Official 930 Club The Cure at Merriweather 6-22 Thread

two questions:

1. is there really going to be a curfew so they have to stop playing at 1045 or 11???

2. anyone know if a new album is in the works….not sure i want one though ..

3. Rumors abound that this show will be "bonkers". Confirm/deny?

Cure moshpits are things of legend. I predict at least 2 boardies get one of their limbs ripped off and they are beaten to death with them. Such brutality. . .

Is that some kind of mashup of Richard and Linda Thompson and MBV?

Yes. 

Why should this show be any different from the rest?

I expect the curfew..such a bummer.. can't they just not have an opener or something?

maybe we should petition Columbia for an excemption or something??? I wish I could tag Seth here..

I am in a position to confirm this…Mary is a big fan of the social network…in fact the way she comes on to me is kinda creepy…

"THE CURE TOUR 2016" will present Robert Smith (voice/guitar), Simon Gallup (bass), Jason Cooper (drums), Roger O'Donnell (keys) and Reeves Gabrels (guitar) as they explore 37 years of Cure songs, mixing hits, rarities, favourites and as yet unreleased tracks in a brand new stage production that promises to be the 'must see' show of the year!




glad we'll see Gallup and O'Donnell assuming there is no falling out..

I saw Gabrels play with Bowie on two occasions…

Are these guys such pussies they won't rip through a curfew? I've seen many a show there go past 11pm.

well that is encouraging..but they can play 4 hours shows easily. often do… its hard to figure how that happens here..i really think we need a petition… if Seth signed it…

as far as pussies… Robert Smith strikes me as a sort of pussy.. i'm not sure though…

Reeves Gabrels on guitar is very interesting. I think I'm one of the few people on Earth that liked Tin Machine. If nothing else, I'm glad he's still getting work.

Wait, the lead singer of The Cure doesn't seem like a rough and tumble meathead? I'm stunned by this analysis.

i was playing a lot of guitar in my late teens when Tin Machine was active, and i though Gabrels was awesome.  very unconventional.  that being said, i wonder how that will translate to playing with the Cure…

Dear Jerry went to 11:30 last year. I wonder what that cost them.
