Everybody’s favorite Saddle Creek band (with apologies to Tokyo Police Club and none to Bright Eyes…sorry Conor, I still haven’t forgiven you for Digital Ashes!) is hitting the road! Touring behind their critically acclaimed sixth album Mama, I’m Swollen, Cursive [MySpace] will be keeping themselves pretty busy this next couple of months.
Fun Fact: If you map all these dates on Google Maps and then draw a line connecting every show, it spells out “Cursive” in cursive!! I’m not even joking, “Cursive” is spelled out in 1,000 mile tall letters! Those crazy cornhuskers!
Tour dates, mp3 and their video after the (might as well) jump. JUMP!

[mp3] Cursive – “From The Hips”
Okay, maybe I was joking about the 1,000 mile tall letters. But then, “gullible” isn’t in the dictionary either.
