Self-described as "The Beatles meets Vaudeville meets the Muppet Show," Curtains For You are comprised of Matthew Gervais (guitar/lead vocal), Mikey Gervais (guitar/ sax/ vocals), Nick Holman (bass/euphonium/vocals), Peter Fedofsky (piano/vocals), and Dave Lawrence (drums).

Leaning on the British Invasion music of the 60s to create such memorable pop songs, their songs are filled delicious melodies, intricate three- and four-part harmonies, and hooks to land whales on.

"What A Lovely Surprise To Wake Up Here" is the perfect follow-up to "Heaven�s Waiting," which was voted one of the best Northwest releases by Seattle�s Three Imaginary Girls, and received regular airplay on influential station KEXP. The band was also invited to perform live on KEXP in support of that album.

For "What a Lovely Surprise to Wake Up Here," the band recorded the album live at London Bridge Studios, home to seminal grunge records such as Pearl Jam�s "Ten" and Soungarden�s "Louder Than Love." Eschewing the modern urge to overdub and tweak like crazy, the band stood on its own, as close to their live set as possible. The result is fresh and also refreshingly familiar a real band playing real instruments live in the studio without all of the new fangled technical doo-daddery that is ever-present in music these days.
