The Cure, live at Primavera Sound, Buenos Aires – November 2023 and São Paolo – December 2023

Last year, The Cure managed the remarkable feat of staging a world tour in support of an album that hadn’t been and still hasn’t been released. It wrapped in South America with an itinerary that included headlining slots at four Primavera Sound festivals, including Buenos Aires, Argentina in late November and São Paolo, Brazil in […]

The Cure – “A Forest”

A little retroactive housekeeping today, the day I finally cross The Cure off my live bucket list. I’ve done a couple posts focusing on their Seventeen Seconds classic “A Forest”, but both have some notable content omissions I’m rectifying now.
