CURB SERVICE is the moniker for ex-Lorenzo Goetz founder, front man, guitarist and songwriter Larry Gates. In October of 2007, Gates released Little Red Recovery Room, a collection of songs new and old. Here, the organic sounds of LG are replaced by more beat-driven tunes, but the undeniable catchy melodies still endure. The follow-up, Fly Casual, is his most cohesive work to date and features tongue-twister riddles coupled with radio-ready pop hooks.

Over the years, Gates has toured countless miles around the country, playing legendary stages such as CBGB, The Bitter End (New York), Abbey Pub, Hard Rock Cafe, Millenium Park (Chicago), The Pageant (St. Louis), Fine Line (Minneapolis) and sharing bills with everyone from Chuck Berry, G. Love & Special Sauce, 30 Seconds to Mars and Local H to hip-hop stalwarts Heiruspecs, Mudkids, Mr. Greenweedz and Krukid.
