What's up with The Cure?

I saw them about 2 years ago on their Bloodflowers tour, which was their last album release. Since then, I’ve not heard a word about the band and their website is woefully out of date. Any idea what these guys are up to?

I’ve heard from various sources that they’re recording a new album. I can’t find any concrete information on the Internet, but from what I’ve heard, some dude (Ross Robinson) who is best-known for producing for metal bands–Slipknot and the Blood Brothers (!) will be doing his thing for their new album. I can’t help but wonder if this is all some twisted joke. Apparently, they’ve signed to a label which has included Glassjaw, the Blood Brothers, and Amen among its lineup. What a bizarre juxtaposition.

They’ve been hassling samarm… The bastards!

From a Robert Smith interview, seen on MTv about 2 decades ago:

Apparently, he’s having difficulty finding a long enough rope…

I thought Bloodflowers was going to be their last and they were retiring or whatever?

That site is certainly more informative than their “official” site!

They did recently release their Trilogy Concert on DVD, which I thought was a pretty cool idea. For those of you who don’t know, they played one show where they played “Pornography”, “Disintegration”, and “Bloodflowers” IN FULL with short intermissions between. They only did a couple of these and filmed them for a DVD. For fans who really love the band, this seems like a fantastic idea - not all that interesting for non-hardcore fans, but a cool idea nonetheless.

I don’t know how they are going about selling this dvd set, I’ve just heard talk about it on Depeche Mode sites :smiley:

Wow, that sounds amazing! I’ll have to check that out.

I’d buy the Pornography one. Some of my favourite stuff is from that album.

Actually, I think they are only sold as a package with all three in one show.

I saw the Trilogy DVD in the store the other day. I considered buying it, but decided I couldn’t afford it right now. It seems to be on one disc, but I didn’t look at it all that closely.
