Overview

They told us that boys don't cry and that they wanted things to be just like heaven. They fell in love on Fridays, hopped into a mint car and dialled a wrong number. They're The Cure, the enduring English rockers who helped define the gothic rock genre. They're also the well-deserving subjects of the Triffid's latest icon-focused evening.

After offering up odes to Bruce Springsteen and Fleetwood Mac, the Newstead hotspot breaks out the hairspray, black outfits and ample eyeliner for a night with a more melancholy mood. And what better name for it than Lovecats, a Tribute to The Cure, referencing the hit single everyone can't help but sing along to.

As always, some of Brisbane’s finest talent will share their interpretations, including The Jensens, Baskervillain, Eden Mulholland, Silent Feature Era and Garrett Kato. Each act will play four songs by The Cure, plus two originals of their own. Given the music they're working with, there's no doubt you'll want to be close to them — and who knows, they might want to take pictures of you.
