Roger Interview on Pharmacy Radio

Really nice interview with Roger on Pharmacy Radio. It's broken into 3 parts, and they start at 6m48s, 24m42s and 47m10s. Roger's favorite song to play live - 'Like Cockatoos'. Favorite song he played on - 'Prayers For Rain' or 'Same Deep Water As You'. Favorite Cure song to just listen to - 'All Cats Are Grey'.

Can Roger be allowed to put together the setlists from now on? Or at least let the man play his favorite songs more often? :)

First Cure show rumor for 2014 - Hungary?

The first rumor of a Cure show in 2014 comes from Recorder in Hungary. It says The Cure may play a festival there between July 14th - 20th. Goes without saying, but this is nothing more than a rumor and not confirmed. In fact, the promoter has denied there are any negotiations with the band. (Thanks Mars and Jorge)
