Gothenburg, or “the city of Goths” hosts The Cure at the Scandinavium for the fourth time today.
Also named Göteborg & Go:teborg (because that seemed more international somehow), the city
However, despite the name, the city insists it’s not a goth city in much the same way as Robert insists The Cure is not a goth band. Which is why they like playing there. In solidarity with the misunderstood municipality.
In the late umpteenth century Gothenburg narrowly lost out to Battenburg for having a cake named after it with the judges claiming that for a region claiming not to be goth, their entry very much appeared to have a goth motif.
In a last ditch attempt to gain global recognition, the city turned to the entertainment industry for help. & help they did when twitchy-eyed 80’s midget popstrel, Sam Fox, teamed up with the makers of the 2018 blockbuster, Videoman to shoot parts of her video for the worldwide smash hit Hot Boy in Gothenburg. Although we’re not entirely sure which bits as we were quite distracted by the DeLorean. And the smoulering stares from the aforementioned “Hot Boy”.
Now here’s a little tidbit of information that’ll get the Star Wars nerds all tingly. Göteborg is the birthplace of the mysterious Luthen Rael from the Andor TV series.
But enough of the high brow historical background. You all want to have a bit of fun right?
Well, after gorging themselves on inglagt sill and quaffing Amazing Haze
TemptationTwo & rosered will make their way to a building that somewhat resembles a cake that’s sunk in the middle (cake fail again huh?) & we hope they you have the most brilliant night.
Now have a guess what colour the city flag is :lol: What is it with you guys and blue/white & yellow?Oh well. I think I can make three colours work.
