The Curtain Society Biography by Mario Mesquita Borges

Constructing masterful junctions in between pop and the most alternative options of rock & roll, the Curtain Society formed in Southbridge, MA, in 1988, with Roger Lavallee (guitar, vocals), Ron Mominee (bass, vocals), and Jeff Paul (percussion). Pursuing their own road on the music scene and building a mystified career since they first got together, the band managed to blend the best of established guitar rock with their very own interpretation. Curtain's first releases were a series of EPs and cassettes trough Apostrophe Records, a logo directed by main vocalist Lavalle. It was not until 1993 that Society decided to sign with Washington-based label Bedazzled Records. The following year, Paul left and was substituted at the percussion section by Duncan Arsenault. Inertia, the unit's first full-length record appeared in 1994, enjoying a consistent success. During the following three years, Society appeared on a series of compilations discharged by Bedazzled before Life Is Long, Still, their second album, hit the record stores in 1998. The band then entered a long hiatus, which they interrupted only to perform several live shows across the country.

Queercore/folk punk

Bitch & Animal Biography by MacKenzie Wilson

The funky-folk duo Bitch & Animal came together in the late '90s. Bitch hails from Detroit and Animal was born and raised in Queens, NY and the two met after play rehearsal at a theater school in Chicago. For the next few years, Bitch & Animal honed their signature sexually-charged musical style; What's That Smell marked their debut in 1999. Ani DiFranco signed them to her Righteous Babe label that same year, and touring throughout North America and Europe followed. Eternally Hard marked Bitch & Animal's sophomore effort in 2001; two years later, the band's most cohesive and humorous material to date was captured on Sour Juice and Rhyme.

SLACK Bates Stamper cassette 1992


 
Discogs

 

Slack was essentially a side project for Jenny Toomey and Dan Littleton, who were often busy with other bands and only had a limited amount of Slack time. They recorded together but only played a couple of shows before Slack got put on the back burner. With no fan base at all, a full release was a bit ambitious. Instead, Slack's songs ended up as Tool 2, Bates Stamper. Slack eventually transformed into Liquorice.

ORANGE DELUXE Necking 1995


 

Discogs

 

Orange Deluxe were formed in October 1992 by singer/guitar hero Paul Bassett from the ashes of his former band, renowned Camden power trio Five Thirty . He re-recruited his original drummer Keith McCubbin, who had taken time off to sharpen his technique by touring for a year with the James Taylor Quartet and drafted in his kid brother Rob on bass (who has yet to be seen moving and playing simultaneously). The final ingredient in Orange Deluxe is guitarist extraordinaire Ian Copestake, known to all and sundry as Cope. He has featured in numerous combo’s in and around his native Liverpool and met Paul in his former role as Sound Engineer/ Camera man on the indie TV programme ‘Transmission’. (N.M.E.)
