The Cure

Noelle, Jenn, Rachel, and I went to the Download Festival at Shoreline on Saturday. We skipped most of the acts, but got there in time to see AFI *yawn* and The Cure. The Cure were surprisingly good for a band that's been playing for 30+ years. I guess Robert Smith is the only one who's really been at it that long, but still. Anyway, they rocked out surprisingly hard. They did a set that lasted almost three hours, with two encores. I got to hear live a bunch of songs I never thought I would from the old days. No "Lovecats" or "Burn", alas. Maybe some other time if Robert keeps at it.
