The Vanilla Curve

When The Vanilla Curve walked on stage for their first show, a southeastern Michigan battle of the bands, they had little experience and few expectations. When the judges gave them a score of 199/200, all of that changed. Thereafter they went on to win another battle of the bands, this time out of 60 bands at Clutch Cargos (the biggest club in pontiac), and began work on their first full album. By the release date of the LP "Create" they had picked up a nationwide distribution deal with PC Treasures, Inc.

With their first album being sold in Target stores nationwide, the band set out to create a strong local following, still with no label or booking support. One thousand sold copies later, rather then opting for a reprint, The Vanilla Curve decided it was time to record some new material. Working with grammy-winning producer Ronnie Thomas and engineer Ricky Cobble, the band took up residence at Ocean Way studios in Nashville, TN. Over the rest of 2006 and early 2007 they worked on an album which showed epic leaps in songwriting ability and musicianship. These recordings would go on to become their current album, "Deteriorating the Frescoes," an intense concept album filled with influences widely spread across the spectrum of both conventional and experimental music. "Deteriorating the Frescoes" has proven to be a truly unique artistic accomplishment, but what the band takes even more pride in is that their live show has developed as well, equal in energy, technique and delivery to their studio recordings. Whether the band's style of music is loved or hated by its audience, The Vanilla Curve will demand and deserve that audience's attention.
