Speaker 1: Well, speaking of the Midnight Creatives Collective and Terminus and events,
big show coming up there October nineteenth, that we've been
talking about a lot today because Able Blood. Our first
hour guests are on that show, and of course our
second hour we had Dan from the band Horror. And
now we've entered our third hour, New Marrow Trace here
on Matt Connorton unleashed, and we've got Dennis and Sean
from the band The Gray Curtain.
Speaker 2: Welcome guys, Hey, good, good, Oh?
Speaker 1: Why can't I hear you? I can't hear you, Sean.
I don't know why.
Speaker 2: Uh oh, keep talking like nicol difficulties that might meet
too that Mike was working earlier. Keep talking shut live radio.
Speaker 1: No, it's not it's probably probably me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't find you. Oh wait, I think I might
have figured it out. Never mind, Jenny, I think.
Speaker 2: Found you.
Speaker 1: All right? Very good?
Speaker 2: I lost always the bass player.
Speaker 1: I think I lost you again? Really well?
Speaker 3: Wait, is there a gremblin in the microphone?
Speaker 2: There might be?
Speaker 1: This is weird.
Speaker 2: I just want to watch a movie A found I
found you again though the first one.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I'm not going to touch anything else, and
hopefully we don't lose you again. All Right, it's funny.
I said that mic never fails us, and then I
have a problem with it. That's funny anyway, Well live radio.
Speaker 2: Heinks, I know.
Speaker 1: Apparently I did. Jenny warns me about that too. She's like,
don't she says, don't jinx it and then get your fault.
It is it is, that's fine. The rest of the
day told you not to go there. Well, guys, welcome,
We're I'm looking forward to talking to you, and we're
going to play some of your tracks too. But uh yeah,
tell us about your band, The Gray Curtain.
Speaker 2: Oh well, uh started. I started the band in twenty fourteen.
Basically I put out a couple of songs just me
and an acoustic guitar, and there was a battle of
the band's online Battle of the Bands over Foxwoods and
I ended up placing fourth out of like like one
hundred and eighty nine bands. Yeah, which was just mind boggling.
Speaker 1: So it was you just submitted, You just how to
submit your music.
Speaker 2: That's that's all I did. Okay. So they called me
up and said, yeah, we're going to do a live
Battle of the bands over Foxwoods, you know, in a
couple of weeks. You know, we'll see you you and
your band there. I hung up the phone all excited,
and then I went, wait, I need a band. Oh
my god, yeah, so it. You know, it took a
few days to get a few guys in on the project. Unfortunately,
everyone that was part of the band at that point
of all coming gone, you know, done, you know, gone
on to do their own things. Sean has been a
close friend of the band for many years doing his
own band in Man, but recently, over the last two
years or so, I've needed new bandmates and Sean was
the first person I called. And we're actually currently looking
for a keyboard player, synth player, but you know, we're
trying out drummers currently because, as you mentioned, the Terminus
show on the nineteenth, we're going to be saying goodbye
to the drummer we currently have, Joe Soferano, mainly because
he's just in way too many projects. He's in the Megans,
who are going to be playing the show with us,
He's in Guello. I think he's I can't remember if
he's full time or part time with Rags to Stitches,
but you know, he's in a lot of other projects.
And with the amount of shows that we're planning on doing,
it was just it was better if if he out.
Speaker 1: It's funny because that comes up. This subject specifically comes
up all the time on the show. Every drummer is
in like ten different bands.
Speaker 2: They gotta be Yeah, yeah, they're a they're a rare
resource in this area right now.
Speaker 1: Well, my my theory is, and longtime listeners have heard
me say this a thousand times, but you know, when
you're growing up and you first become interested in playing
a musical instrument, you go to have the conversation with
your parents about what you're going to play.
Speaker 2: If it's drum if it's the.
Speaker 1: Drums or the tuba, they're going to try to talk
you out of it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1: So that's my theory because yeah, every drummer is in
you know, ten different bands.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my dad was a drummer, so it's you know,
he knows what it's like to stretch himself thin in
like multiple projects.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But but yeah, basically the band was started by me
just I started writing stories and basing my music around these.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Henry Miller said the best way to get over a
woman is to turn her into literature. So I did
that with all my hurts, habits, hang ups, all my bullies,
all my traumas, PTSD, my depression, my nightmares, my addictions,
and made all of these feelings, all of these past
characters and whatnot in my life into citizens of this
cursed town. Okay, I can't leave. And all of our
music is based around the people and events that happen
in this town.
Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah. Something we talk about a lot on the show.
It comes up quite a bit. In fact, it came
up with Dan from the band Horror in the last hour.
Is talking about, you know, taking problems and doing something
creative with them, whether it be you know, and I
get you know, I'm someone who struggles with depression, so
I can certainly relate to that aspect of it. But
taking you know, whether it's that, whether it's some sort
of trauma, whatever it is, you know, taking these things
that happened to us, but then doing something creative with them,
actually making something out of them that other people can
then relate to and enjoy. You know, I think that's
the best therapy that there is.
Speaker 2: Really, That's exactly what I say, you know, whenever I
get off stage, you know, people will approach me and
tell me how, you know my songs are helping them
in some way through their depression. And we played a
show in Maine recently and a young woman. Won't go
into details on her name or anything, but a young
woman approached me and told me how she had had
been thinking about ending her life and she felt very sorry.
She felt very attached to a couple of our songs
and made her feel better. Really, that is basically the
key element of what I try to do. I try
to help people who feel like I feel, think how
I think, feel better and try to make it through
the day just a little easier. Yes, yeah, so I
but I say it all the time. It's like this
is the best form of therapy there is absolutely was that?
Was that your goal from the beginning? Or it kind
of become that the gray curtain? Yes, I've been in
fourteen bands and a wow? Yeah, well wait, do you
also play drums? Is that what I play? I play percussions,
but not as well as past members of this band.
I played bass, but not as well as past members
of this band and present members of this band. But
but no. I come from a long line of musicians,
all of my My uncle Smokey used to play in
his own band, Smoking in the Rangers, in the Irish
Club in Putnam. It's no longer there, but he got
me on stage at five years old singing Frosty the
Snowman at a Christmas event and I got hooked. Since
you know, uh chamber choir, church choir, you know, school chorus,
state competitions, voice lessons. Uh, I was just give me
all of it. And uh, you know, growing up in
high school, you know, as I mentioned, I was, I
was a victim of a lot of bullying and whatnot.
I was told that my singing wasn't good enough to
be in a in a band. Really, so I started
playing bass. My uncle Bob taught me, uh some basics,
and once I got those down, he was like, you're
ready to go. Just do your thing, you know, because
he was playing country and I'm trying to do like
Les Claypool stuff, you know, and so he was just like,
you're good, You're good, you know, just just keep doing
what you're doing. So uh yeah, I basically, Uh, who.
Speaker 1: Who told you weren't good enough to sing?
Speaker 2: Was it a teacher or no? No, none of my teachers.
So shout out to Michael Adam Kerns he he he
kept pushing me, Oh I would you know, I was
like tormented so much in school. I would take my
lunch into the chorus room and just sit by myself. Really.
Oh yeah, yeah, believe me.
Speaker 4: I could.
Speaker 2: I could sit here for hours telling you about this stuff.
But uh no, it was you know, my peers, you
know kids that you know that I would it.
Speaker 1: Was part of it. Sounds like it was part of
the bullying.
Speaker 2: It really, it really was. But from that I got
to say, if it wasn't for those experiences, I don't
think I'm sitting here now talking to you about this
because a lot of the characters are based on things
like that, being told that I wasn't good enough, being
told that my sound wasn't metal. It's like, okay, you know,
even now, we're nominated for a New England Music Award
for Best hard Rock and Metal and I'm still getting
from my peers that we're not a metal band, we
shouldn't be, and it's like, you know what, You're right,
We're not a metal band, you know. We we like
to do a little bit of metal. We like to
do a little bit of rock. We like to do
a little bit of jazz, We like to do a
little bit of swing. You know. It basically depends on
the character in the story that that song pertains. Ye,
But yeah, it uh, it's it's really difficult because you
want people to be connected and you want people to
to help each other, especially in this scene, you know,
between all the states in New England. But it's it's
really tough sometimes because it doesn't feel like that's the
case and in a lot of in a lot of instances.
Speaker 1: But well, you're doing something unique too. I mean, you know,
I can't think of anyone who sounds quite like you guys,
which is awesome, which I love. And I'm curious, Sean,
is this the most unique project you've ever been a
part of? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Probably, I would have to say.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 6: You know, I've been, like, like you mentioned before, I
was in a band Inman before that was kind of
more of a you know, a straight forward, modernized grunge band,
where I feel like the stuff we're playing in this
is definitely a little more, uh, a little more difficult to,
like you said, find someone who sounds quite like it. Yeah, uh,
And I feel like there's a lot of different influences
that go into the sound. So there's it's really easy
to have a lot of fun with it, you know.
Speaker 2: It's uh.
Speaker 6: Definitely definitely doesn't get redundant any at any point.
Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, absolutely, Well we should play something now,
you uh what should because you had you had suggested
uh in your email a few songs. Is there one
that you're pushing as a single?
Speaker 2: Well? Uh, the first album, Shadow of a Man, A
lot of people like the opening. Yeah, the second album,
we didn't get a chance to, uh, to really play
all that much before the mass outing of the the
the members I had, right.
Speaker 6: So we could we could do the title track from
that album.
Speaker 2: Then oh the Floors, yeah, the florist.
Speaker 1: That was that was one of the ones he had suggested. Yeah,
I think, oh no, that wasn't one of the Oh no,
that was. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm you know what in
my mind, I'm I'm conflating the uh, the uh album
with the song.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so we'll let's go with that. Yeah, I
really like this one a lot, and then we'll we'll
talk about it a little bit after. But so, yeah,
let's give this a spin. This is really interesting. Check
this out the Gray Curtain, and the song is called
the Florist.
Speaker 7: M I s to.
Speaker 8: Bring me to the time I braided myself. What as
I got into trust?
Speaker 7: Tell you.

Speaker 9: You're about one buskins, you're about one pros.
Speaker 1: That is the Florist, the Gray Curtain. Here with us
in studio. We've got a couple of the guys from
the band here with us. And well that's a great
song if you are just joining us. Of course, this
is Matt connorton Unleashed and we are live from the
studios of WMNH ninety five point three FM. And today
our guests have been some of the people who are
going to be performing at a great event coming up
at Terminus in Nashua on October nineteenth. And we talked
to Abel Blood earlier and Dan from Horror and now
we've got the Gray Curtain here, and what can you
tell us about that song?
Speaker 2: Well, the song and the album are based around a
elderly floorist from the town of Apathy. All of the
Gray Curtain albums are going to be around based around
citizens of the town of Apathy. Okay, the character in
question is a man named Serge Colin. He loses his
wife to cancer and he develops he He he finds
this plant in the basement of his now dilapidated flower shop.
He sells everything to try to get his wife some
treatment and she ends up passing away anyway, and he
goes down to the basement of his flower shop and
finds this This plant actually exists in real life. It's
it's called a double's trumpet, and he gets the the
oil of the of the plant ingested into his body.
And when when that happens again, I r L. In
real life, you hallucinate, you see, like nightmares in real life,
and it hurt it. It hurts your your ability to breathe,
it hurts your ability to function.
Speaker 1: I think I've actually heard of this.
Speaker 2: And he ends up hearing the voice of his dead
wife telling him that if he plants the women of
the town into the ground like seeds, she will blossom
like a flower from the earth and they will be
together again. Okay, And the entire album is about his
quest to get his wife back by doing this. It's uh,
it's one for the kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now this and is this also being written as
a as a full story.
Speaker 2: Yes it is. Yeah, we are currently I'm currently working
on a series of graphic novels.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: It's taking me forever to do because I at first,
I was doing it on paper, just you know, pencil
drawings and whatnot, and I was able to get like
four comics done. Now I'm doing everything again on tablet
and it you know, I mean, I'm investing a lot
in getting you know, the color schemes and things like that.
And then on top of that, I'm working with my
part partner April on getting a script for the entire
twenty chapter storyline of the Town of Apathy finished and
possibly if we can get it picked up to make
it an actual show.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're about April. What will be two hundred and
eight pages.
Speaker 1: In okay, yeah, two hundred and eight of I mean,
how much do you do you think it'll end up being?
We any idea?
Speaker 2: Probably three hundred and fifteen pages, I think is what
we're going to stop at, because then you've got about
nine episodes.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you figure you're about two thirds of the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah,
Well that's that's a lot. No, that's great though, That's
that's a great h that's a great undertaking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the you know, the Florist storyline is part
of that, that script. And I've already got excuse me,
about twenty thirty pages or so of the of the
graphic novel for the Floor Stand Shadow of a Man,
the first album completed.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I was curious to ask you about that too,
because we're gonna play I like this track, the opening
that we'll play in a couple of minutes, but I'm
curious about Shadow of a Man and does this also
have a like the Florist does this also kind of
have its own story?
Speaker 2: Oh, they all do. Shadow of a Man is more autobiographical. However,
in twenty twelve, I went through a downward spiral where
I attempted suicide. I was caught, but I based Shadow
of a Man on what happened to me during that time.
I lost the love of my life. She is currently
not speaking to me because of the man that I
was back then, rightfully so.
Speaker 3: And I.
Speaker 2: Based the character Nathan Knoth on me. His name originally
was going to be Nough Guile, but I thought that
was a little on the nose because that's my last
name backwards.
Speaker 1: Oh no kidding, but.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the the album takes place in the last
day and a half of Nathan's life.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's what should we know about this song.
I'm gonna play the opening, and I think we should
know about this specifically.
Speaker 2: The opening takes place. Well, I wrote the opening before
I even had like an idea of like the storyline
or anything like that. It was basically my my acceptance
that I have a rare form of cancer, and I
know that my timeline is not as long as a
lot of other people. So I wrote the opening as
a way to kind of come to terms with seeing
the light and knowing that as much as I fight,
one day, this is going to end. So I have
to enjoy what I have while I have it.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: And the opening, as far as the storyline, takes place
right around the end of the story where Nathan is
accepting death.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so let's give this a listen. This
is a song is called the Opening. This is from
the album Shadow of a Man by the Gray Curtain.
Speaker 14: Shadow. I'm not a little guy.
Speaker 7: And my rage.
Speaker 14: This so that an ave I won the die of
the old Acrost.
Speaker 4: The end of my spy like a wing this spy, oh.
Speaker 9: Accord, the end of my s.
Speaker 11: S I cried of the mountains on Dauntist. We're a
green eye on board.
Speaker 13: Fragile dye, Crakys, one of fine line Wendy women.
Speaker 12: It's all one of the God signs. The reason lits.
Speaker 7: On the door.
Speaker 12: I say bye, be a Wendyspine. Oh I my mustn.
Speaker 14: ' my say.
Speaker 12: My say.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: That is the opening from the album Shadow of a
Man by the Gray Curtain. And we have Dennis and
Sean from the Gray curtain here with us alive in
studio this morning, and uh wow, that's that's pretty epic
as we're listening to that, Dennis, I'm curious to know
more about your your singing and where do you take
influences from in terms of your vocal approach.
Speaker 2: Well, growing up, I I was kind of bombarded with
old school country, No Show, Jones, Patsy Kline, Roy Orbison.
So thus a lot of my lyrical content is sad
by nature as theirs were. But then as I got older,
I started finding my own influences, uh in soul music
and jazz and blues. And then as I became a teenager,
I started listening to at all more often. But really
I started getting into the kind of stuff that I'm
doing currently because of things like Rocky Horror Picture Show.
You know, the first time I the first time I
saw Meatloaf, I was enamored. I wanted to know everything
there was to know about this guy from Bad Out
of Hell one, two, even three. You know a lot
of people don't talk about three, but that's a good album.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 2: I enjoy musicians who wear their heart on their sleeve
when they're on stage, or you know, just when they're
writing a song, they're trying to not so much make
you dance or make you feel happy or anything. They're
trying to invoke an emotion. Former band member of the
Great Curtain actually got me into Stephen Wilson from Porcupine Tree, which, yeah,
which is one of Sean's favorite bands.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: First time I saw Stephen Wilson perform, he did the
song called Routine, and I could actually feel my heart
get just ripped out of my chest.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And a lot of people don't go to a show,
you know, wanting that, but I do. I want to.
I want to feel an experience when when I go
to a show.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, and and that's where my where I take a
lot of my influence from, uh, you know, seeing Rent
on Broadway, you know, uh, and then the very next
day going to see you know, Metallica play at Woodstock
ninety nine. You know. I It's basically like those two
things are what makes uh makes the Great Curtain. Yeah,
you know that heavy edge with the emotional baggage.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep? Did your approach change it all between these
two albums? I mean, obviously they have different themes, but.
Speaker 2: Well, my old band members, did we did all the recording,
did all the mixing. Uh So, you know, all of
the what's the word I'm looking for? All all of
the kudos goes to them for the way that these
albums sound as far as production, but as far as approach, yeah,
we the first album, we basically went into it like
we we need to get this sound out there. A
lot of people are asking for some sort of hard copy,
and by the time we got to the second album,
nobody listens to a hard copy anymore, you know. So
we only got maybe like fifty copies of the second
album and we were like throwing them around at people.
A lot of people just listen to uh to our
streaming sure today. But the approach was basically, just like
with the characters. The first album was very melodramatic, very dark,
very Ecker Allen Poe. The second is very horror movie.
It's very it's very John Carpenter, it's very you know,
Stephen King. And that's what we try to do, you know,
as far as like what I try to do when
I'm developing a story. The one that we're currently working
on is about two killers, and they both have two
lists that they have to complete. The main protagonist antagonist
excuse me, the main antagonist of the story basically allows
one of them to go free of this town that
they can't that no one in the town can escape,
and the first killer that can complete their list of
ten is allowed to leave the town no strings attached.
So we're able, you know, we're able to take from
that brief description of the storyline and go, okay, well,
what kind of album is this going to be? You know,
what kind of songs are we going to put together
for this? And uh and this is going to be
more of like action type of I don't want to say,
gory type of thing, but a lot more intense album
than the other two.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, will you be recording? Well, where did you
record the newest one?
Speaker 2: In my former drummer's house. Okay, he had a recording
studio in the basement of his house and we and
we mixed in the sun room like a sun porch.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, so you see you did the entire album there, yep, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: The whole thing was was homemade.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't have to go to a studio obviously
with this next batch of songs not going to be
the case, but uh, but you know, and and the
worst part too, is like I still love those guys,
you know, I I've got I got nothing, nothing but
love for everybody. Every single person that has helped me
along through this ride, present and past, has h you know,
has made this band better. So I've you know, I like,
I will never say ill will word ill word towards
any member that you know. Was we were just talking
during the uh during the opening of past members, people
that I wish we're still in this band, people that
I understand why they left, but uh, as far as
you know where we're gonna go, as far as uh
like recording in the future, you know who knows? You
know who knows we I was obviously gonna have to
go to a studio.
Speaker 1: Well you've got plenty of options. That's a good new Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I keep hearing people tell me, you know, oh,
you should go here, you should go here, you should
go here. But you know, right right now, we're still
in Like I think we've only got like seven songs,
and I want this thing to be you know, it's
kind of a moot thing to say nowadays, with physical
copies being you know, the thing of the past. I guess,
which makes me sad.
Speaker 1: What a lot of the a lot of our guests
are still putting out, you know, physical copies of CDs.
But but I think my theory though, is I think
most most of those never actually get played. It's just
if you're really a fan of somebody, it's nice, you know.
Same thing with vinyl, Yeah, I mean vinyl. I think
now vinyl is out selling CDs. Yeah, but if you buy,
if you buy somebody's vinyl, a brand new vinyl in
the package, it probably you know, most people I'm sure
never even open it. They just it's because they're such
a big fan of that artist. It's cool to have
the vinyl. Yeah, absolutely, ye kind of collected.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you you explained it a lot better than
I did, where it's like, yeah, people are still I
still have CDs, I still have tapes.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: One of our main crew guys, his name is Fully
shout out to Fully. He his wall is nothing but
cassette tapes. You know, he's got vinyl for days. Yeah,
and uh, you know it's just like what you said.
You know, if you appreciate it, then you know you
will you will buy it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But but what we're trying to well, what I'm hoping
to pitch and what the guys hopefully will go along with.
Is a double album really one one album's worth of
material for each killer.
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So I'm hoping, hoping that we can get
that get that out there within the next couple of years.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh that's a that's a great concept. I can
relate to what you were saying about meat Loaf, by
the way, because I was I was such a big
fan growing up. I actually have his non or I did.
I don't know where they are now. I don't really
keep any speaking of physical copies, I really don't keep
physical copies of anything anymore. But but I always bought
his non Bat out of Hell albums too, you know,
like Whine before I Stop and uh, what's the uh?
I can't even remember the titles now, it's been so long,
But yeah, I actually that's a friend of mine joked
with me once because I had, you know, I had
all these obscure albums of Meatloaf that nobody else cared
about because they didn't have Bad out of Hell in
the title. And yeah, a friend of mine said, you know,
he probably knows you like like like, he probably knows
who you are because you're the one guy who actually
bought these other CDs. Like if you ever met him,
he'd be like, hey, I know you. I heard about you.
They told me you were real, but I didn't think
you were. Eleanor in the chat room says CDs are
totally in. Uh we still use super dupes in uh
in Salem, U Salem, New Hampshire. Shout out to Bruce Bannett.
Oh there you go. So yeah, so there's an option
for you if you decide to Uh. Yes, Spelfie was
saying too, she's still buy CDs.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And I knew like the way that I
worded it, we were probably going to get people going, Hey,
wait a second, I'm not saying that CDs aren't awesome. Yeah, yeah,
I'm just saying that, you know, it just seems like
people don't really buy them anymore. Like when we go
to play shows, you know a lot of people will ask, oh,
are you guys on Spotify or you guys on Apple?
