About The Cure
British rock band The Cure expresses despair, frustration, and futility with an uncompromising message. Known for their post-punk, angst-ridden music, the Cure has attracted a cult following worldwide. A 1989 tour saw the group play its first stadium venues in America after years as an underground sensation. Robert Smith is a songwriter-singer who uses music to exorcise existential guilt.
Standing on a Beach was the Cure’s first American release in 1986. So it had been over ten years since Smith and his partners began making music. Azerrad explains that between the Cure’s debut and subsequent albums Boys Don’t Cry, Seventeen Seconds, and Faith, they went from being an energetic pop band to being in irritable moods, with songs like The Funeral Party’ and The Drowning Man’ exuding a dark radiance.
In addition, their hairstyles, red lipstick, and clothing cultivated a punk look. Pornography, an album of almost every song which mentions death, was Smith’s nadir of morbidity. With a setlist featuring some of their greatest hits and new material from their upcoming album, this will surely be an event not to be missed. So get your tickets now and join The Cure on this epic journey! Stay tuned for more details from the event and other updates from the world of showbiz.
