Indie rock veteran group, Cursive, will take the stage at Café 11 on Monday April 9. The trio consists of Tim Kasher on guitar and vocals, Matt Maginn on bass and Ted Stevens on guitar and vocals. Cursive is well known for their energetic and entrancing live shows, as well as their well-crafted story telling through lyrical themes.

Cursive released their seventh LP, “I Am Gemini” on February 21st, which has been claimed to be their heaviest album yet. “I Am Gemini” is the story of two twin brothers who were separated at birth, and reunited in their birth parent’s original home. The album tells the tale of “mostly good and evil,” Maginn said.

“The Hunger Games” is a movie that was created from a novel by Suzanne Collins. It begins during a time where desperate times call for desperate measures.

Children from ages 12 to 18 are selected at random to represent the district in which they live. One male and one female are chosen in a lottery drawing to fight not only one another, but also 11 additional districts that surround what is called the Capitol. Once these representatives are chosen, they are wined and dined in the Capitol while they train for battle. Only one person is allowed to survive, as they not only fight to the death against each other, but also against weather elements.

For graphic novelist Andre Frattino, growing up in Gainesville and visiting St. Augustine as a child has spawned more than family photo albums.

His previously self-published graphic novel, “The Reaper of St. George Street,” has been published by Pineapple Press and can be found on Amazon and Barnes and Noble Booksellers.

“I’ve been in love with the St. Augustine area ever since I was a kid, and I catch myself on many occasions almost calling St. Augustine my hometown,” Frattino, 28, said.
