Easter Monday: The big Cure Day on WDR 2
The Cure are celebrating their 40th anniversary this year under this name. For this reason, WDR 2 dedicates a whole day to the band. Marco Dix from the WDR 2 Musikredaktion announced: "We will work out important musical development phases once again, and we will approach the 'unknown being' of the style icon Robert Smith.
The Cure live
The last album of The Cure came out ten years ago, their only concert in NRW was on 10.11.2016 and Detlev Steinmetz experienced them live. That was certainly not the last tour. And one hour of live music from The Cure will be on Cure Day today.
The cult band The Cure has set musical milestones and hardly a band has as many and as loyal fans as The Cure. Raffaela Jungbauer, WDR 2 Musik, reported that The Cure is being celebrated everywhere in the clubs and that there are cover bands around the world.
Hair like a weeping willow, smudged red lipstick, black eyes and clothes - that's the look of Robert Smith, the singer of The Cure. Anja Reinhardt, WDR 2 Musik, said that today it only shocks so moderately when a man wears lipstick, almost 40 years ago it was different.
In the mid-80s New Wave or New Romantic became mainstream. So The Cure did not adapt to the mainstream, but vice versa. They had brought otherness into popular culture, according to Marc Mühlenbrock, WDR 2 Musik.
