Story intro ideas - Cymbals Eat Guitars tour w/ Cursive - Nobodaddy
I.
Hey guys, big news! Cymbals Eat Guitars are touring the US this spring with Cursive! CEG are, of course, touring in support of last year’s Lenses Alien LP. Cursive, on the other hand, are touring in support of the year 1998.
II.
Indie-rock stalwarts Cymbals Eat Guitars will finally get a chance to see if their band name looks cool written in cursive this spring when…
III.
Oh boy, this is kinda embarassing. See, Cymbals Eat Guitars (whom you may recall dropped the OK NEW MUSIC’D Lenses Alien on Barsuk last year) had this big tour planned with everyone’s favorite irrelevant post-rockers Cursive this spring. But then, when they weren’t looking one day, their fat-ass cymbals went and ATE all of their guitars!
IV.
Being as they’re the only two bands in the known universe that are still using guitars to sell the purported epic nature inherent to the modern rock song (such as it is currently conceived), it makes — if you’ll begrudge me a quick pun — “sound sense” for Cymbals Eat Guitars and Cursive to ply their trades together in order to increase the the odds, as it were, of achieving the ordinarily desirous goal of credit’s triumph over debit; particularly in the case of Cymbals Eat Guitars, for whom the continued relevancy of their most recent compendium of compositions is of critical importance. Therefore, the two musical groups have agreed to converge for a tour this spring of both the contiguous United States and select Canadian cities. Fans of either group are hereby advised, pragmatically, semantically, or otherwise, to conflate their sense of personal (viz. social, aesthetic, historic, political, etc.) identification with one with that of the other, to the mutual betterment of all three parties touched upon herein.
