Fact #147983

When:

Short story:

On their first tour of America, The Cure play the first of three nights at Hurrah, New York City, USA.

Full article:

Robert Smith (The Cure) : We’d obtained cult status out there but we only played New York, Philly, Washington and Boston. We played three nights – 15, 16 and 17th – at Hurrah in New York and it was packed.”

Simon Gallup (The Cure) : It was done on a shoestring budget but it was lots of fun. Instead of having cans of beer backstage, we’d have shots of Southern Comfort!

Robert Smith : It was like a holiday. Even at this point, everything we did, we didn’t think we’d be doing again so we used to go to bed at about five in the morning and get up again at eight just to go out and see New York.
