'Beautiful Noise' L.A. screenings
Eric Green's 'Beautiful Noise' documentary will have its Los Angeles premiere on July 10th at Cinefamily.
Update (07/07/14): Sold out! 2nd screening added for July 17th. Get tickets here.
Update (07/22/14): Final L.A. screening added on July 24th. Get tickets here.
Update (07/26/14): And here's a report from John - "I finally got to see Beautiful Noise last night. I've been hassling/encouraging Eric about this project ever since I read a little blurb online in 2005. If I'm not mistaken, I think I actually told you about it as soon as I found out. Well, it was worth the wait. It was a beautiful film about some beautiful music. Anyone who is a fan of Cocteau Twins, JAMC, MBV, Ride, Slowdive, even The Cure will thoroughly enjoy it. Robert Smith features prominently and his opinions on this era of music provides some of the most important sound bytes. I spoke with Eric after the movie. He said he had over three hours of footage of Robert and that he really talked in depth about this music and how The Cure identified with the movement. He also said Robert was very supportive of the film and he is proud to call him a friend now. It will play at festivals over the next couple months. Be sure to see if you can."

According to Business Insider, if you have an extra $500-750,000 laying around, you can hire The Cure to play a show. And I would assume that would include getting to pick the setlist? Starting a Kickstarter right now! :) (Thanks @alex_meehan)

Chicago Riot Fest daily lineup
From Riot Fest on Facebook: "Doors at 2pm on Friday, Doors at 11am on Sat/Sun. We'll be done by 10ish each night."
I'm officially in for the Chicago & Denver Riots. So expect Robert to announce stand alone Cure shows any day now, sending our travel plans into total disarray. :)
Why am I going to both Chicago & Denver? To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the US Prayer Tour. My Prayer Tour shows were Sept. 15th, 16th, 17th, 1989. My Riot Fest dates are Sept. 14th & 20th. Works out pretty well. So if The Cure want to be that 10th mystery band, and play Disintegration in full at the shows, I'm good with that. :)

Thank you Riot Fest fans and family for being patient this past week and thank you for standing alongside us. And even though Riot Fest will be at Mile High Stadium this year, we have officially filed an appeal with Arapahoe County as of this morning because we know we are right. All tickets will be honored at the new location and refunds for those who purchased camping spots will be forthcoming.
