Disco Curtis is an American pop rock band from Colleyville, Texas. They formed during the 4th grade, [6] but became a four-piece band in 2008. [7]

History

Disco Curtis formed during childhood, where a young Tanner Howe and AJ Novak first bonded over respectively playing piano and drums. As the two friends grew older, various band incarnations came and went, but upon bringing Garrett Perales (and later on Brendan Barone) into the band, the initial shape of Disco Curtis formed. [1] They started to record demo tapes, produced by Geoff Rockwell, who has produced several Forever The Sickest Kids albums. [7]

The band was named after a fellow disco legend and drummer named Curtis. The friend of the band, who also resides in the band's native Texas, used to perform with various disco artists throughout the 1970s, wearing a paper bag over his head. Decades later, he has become a mentor and a friend to Disco Curtis. [1]

"We have known him for years," Howe explains. "When it came down to naming our band, Disco Curtis came to our head because we spent a lot of time with him last summer. He has been a big influence on us." [1]

"No matter what kind of song it is, he always puts a disco beat on it," Novak adds. "As a joke, we started calling him Disco Curtis." [1]

Musical Style and Influence

Disco Curtis's music has various influences, such as Say Anything, Dashboard Confessional, The All-American Rejects, and blink-182. [1]

Tours

Disco Curtis is one of the many confirmed acts for Warped Tour 2010. [8] [9] [10] [11] The band also played at Bamboozle California in 2010 [12] and Mayfest. [6] The band has also played shows with Forever The Sickest Kids, The White Tie Affair, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and Metro Station. [6] They also toured with Eye Alaska and Rookie of the Year in April 2010. [13]
