt particularly drawn to the last track, “Motorcycle Baby” – airy, hypnotic, tribal, ethereal, trippy…I’m hooked! - Debbie Catalano |

Magazine April 2002 Thanks to all who voted for us as BEST ORIGINAL BAND for the second year in a row in the Worcester Magazine Best Of Poll. We just beat out the Beatles by four votes until someone realized that they were not only not a local band, but also that they broke up in 1970. |

Performer Magazine April 2002 The Curtain Society was formed during the period of time we have come to refer as the "late 80's and early 90's." The British noise rock scene had been fully integrated with the college radio scene. The Jesus & Mary Chain had released Psychocandy a few years earlier and the genre known as Shoegazing was gaining steam. read more>> |

Telegram - Feature Story on Tremolo Lounge Studio February 3, 2002 By Scott McLennan Spend a little time with Lavallee, himself a musician in The Curtain Society, and you realize the size of a project has nothing to do with the way he approaches it. "It's all about not necessarily making things perfect, but making them right," Lavallee said. "I want to be on the same page as the band I'm recording and approach any project as a team. The team idea is the only way it works." >>read more |

Volume Tone Tempo I’ve got high hopes for the Worcester, MA-based Curtain Society, a threesome channeling the spirits of ‘80s modern rock. With chiming guitar strums and hummable falsettos decorating their backdrop, they sound like far more than three people at any given time -- always a welcome attribute. “ >>read more |

Noise - 10th Anniversary CD review March 1999 by Joel Simches If there were ever a band in this musical mecca that should be huge in an REM sort of way, it should be this band. Every time I listen to these guys or see them perform live, I get that giddy feeling of seeing that first rock concert, going with some friends to see that favorite rock band and hearing them perform that obscure b-side that only you and your friend s know all the worlds to. >>read more |

anniversary Worcester Phoenix Article by John O'Neill If at all familiar with the sounds of the Worcester-based Curtain Society, you'd be inclined to think they're a dower bunch of fellas. Brooding,introspective, maybe alittle bit too serious -- they're like the misunderstood kid who dresses in blackand stays in his room to write poetry while the rest of the class is at the keg party. >>read more |

The
Big Takeover - Life is Long, Still Review by Jack Rabid Has this band come a long way! Not that their debut, Inertia, wasn't tasty, but, in terms of progress, this is the difference between a college senior and a high school one. This Boston-area trio still betrays a menu of early '80s Brit classics; many of the slow, slower, and slowest tracks are an accomplished update of Siouxsie the Banshees and their aural niece and nephews the Cocteau Twins, covering Faith and Pornography era Cure, only with more of the House of Love's scary, frozen guitar sweep. >>read more |
