Before the COVID19 pandemic caused wide sweeping cancellations for artists around the world, Curse Mackey was poised for one of the biggest years of his career having come off of a successful 2019 that saw the release of his solo album INSTANT EXORCISM <\/em>on Negative Gain Productions, which was considered by many genre playlists as a top release amongst Alternative and Post-Punk press. Mackey was poised to extensively tour the US throughout 2020 and into 2021.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to June 2020 where to this point, Mackey has had over 60 shows cancelled. The cancellations began in March, Curse was mid-tour with darkwave legends Clan of Xymox when the decision to cancel the rest of the tour was made on March 15th. He was set to join PIGFACE<\/strong> on a 45 date US summer tour tour, and also play supporting dates for Stabbing Westward<\/strong> and Front 242.<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE PIVOT TO VIRTUAL CONCERT PRODUCTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

In collaboration with his partner Rona Rougeheart<\/strong> of Austin dark electronic act SINE<\/strong>, the two began to build a micro soundstage and TV studio in their rehearsal space. Mackey and Rougeheart went live for the first time on June 5th with an eighty-minute live program that debuted the new SINE single \u201cDesolate District\u201d and featured a guest appearance and interview with Chris Connelly <\/strong>(Ministry<\/strong>, RevCo<\/strong>, Pigface etc).<\/p>\n
