DAMN IT! I guess I'll need to change my flight!
SO WHO WANTS TO PARTY ON SATURDAY? LOL
Andy will the CURSE STILL DO THEIR SHOW?
that would be COOL REAL CURE ON FRIDAY - CURSE ON SATURDAY - REAL CURE AGAIN ON SUNDAY! HELL YEAH!
KelBel: Yes, The Curse went ahead and booked their Saturday show. Brian was pretty confident that The Cure would play Sunday. If they played.
DAMMIT TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jesus!!!!!! we have 2 wait. going 2 wait 2 book my return flight just in case they dont play at all.
Steph - im kinda waiting on that too...
but DAMMIT TO HELL!!!!
I can't imagine Killers, Smashing Pumpkins AND Cure playing Sunday. I mean, that's a great fucking show, right there.
Is there anyone else rumoured to be closing the sunday show?
i thought metallica was somewhere in there...or is that on saturday and im just blind...
Who the heck is Taylor Swifty???
Is she any good?...her name sure sounds dodgy!
You have to hand it to these KROQ people. They know how to keep the Cure fans tuning it at the hour of their choosing :)
Oh, they really are bastards. :)
They killed Kenny!
yes, but who killed mecha-streisand? SMITHRA
Here's the rumored line-up for Sunday: The Cure, The Killers, Death Cab for Cutie, Franz Ferdinand, The All-American Rejects, Jack's Mannequin, Vampire Weekend, Shiny Toy Guns
They are Bastards! Do they love to see The Cure Fans Squirm??? If I was going to LA that weekend, the extra wait to find out Sunday's bands would just make me insane! Changing flights and all that other stuff.
Wonder if The Cure will be the headliner with all the rumored bands that are supposed to play Sunday Night??? Looks like it's going told be an awesome line up! And Saturday night looks decent too.
Wow April that's a good line-up and maybe Franz Ferdinand will be there too! Too awesome!!! It really sucks that I can't make it out for that weekend! :(
man, i was putting all my marbles in for saturday! oh well lol i heard metallica would be sunday from one of their forums but who knows... they can still announce more people for sat also...
Swify - You know it!
I was wondering why they played Franz' new single last night. They are never that quick. I would believe they are playing. Vampire Weekend has a strong fratboy following. This will be an interesting mix of fans
i am so tired of refreshing this damn blog!!!!!
just thinking they MIGHT announce early!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well if they don't, at least we have the other shows. Maybe they need to promote album to a wider audience through tv, have meetings, friends, etc. It would be a nice xtra "big" xmas present though.
Boo!
okay well fuck, if the cure play sunday AND metallica play sunday then fuck work in the ass - i'm changing my flite and calling in sick
and if just the cure play sunday i still might change my damn flite cuz i can't stand not being there
fuckity fuck
LOL CAT!!!!!!!
its FUCKERY i tell you!!!
FUCKERY!!!!
yeah im still holding out on booking my damn flight!!
It's going to be an amazing weekend either way, The Curse will be playing. :)
50 more mins til they hang us on a thread and make us listen to a bunch a crap before FINALLY making the announcement 18 minutes into the 5 O'clock hour - YAY!
This stress is UNREAL! Can't everyone just tell us what is GOING ON NOW and GIVE US A F-ING TICKET ALREADY!
The hard rock night is already done. Metallica is playing a couple shows here in a couple of weeks. Sunday is more "Indie" night.
Cat - I thought of you because Deerhunter is playing up here in a couple weeks at El Rey
cureheart: OMFG I LURVE DEERHUNTER VERY DEERLY - LOL
I have seen them several times but unfortunately missed their album-launch gig here in the ATL recently
GO SEE THEM AT ALL COSTS
Also get Microcastles :-)
Chrisx, it's fucking fuckity fuckery
Mmmmmmmm Cure-licious weekend
DAMMIT! it better not be expensive to switch my flite.
ah hell who am i kidding? i can't afford that.
i gots to save for future kurey gigs stateside.
one thing though - if they play letterman my ass is THERE.
NYC + Dave + Cureyness = Yummables times a gazilion
ok craig i want to know where you got this information! who spilled the beans @ kroq for you? is this a reliable source? or are they blowing smoke up your ass? (ok i really dont care who told you....just want to know if they are trustworthy)
hell, i'd go just for AFI, but these tickets are hard to getttttttt.
ill meet you in NYC for letterman cat!!!!
im SO THERE!!! but DAMMIT it better be on a weekend!!!! i cant be taking all these days off work now.
didnt RSx remember our conversation about touring during summers and the 2 weeks that contain xmas and new years??
sheesh.
Quick question about Leno, do we know if he tapes same day as airing? Cuz if not, my boss is gonna kill me, another change. I already told her about Kimmel not being Live although it being in the name. And how I'd need Monday off then, not Tuesday. Leno better not chin me on this one.
CHRISXXX, we will simply have to call in DEAD to work if Cureyness play Letterman. Cuz NYC is my fave city, and Dave is my BOO, and RSX is my OTHER BOO (well, my main boo, then Dave, then you).
Srsly, I have always wanted to see Letterman live, and I just couldn't stand NOT to be there if Cure played.
and yeah, Chrisx, RSX clearly ain't LISTENIN' to us TEACH PEEPS
UP
WIT
DAT
YO
isnt leno kind of a crap shoot? i mean when the cure played there last, cure fans that had slept out all night were not taken due to a bus load of fucking tourists......im not going to risk it. plus i cant get that day off work unless i call in....
Cat - i love you. :)
steph - that is FUCKED WAY UP. well i guess, technically i would be a tourist!! so maybe i'd get in! woohoo!!
andy - i thought leno was airing on thursday afternoon or something???
My guess is they were told to deny deny deny!
Ok 30 mins more til 5 on the west coast!
GOSH THEY HAVE TO PLAY KROQ IT JUST DOESNT MAKE SENSE NOT TO?!
chris - Dec. 11th, 2008 - Tonight Show w/Jay Leno is what it says. And I only mentioned Tuesday and Monday when I used Jimmy Kimmel as an example. So I was hoping that Leno would stick to Thursday because that's what I told my boss.
andy - yes i think i read somewhere that they record same day. i think sara told me that. she said her dad went and it was recorded like mid afternoon or something and then aired that same night.
im going to play txt twist to pass the time.
Unless they're gonna play their own gig somewhere else, maybe?
I'm just saying...
Roll on Wishful Thinking Tour!
Or crash the Curse's gig on Sat Night :)
Now wouldn't that be swell!
I have a FEELING they will play because they wouldn't come here for all the tonight shows for nothing.
YES SG!!!!!!!!!!!!
but during the 2 weeks that contain xmas and new years!!!
:D
Guess we'll know in like 17seconds,
ermm
I mean minutes...
tick
tick
tick
tick
tick
tick
LOL
crash the Curse gig.
that would be INSANE!!
why am i getting the feeling that they are not playing? im not getting myself worked up for some reason.....i mean i hope they do but hum......
Oh...the suspense!
Thank goodness I bought tix on Southwest...
so easy to change if you need to...
so if they are NOT announced tonight, does that mean FOR SURE they are not doing K-ROQ?
or will K-ROQ pull some bullshit at the last minute?
whats the history with this gig?
i'll be at the curse gig. :) aaiiieeeeeee!
SG - what about last minute changes? like if i book for return flight on sunday and want to change it to monday?
chris - i asked this morning when i called around 5:20am, they said just cuz someone is announced today doesn't mean they can't be added later. lame, i know.
andy...
all i can say is...
they
are
shitasses.
Me too, Andy!
Aaiiieeeeeee!
Chris: On Southwest you just pay the diff in fares (if any) no change fee AT ALL!
it's time. i don't have access to a radio and really can't be on headphones at work. Update me people!
they are playing david bowie andy....nothing yet
we're waiting.. hurry the fuck up KROQ!!
andy ....if you are near a computer which you obviously are (doh!), you can keep refreshing the kroq homepage. they will update it as it is announced. or at least they did this am.
SG!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!
i havent booked yet but i was going southwest anyway...
so WTF!!!!!!!!
ITS TIME PEOPLE!!!
WHY ARENT THEY ANNOUNCING!!!!
I'm in LA and listening.
Cat & Co is playing. Who the fuck is that!!
LOL!!!!!!
Cat and co!!!
Hey!!! thats US!!!
:D

bloody hell guys you've got me so excited that even I am listening!
They are on for an hour so will be before then. God, are they going to make us listen to their entire show
*RUNNING HUG BEAU*
Alright Beau - joing the crazies. I need wine
i need to pee!!
:D
*hugs DJ and everyone else*
Hello!
They said minutes!
They are playing. Look at the KROQ website!
thank the lord we were right.....doubtful but right!
so when do tickets go on sale?
So going back to the Rumor post on COF: link
the only band that has been confirmed are STP. Night 2 would be spectacular with the lineup of Smashing Pumpkins, Killers, and esp. Cure.
OMG!
HOLY FUCK THEY ARE PLAYING ON SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cureheart - Aye, its always healthy to have some hyper cure news....and wine of course. :)
Christ, why am I half expecting to hear "Its Over"?
Sorry, i'm not used to American radio. Better than most UK stuff.
KILLERS
DEATH CAB
I have a feeling this will be very, very hard to get good tickets for.
PARAMORE
FRANZ!!!!!!!!!!
wo0p! They are playing! :).
Now, wheres all that money I need? :(
SCOTT WEILAND, SNOW PATROL VAMPIRE
CURE
better than UK stuff? are you sure beau?
man... that one frickin awesome night to miss.
FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
paramore on the same night as the cure?
festivals are always weird :P
DJ - Sorry I mean better than UK radio ;).
I just screamed at my desk with my headphones on and everyone came out "what concert are you going to!"
THE CURE AND FRANZ
They are playing
the cure
the killers
deth cab for cutie
paramore
franz ferdinand
scott weiland
snow patrol
vampire weekend
OMG!!!
ROFLMAO CUREHEART!!
really beau? i listen to uk radio sometimes, and i think alot of the stuff yall play are better :)
yeah, i kinda jumped in excitement too. :)
OK shit.
Decision time. Do i beg for another day off and stay and hopefully score tickets to this??
Cat - what are you going to do? did you fly southwest babe?
text/call me.
im going home now.
AND I CAN FINALLY PEE!!
we're on!!!!!!
FFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK YES!!!!!!
Scalpers here i come!!!!!!!!
:\
Of course, NOW KROQ starts playing Cure songs. About time
DJ - Yeap, I can't stand most UK radio stuff. BBC 6 and 2 alternative arn't bad I guess. BBC 1 I find awful though but I guess most mainstream radio stations are like that.
I like the way they built up the cure then AND dum, de, dum, de, dum, de dum, dum (Lullaby)
aww come on beau, there are sooo many good UK bands. do you have to put up with emo over there?
sad to hear about BBC, makes you miss j. peel more and more
NIGHT 2 IS INSANE!!
tix will be a bitch to get of course
how the hell do we get tix?
they haven't announced when the sale is. Once they sell out, it will be very costly.
At least they will start playing The Cure and hopefully SOMETHING off 4:13!
tix are gonna be 90-100 a pop. owwie.
They just said Cure could sell out Gibson 30 days in a row if they wanted and they said they played there before. they are grateful they are playing there
DJ - try at least $300
DJ - Emo, I think thats the reason I stopped listening to the radio to be honest. You're right there are a lot of brilliant artists here but there was a time when they were getting swallowed up commercially by all the emo-acts.
Beau - try streaming indie 103.1. let me know your thoughts
cureheart - OWWW. a whole fucking arm and leg!!
beau - that sux. and i thought the emo thing was bad here.
everybody post your limits. ha, not if you don't want to.
i think i'll go as far as $400 for a ticket. no more.
OMG!!!!!! I'm going to LA to go on the Carson Daly!!! I MUST see the KROQ Cure show. Don't give me any shit!! Must. Score. Ticket.
I'll pay money. I'll prostitiute myself. I'll vote Republican. But get me into that show!!!!!!!
$300 or $400 a pop??
Jeepers, I don't think so
Cureheart - Cheers, just started streaming now. :) More like my sort of stuff.
Foo Fighters at the moment, who I don't particulary like but they are barable :). Think i'll add this to my favourites, first impressions are good. :)
Craig - video of the KROQ Advert
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn7GRelBEzw
Cureheart - The Smiths - This Charming Man now. Much better :) Cheers again.
wait...seriously??? $400???
thats it???
i paid more than that for my NYC tickets!!!!!!!
i was thinking more in the 4 digits for prices...but i guess its not THAT insane...
still thinking.....
is there a pit for this?
if so - how much do those historically go for with scalpers for this gig?
Chris - well, i'm giving my limit. not scalpers. hell no, i'm sure they'll make much more. im just saying if i can't find one for under $400 i don't think i can make it.
gotcha andy.
thats about my limit too. what ARE the historical prices for this? anyone?
is this an outdoor thing?
Andy: That link doesn't work, but just go to the KROQ website, they have it posted there.
Who's wearing their Nightmare Before Cure-mas shirt from Rev? : )
PAUL YOU ARE HILARIOUS!!! :)
how hard is it to get tix NOT from scalpers - but from kroq themselves?
and isnt their a 2 pair limit?
chris - there is a pit - there was one last year for sure!!
chris - gibson has a roof
Craig - it's still "processing", but it will. and yeah i know it's at the KROQ website but don't you guys always post links to where videos can be found and someone always wants a YouTube of it, or am i being dumb?
my bet is a revolving stage, just like Gibson had at Download Fest 2008 in July i went to.
ok - im going home.
shit.
must think about what i must do.
i might go ahead and ask for that monday off though...
just in case.......
Since its KROQ it will be a 2 ticket limit and about $80 a ticket and it all goes to charity. They usually have a revolving stage for this. On sale is usually close to the event too. They say its to cut down on scalpers.
dammit - why couldnt they have waited ONE MORE FREAKIN WEEK TO DO ALL THIS!!!!!!!!!
on week later after all this - and ill be off for holiday break....
DAMMIT
DAMMIT
DAMMIT!!
Because the band would like to be home with their families for the holiday.
Wow!!! Simply Wow!!! That's going to be one killer show! The Cure & Franz Awesome! Damn I wish I could go! Have fun to everyone who will able to get ticket!
yeah ok craig...king obvious here...
sheesh. :D
and they could bring their families WITH them!!! why wouldnt they want to have holiday in sunny california!!!!
or better yet - HOUSTON TEXAS!!! what a GREAT idea huh?
:D
Thursday Dec 11th - The Cure on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
Friday Dec 12th - The Cure on Last Call with Carson Daly
Saturday Dec 13th - The Curse: Tribute to The Cure gig
Sunday Dec 14th - The Cure at KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas
Monday Dec 15th - The Cure on Jimmy Kimmel Live
DJ lol
I hope I can go to the KROQ show but with just this one actual real concert lined up in LA in only 3 weeks getting tickets is going to be totally impossible, right? Or is it!!! I won't try to bring you down about my obsession
I am very excited for everyone that has the chance to go and see the shows.
For those who can't make it, I'll see you here at COF for our concert chats.
Just so you know in the past they have played games with the onsales. You were given a time to be at a certain place and they gave out wrist bands and then you had to go line up somewhere else where they chose a starting number at random and tickets were sold till they ran out. I mean KROQ tries to keep the tickets out of scalpers hands and makes buying the tickets hard so hopefully fans will get them. But remember too that there are are only a limited number available for sale if you don't win cause the radio station has most of the tickets for themselves and the bands and the charities and the record companies. It is just a hard ticket to get every year.
Yeah elise it will be an Excellent COF/Cure Chat weekend! I can't wait, I've been so out of the Cure Chat loop for weeks I need to get back in. Just like the tour days!
So these tickets are totally impossible things???
ahhh...to wish impossible things (I had to!)
Paul - they make you feel that way.
FUCK ME RAW AND BACKWARDS
A few tix are already on ebay and the various scalper sites. Fucking scalpers!
i wish i'd never been born
The Official site has the story now:
http://www.thecure.com/default.aspx
Great for Cali CURE fans.......
I wish i could be there...
:(
b - impossible, tickets aren't out yet.
Craig - Yes Virginia reminds me of the Dresden Dolls
5 - 10 AM?? ILL BE IN SCHOOL, THOSE FUCKERS!!
1000 bucks? who do thy think theye fooling?
CAT - NOOOO. the world wouldnt be the same without you. my world especially :)
IF i go, i think i can leave LAX for SFO and make it back here by 7:45.
ill be late to school though..
teacher: why are you late?
"sorry, i just flew in from L.A."
"yeah right. i assume it was a businness trip?"
DJ gets detention :P
wow what weekend
I have to find time to sleep from Sunday night to Monday morning
Fuck ME Raw Backwards and Sideways!!!!
People in charge of the world are such assholes for inflicting this pain on me of probably not being able to attend a concert
THANKS A LOT THE CURE
LOL
DJ, I AM GLAD I WAS BORN ONLY SO I COULD MEET YOU ONE DAY
I AM ANGUISHED OVER POSSIBLY NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE IT TO KROQ, THOUGH
Cat, can you change things and go? We have to all go together. DJ I HAVE to meet you.
Rev's new shirt is perfect for this event.
If you are lucky enough to get a ticket when they go on sale, it will be 90-100. After that, it's going to sky rocket with brokers, etc. It's a private event and hard to get them. They do give away tickets and will say which night it's for.
I really hope most of us can go.
Beau,
Indie plays a lot of new stuff. They will play Foo Fighters and U2 here and there, but not so much. They also have different programs like Big Sonic Heaven and Steve Jones from Sex Pistols has a great show 12-2 our time every weekday. Dave Navarro has a show as well. NO EMO BANDS EVER
CH, IF I CAN GET TIX I CAN TRY TO CHANGE MY FLIGHT
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
I HATE THIS UNCERTAINTY
BUT YOU WILL BE AT CARSON DALY???
Dazed confused and starry eyed
I couldn't be jealous more!!!!
*takes a deep long audible breath and exhale*
*and another one....*
My heart yearns to go to America to partake in this extravaganza.
Alas, woe betide is me...
FUCK MY JOB
FUCK IT WITH AN AXE
NO, WITH A FUCKING CHAINSAW
FUCK THE PACIFIC AS WELL
To those going, PLEASE ENJOY IMMENSELY
Cat - I'm there for Carson, oh yeah! And it' a mini concert so we'll have our Cure fix for the night. I remember you from NY, so I'll come jump on you!
Swifty - Wish you were here too. At least London has the NME to look forward to.
Unfortunately London is even further away from me than Californication.
You see, I come from a land down under. Right now its the pits of the world.
Cureheart-please have a BLAST OF A TIME for me!!
Swifty - we will all be there in spirit, and here on COF.
P.S. Save your money - I'm still sending good vibes to the universe for a full tour next year!!!!
Dearest Elise - I am with you! I am very exited for everyone, even though I won't be there. I am looking forward to the COF chats!
Anyone know how long the Cure's set will be?
*waves to Kate* It feels like forever
Elise - Another tour is a sure bet then. Those vibes of yours work every time.
Anyhow, yes ,SAVE UP!. Its the price we pay for happiness.
But.....I still wanna screw my job with an angle grinder and head to the good'ole US of A next month.
Sadly it aint gonna happen.....
it looks like - the last band of each almost acoustic night gets an hour =/
Night 2 Proceeds benefit Para Los Niños
Night 1 Proceeds benefit Al Wooten Jr. Heritage Center
Night 1 & 2 scalper proceeds benefit Joe the Scalpers coke habit. ; )
Craig - i'll be at the show, but i'll make sure to capture the webcast and share.
Craig....so on point there. I feel kind of bad knowing I might be supporting that charity as well.
lol craig
oh yeah - ticketmaster makes sure your credit card belongs to a cali resident when you buy tix, to prevent scalping
boy, doesnt that suck!
LOL CRAIG!!!
Lollers, Craig!!!!
That "only in Cali" situation is ripe for rorting!!!
HI ELISE!!!
*jumps up and down and waves*
so, can only CA residents win tickets too?
*waves back at Chris*
"FUCK MY JOB
FUCK IT WITH AN AXE
NO, WITH A FUCKING CHAINSAW
FUCK THE PACIFIC AS WELL"
LMAO.
Swifty, I adore you with all my Curey soul.
I will be thinking of you fondly throughout the Carson Daly show.
So if Cureyness only plays an HOUR at the Acoustic, then it ain't worth it for me to take another sick day and change my flight.
But DAMMIT, had I know ANY of this WELL in advance, I coulda done LENO/DALY/KROQ/KIMMEL.
SO yeah. Who's to blame here? TMU?
Prolly.
Let's blame them anyway.
SKREW U TMU.
There. I feel better.
Cureheart, did we meet in the bathroom at MSG?? I know we have talked about this before, but I am VERY flakey, prolly owing to all that WEED I smoked back in the day. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing you again.
YAY!
Cureyness brings us all together.
*kisses the universe*
Cat -
Yes, we met in the bathroom at MSG! I'll see you soon ;o)
ROFLes with cream! It sounds so naughty - we met in the bathroom. What I never understood is, how did you know me when you came up to me? Oh, wait, had you seen my picture? Anyway, LOL. I remember chatting by the sinks. :-)
Cat and cureheart - that is hilarious!
cureheart did i meet you too? i was there too! i cant remember tho!!
cant wait to meet you again! :)
chris, we BOTH met her in the bathroom, I think - it was BEFORE we did our little sneak-a-roo where you met me back in the bathroom to give me your cousin's floor tic. LOL!!! That was so funny how we were trying to figure out what to do, remember?! My plan was far shakier than yours - and yours worked brilliantly and we got to be together. YAY!
Gawd, MEMORIES.
We'll be making new ones soon - I just wish the Kroq thing would work out and we could be in front. BUT if the Cure is only playing a short time and I have to suffer through some of those bands (not all), I'm not sure it's worth it for me.
Crikey! cripes! Cure in concert on Carsons last call in Cali. In the crowd, Clockwork Cat, Cureheart, Christina and other cool curey cats go crazy and out of control.
I'd like to C that!!!
Really I'd love to B there!!!
swifty, you own my heart. so creative and witty.
i wish you could be with us. :-)
cat -
when i remember that show - i completely fall apart!!! :D
INSANE IT WAS!!!!!
CAT!
U
R
HERE!!
HERE
AND
NOW
WITH
ME
!!!!!
:D
cat, yer purty lurvely!
