The Curse Of Company set to release debut album next week

By now most of you will know all about The Curse Of Company - a new 'super-group' created and moulded into life by Dave Rennick of Dappled Cities Fly.

Well, for those coming to the party late (and drunk and without pants) - the complete chemical breakdown of the band is as follows:

36% Dappled Cities Fly (Dave Rennick)
22% theredsunband (Sarah Kelly)
12% Mr Bungle (Danny Heifetz)
12% Secret Chiefs 3 (Danny Heifetz)
11% Jack Ladder
7% Gerling (Burke Reid)

Following on from their sneaky little FREE giveaway a few months back, the group have now revealed details of their debut album, which will be available (both digitally and in physical form) on July 22 by Dangerbird Records.

The album, titled Leo Magnets Joins A Gang, has been described (by an informative over-the-top press release) as...

...mixing the psychedelic influence of The Velvet Underground with Neil Young's scalding alt-rock and folk, and drawing on classic, coming-of-age storytelling that recalls a dizzying mix of The Odyssey, Blade Runner, 2001 and Apocalypse Now.

I wasn't at all excited about this until I read that it sounds like Blade Runner!!!

I have been waiting for someone to transfer the acting style of Harrison Ford into music since FOREVER! I was kinda hoping for a prog rock record inspired by The Fugitive, but I think Rennick channeling 'future Ford' will still be fairly awesome.

Youth Group and theredsunband combine forces

Sep 4, 2008

Dappled Cities Fly (no we are NOT dropping the 'fly') are now making children's music. The Sydney group will play the music of Australian composer Kyls Burtland on a new Playhouse Disney series called "Alphabreaks" which introduces preschoolers to the letters of the alphabet with the help of musical instruments and original music. The 26-part series, to be televised in Australia and New Zealand, will be directed by Tom Spark who has previously created music videos for the likes of The Cat Empire, Thirsty Merc, The Vines, Vanessa Amorosi and Gyroscope. #

Pitchfork reviews The Curse Of Company album and, in the midst of the nice(ish) write-up, claims that Tim Rogers is a member of not only Curse of Company but also theredsunband. Whut? Did the fact-checking intern have the day off?

Update: Martin Tran (via email) has pointed out to us that the reviewer was more than likely referring to Jack Ladder - as his real name is Tim Rogers. He also states that "they [still] got it wrong, Jack Ladder (Tim Rogers) is not in Sarah Kelly's band. And they're not two different people in the Curse of Company". Thanks for the info, Martin. #
