History
The Lee Family Curse was born in college basements around 1994 in St. Paul, a byproduct of Macalester College. They called themselves the Bottomfeeders for a little while, till they learned that was a bar band in St. Louis. The new name was a nod to the supermanly royal family of Asian film. They practiced in the industrial parts of town where rehearsal spaces tend to be, hauling gear back and forth to the Turf Club, Lee's Liquor Lounge, and 400 Bar for shows.
Then things got complicated. Josh and Adam wanted to reign in the songwriting. Corwin moved out to Providence, joined up with american rockers Barn Burning, became a furniture builder. Mike Storey eventually landed in NYC, started the power garage rock Izzys, built a giant plate reverb from scratch. Brian Tester started Triangle, took that out to Oakland. Adam put together a recording studio, produced live albums for Triangle and Lifestyle of Wigs, and studio albums for Spikedriver and the Izzys, and alot of his own songs, alone and with Josh or Kieran. Adam went to medical school in Brookyn NY, kept making music. Josh taught high school art in Edina, met a lot of good kids, and has recently entered architecture school.
