  • Donnie Sutherland on Sounds and After Dark:
    Donnie talking to Robert Smith, Lol Tolhurst and Simon Gallup of The Cure.
    This interview was taken during The Cure's second tour of Australia in 1981.
    At 2:12 Robert Smith's call for a support band with a female leadsinger and a drum machine would be answered by the Sydney-based Newcastle band Pel Mel. If you're interested, check out Pel Mel's 1981 music video ''No Word From China'' (not quite a three piece, but certainly close to The Cure's lane).
    Sounds/Sound Unlimited first introduced the Australian public to The Cure when the show played their music video to ''10:15 Saturday Night'' back in 1978.
    Unfortunately, the first few seconds of this interview wasn't recorded in time.

    "If you want to work with the Cure, get down to the theater at about 4:3o this afternoon." Prepare the DeLorean we're going back 40 years

    The UA-cam algorithms just recommended this video. The mad part is I clearly remember seeing it once on TV 40 years ago, the first time I saw or heard the Cure.

    At around 2:00 Robert Smith says something that makes Simon giggle. I bet that it was some kind of internal joke to foul people outside the band.

      I think it's just because he says : Simons "older" brother, which makes Simon seem like the young kid

    2:20 Oh. Ok... So this is what a TV hosts looked like when make-up wasn't mandatory for them. You could actually see signs of tiredness and genuine dark rings under the eyes on TV. Good old times of authenticity !👍

    A 15 ans je pensais que ce niveau d’expression à 22 ans constituait le sens commun. 30 ans après je les écoute comme des ovnis. Pas peu fier d’avoir choisi ce groupe.
