The rock band Cursive have been performing together since 1995.

Cursive is the musical fusion of indie rockers Tim Kasher on vocals and guitar, Matt Maginn on bass and vocals, Ted Stevens on guitar and vocals and Cornbread Compton on the drums.

The Omaha-based band that references The Smiths, Pixies and Iron Maiden as influences on its Facebook page, has seen a few highs and lows since its inception in 1995.

Having gone through a band hiatus, two drummers, two guitarists and eight albums, Cursive certainly knows what they are doing.

Their most recent album, “I Am Gemini,” is, according to the band’s website, a “surreal and powerful musical tale of Cassius and Pollock, twin brothers separated at birth,” and was released in 2012.

Check out “The Sun and Moon” and “Wowowow” to get a feel for the sometimes soft and sometimes rough sound of Cursive.

The catchy lyrics are fun to sing along to and the music lends well to dancing.

They are set to perform at 2:35 p.m. Nov. 2 on the Orange Stage.
