Cure Christmas & Birthday cards
Went to see Jesus & Mary Chain last night, and they were selling these Christmas cards at their merch table. An investigation into who made them lead to Piper Gates Design. And that lead to the discovery that they also make cards for other bands, including The Cure. Here's the Cure Christmas and Birthday cards.

Another Cure photo book coming soon
From First Third Books:
"We are delighted to announce 'The Cure – Standing Still' for publication in 2017.
For the last 18 months we have been working closely with celebrated music photographer Paul Cox, sorting through and carefully scanning his incredible photographic archive. From 1981 to 2009, Paul worked with Robert Smith and the band on a diverse range of shoots including privately assigned projects, sessions for press use, and promotional sessions for new releases. Paul attended and covered video shoots and a great many private projects, the results of which show him to be an almost official photographer to The Cure. The vast majority of these images have never been published – so this sanctioned and approved limited edition photographic biography, containing over 250 photos from 35 photo sessions will be a unique and important record of such an iconic and timeless band.
We will announce further details for 'The Cure – Standing Still' early in 2017. Please join our Facebook community to keep up to date with news."
Thanks, Colm.

The Twilight Sad's photo diary from the tour
From NME:
Take a peak behind the scenes of the one finest live events of 2016
Having pulled off one of the marathon live shows of the year, The Cure‘s world tour has come to an end. Now The Twilight Sad,
who were handpicked by the band to support them at each and every show,
have shared a photo diary of their life of the road with the band.
“I asked The Twilight Sad to join us on The Cure Tour 2016 because they are the best band playing the best songs – consistently brilliant, emotional, intense, inspiring, entertaining,” said frontman Robert Smith – who also covered their track ‘There’s A Girl In The Corner’. “They have added immeasurably to this year’s live experience – for fans, crew and Cure band alike… and it turns out they are the best people too! I can’t thank them enough.”
