Info for Los Angeles

Erstklassiges Kollabo-Album mit Alternative-Supergroup-Aura, das zunächst auf der exquisiten rhythmischen Kompetenz von zwei der berühmtesten und einfallsreichsten Schlagzeuger der Post-Punk-Ära, Lol Tolhurst von The Cure und Budgie von Siouxsie & The Banshees und The Creatures gründet, dazu kommt die unbestrittene, umfangreiche Qualität des seit Jahrzehnten umtriebigen Produzenten und Multiinstrumentalisten Jacknife Lee. Die Liste der Kollaborateure reicht von James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem bei 2 Songs), Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream bei 3 Songs), The Edge (U2 bei 2 Songs), Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse), Idles-Gitarrist Marc Bowen bis zu Lonnie Holley und Mary Lattimore. Das Album zeigt sich experimentierfreudig, ist dabei aber griffig und bewegt sich traumwandlerisch geschmackssicher zwischen analoger Electronic und Industrial-angehauchtem Indie-Rock, versehen mit Kraut und Psychedelic. Eingespielt mit einem Arsenal an Synthesizern, Gitarren und Percussion-Instrumenten, dazu gesellen sich bisweilen auch Orchestersounds, von Jacknife Lee universell verdreht, manipuliert und meisterhaft geformt.

Lol Tolhurst, Budgie, Jacknife Lee

Lol Tolhurst
is a musician, Author, and performer.

He is best known as a founding member of the band that virtually invented alternative music, The Cure. Formed in 1976, The Cure is one of its generation’s most influential, successful, and critically acclaimed bands.

As The Cure’s drummer, Lol toured the globe many times over, supporting the ground-breaking albums Three Imaginary Boys, Seventeen Seconds, Faith, and Pornography. He took on keyboard duties in the mid-eighties until he departed from the band in 1989, at the time of their masterwork Disintegration.

In the early nineties, Lol relocated to Southern California, where he continued to write, record, and tour with his band, Levinhurst.

2011 saw a momentous reunion tour with his former bandmates and Lol performing with The Cure again for the first time in over twenty years.

Lol’s first book was published in 2016. Cured – The Tale Of Two Imaginary Boys is a memoir that draws together the threads of his life and art so far!

Before the pandemic shut the world down, Lol toured Cured in North and South America, the UK, and France making over 300 appearances supporting the book. This journey, similar to the one he undertook all those years ago, starting with the Cure, reacquainted Lol with his loyal fanbase. His creative journey continued with an unexpected meeting with his old friend Budgie from Siouxsie and the Banshees.

This album contains no booklet.
