Last night, in London's Hyde Park, The Cure peformed under the sweltering summer sun almost 40 years since their first live show. The pioneers of Post Punk, Goth and Alternative Rock- the show for BST Festival was a notable, telling one. Speaking volumes on how far the band has come and how complicated their story, their sound, their appeal has been. ⠀
This partly because it was one of the hottest days of the year so far: picture the Goths who pioneered the sun-shy subculture playing a two hour set under a rising 30 degree heat. Partly because of their yes-two-hour-twenty-minute set list that meandered between every hit, era and phase. Perhaps it was the crowd itself- a hot, heady ratio of Goths clad in black leather and lace; joyous football fans in their white tees and rainbow-garbed Pride partygoers coming together for the greater love of The Cure. What a stunningly poetic picture of British culture, don't you think? From Easy Cure to The Cure- the feeling is that they have finally embraced their sound, complexity and identity, to the utter delight of their varied, far reaching audience.⠀
The Cure's history reads like a long list of break-ups and make-ups, with frontman Robert Smith being the only principal member and songwriter. Forming in Crawley by schoolfriends, they were first Malice in 1976, then Easy Cure in 1977, and finally The Cure in 1978. The long list of ex-members comes down to evolving disputes on creative direction- but because of this their catalogue is one of the most diverse and enduring of any British band out there. ⠀
