The Accureacy (the greek The Cure tribute band) present an Unplugged The Cure tribute on April 13th 2013 in Thessaloniki, Greece!
Two years after our successful first Unplugged gig, we thought we should do it again. So on Saturday April 13th, at around 23.00 and for almost 3 whole hours, we will be performing some classic - and some very unexepcted! - The Cure songs, using exclusively acoustic and toy musical instruments: acoustic guitars and bass, cajon, tambourines, shakers, maracas and castanettes, accordion, toy piano, melodica, harmonica, glockenspiel... even kazoos (yep, we are doing The Walk!).
The venue is a very nice and cozy bar located in Thessaloniki centre, named Barodos (Vyronos 3, Diagonios, Thessaloniki) and the entrance is free! This Saturday, April 13th at around 23.00 (if anyone is planning to come, be there earlier if you want to get a good table near the stage).
Bear in mind that May 5th is the greek Easter day. The May 1st work holiday is transferred to Tuesday 7th, so Athens may be a little lifeless from Friday May 2nd until Wednesday May 8th, since most people might leave for a 5-day Easter holiday... Just saying...
Still very tired, as I myself had to set up the whole stage (microphones, amps, cabling etc.) but I really enjoyed it as it turned out brilliant. We started at about 23.30 and played for almost 3 hours straight (apart from a 5-minute break). Not many people came but that was somewhat expected as the weather for the last couple of days was almost summer-y (temperatures in excess of 22 degrees and sunny during the day) and most left town for the weekend.
So, here is the Unplugged playlist:
1. IN YOUR HOUSE 2. PUSH 3. A LETTER TO ELISE 4. LETS GO TO BED 5. KYOTO SONG 6. IN BETWEEN DAYS 7. FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE 8. LULLABY 9. FASCINATION STREET 10. THE BLOOD 11. JUST LIKE HEAVEN 12. LOVESONG 13. FIRE IN CAIRO 14. BOYS DONT CRY 15. JUMPING SOMEONE ELSES TRAIN 16. IF ONLY TONIGHT WE COULD SLEEP 17. THE CATERPILLAR 18. CLOSE TO ME 19. THE WALK 20. M 21. A NIGHT LIKE THIS 22. A STRANGE DAY 23. A FOREST 24. THREE IMAGINARY BOYS 25. SUBWAY SONG 26. 10.15 SATURDAY NIGHT 27. KILLING AN ARAB 28. FOXY LADY 29. TO WISH IMPOSSIBLE THINGS
Yep, we did Foxy Lady! And implemented some improvised Tuxedomoon lyrics (No Tears) in the middle of it, it was so fitting! We also did The Walk with kazoos and it was so much fun!
I recorded the whole event on minidisc and listened through it today and the recording is excellent. Expect some uploads soon, as well as some videos (I have 1 hour's worth of video in my camcorder and about a dozen more songs in my sister's camera, so plenty of stuff).
Many thanks to the people that did turn up, see you at our next gig!
