The Cure: 4:13 DREAM

[bono_212]

I hate the fact that this thread title is still relevant.

The Cure : Official Site : News :: As Clearly And Succinctly As I Can

That is some RSX at his most classic, though. Surprised I managed to miss that press release for over a month.

Hopefully he can get all of this out of his system in the coming months and then maybe next year we get a real new album.

Robert Smith covers a Twilight Sad track as the b-side to their new single.

Single is $10 with $12 in shipping charges.

Danny Boy....you really...really got me excited when I saw a post in this thread.

Some actual news:

Will cross state lines for this, guys.

I hope The Twilight Sad doesn't cut into The Cure's set time too much. They're a solid band, but I want some 3 hour sets and the Hollywood Bowl has a strict 11 PM curfew.

Nonetheless, really glad The Cure have finally gotten off their asses and back on the road. Maybe this will lead to some new music too.

 

[bono_212]

I'm a little disappointed by the venue, on second thought. I want to see one of those unique long shows so badly, and I'm definitely assuming that the venue in this case is going to preclude that...

I wouldn't worry too much. The last time I saw them, 65daysofstatic played for about 40 mins, Cure played for right around 3 hrs.

I'm hoping they remember they made albums before Head on the Door, unlike their Lolla set a few years ago.

 

[bono_212]

You sound just like Travis.

Weren't the TIB/17S/Faith shows in LA? Like, if you wanted all the early stuff you got your fix there.

They were playing a bunch of The Top material on their last festival run, which makes me eternally envious. Birdmad Girl

That would have been great, but I live in Chicago.

Any halfway decent Cure fan would want to hear something from before 1985.

Unfortunately, I think the Hollywood Bowl show is going to be geared toward the Friday I'm in Love crowd.

Sorry, my bad. two hours of sleep and mobile Interference are not a good combination.

I'm not going to complain about anything they play because I'm enough of a fan to just be happy to see them . It's not like they're on a constant tour cycle here in the States.

I have zero idea why you think a none festival set would be geared at casuals.

Calm yourself, child.

Can we agree that the Cure have the best set-lists of any band that's ever existed? Just on volume alone....and I love how they'll focus on albums like Seventeen Seconds or the Top. Imagine any other big band playing most of a weirdo (and glorious) early release. Oh God I hope they don't start playing most of Wild Mood Swings, the Cure, or 4:13 Dream...

and I hope this tour isn't in support of a new album...let alone outtakes from 4:13 Dream. Smith has unfortunately forgotten how to both write good songs and approve mixes and productions that are at the very least not painful to listen to.

Presale isn't working on the desktop

 

[bono_212]

And now I can't find any tickets on the app either....fuck...either they released like no tickets, or this is going to be a nightmare.

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm hoping they remember they made albums before Head on the Door, unlike their Lolla set a few years ago.

The last time I saw them, they did an encore set of 3 Imaginary Boys songs followed by an encore set of Seventeen Seconds songs. I would judge a festival set list as representative of a standard Cure show.

 

[prbiker15]

Great to see that they're doing a North American tour.

And now I can't find any tickets on the app either....fuck...either they released like no tickets, or this is going to be a nightmare.

They added a second show at the Hollywood Bowl - May 23rd.

 

[bono_212]

I'm glad, because now that I'm rereading the presale page on The Cure's website, it almost seems like they released ALL the tickets in the pre-sale...hope I'm reading that wrong. I would've much rather gone to a Sunday night show than a Monday, but I'll definitely take what I can get at this point.



Listened to Bloodflowers this morning. "There Is No If..." is just one of Those songs.

 

[bono_212]

Phew...got tix.

06-26 Miami, FL - Bayfront Park Amphitheater

Oh boy. I think I'm going to be spending most of my summer in Miami, so I have my eyes on this.

 

[bono_212]

UIC PAVILION?!?!?!? Fuck me that would be fantastic. I wanna move back home so bad .

 

[joyfulgirl]

God god, I almost missed this. A day late for El Paso but because of how slow things move down on the border, I still managed to score a very sweet 9th row seat. I love that venue so much - seats about 12,000 - and the Mexican audience absolutely rules. (Anybody still unsure what immigration can do for the US? Visit El Paso. Went from a shit hole to a beautiful, vibrant city.)

Now I'll try for Denver when they go on sale this morning.
