MARK BURGESS – HENNESSEY’S (BOSTON, MA) – JULY 21, 2009

Sometimes it pays to be in the right place at the right time, to witness something singular. Fifteen years ago by happenstance I saw JOHN VALENTIN of the Boston Red Sox turn the tenth unassisted triple play ever in major league baseball. [...]
Yeah, you know me by now. I get in a shoegaze feedback loop and cycle endlessly amid droning guitars. I can’t help it, I really can’t. Which leads me to The Curtain Society. Maybe shoegaze isn’t the right description but The Curtain Society definitely have been influenced by that genre and grew up in the [...]
The Curtain Society hale from Worcester, MA, just 45 minutes west of Boston, yet somehow in the middle of nowhere. The inspiration for Paul Simon’s “My Little Town” has needed its champions over the years, and few have done as much to promote wormtown’s music as producer Roger Lavallee. Apparently all [...]
I am so pleased to be telling you that there is a new record available from The Curtain Society. I fell in love with this band many years ago, [...]
Curtain rises again with new CD

The Curtain Society is easily one of the more familiar names to those who follow music coming out of Worcester, and nothing physically has changed about the band since early 1994 when Duncan Arsenault signed on as drummer alongside bass player Ron Mominee and guitarist [...]

” THE CURTAIN SOCIETY – “EVERY CORNER OF THE ROOM”
(Produced, Engineered, and Mixed by The Curtain Society at Tremolo Lounge [...]
The Curtain Society’s newest disc, Every Corner Of The Room is solid end to end, and is a work that plays best when listened to as such. The songs are woven together so tightly, with sounds so perfectly and subtly varied, that it is nearly impossible to skip a single track as you meander through [...]

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. “Restorationist,” a friend described their sound, and [...]

-Adam Crepeau
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 [...]
