Cure Trivia Questions?

Name the band/album produced by Lol Tolhurst in 1983? They did not really amount to much. Shame for Lol it was in the right vain..

Re: Cure Trivia Questions?

Which band were Boris Williams and Porl Thompson in prior to The Cure? They supported the boys on the Disintegration tour..

TLC

Re: Cure Trivia Questions?

Babacar!
Babacar is Caroline Crawley (voice, guitars, keyboards, songwriter), Boris Williams (drums, formerly of the Cure) Roberto Soave (bass, formerly of the Cure during the Prayer tour),
Jem Tayle (guitar, Shelleyan Orphan) and Rob Steen (guitar). The album also includes performances both credtied and uncredited by Porl Thompson of the Cure.
The members of Babacar have all made their mark on music in other bands before coming to Babacar. Caroline and Jem were the two principal members of Shelleyan Orphan.
Shelleyan Orphan recorded three albums of lush orchestral pop for Rough Trade/Columbia and can be credited with creating a sound that has brought us the likes of The Sundays and the Cranberries. Caroline has also sung on the last This Mortal Coil album and the recent Josh Wink album "Herehear" (Columbia) . Roberto Soave comes to Babacar from the much heralded Associates where he beat out the bass lines on a series of successful records. Boris Williams was, of course, the drummer for the super group The Cure throughout the 80's and early 90's.

Caroline Crawley formed Babacar after the breakup of Shelleyan Orphan with Orphan's bass player Roberto Soave (he left the Associates to Join Shelleyan Orphan) and drummer Boris Williams. Shelleyan Orphan had supported the Cure on their World tour of '89 and Boris had played on Shelleyan Orphan's final album "Humroot".

Work on Babacar's debut album began at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios with Shelleyan Orphan's Jem Tayle and former Cure member Porl Thompson helping out on guitars.

Boris Williams left the Cure to concentrate on the new project and Jem soon joined as a full time member while still keeping his own group Elephantine going. Caroline also has continued with various other projects including This Mortal Coil and Josh Wink albums.

Well a one word answer would have sufficed, the word I had been looking for was not Babacar although you did include the answer I was looking for Shelleyan Orphan so I will concede you got the answer. Did Babacar support on the Disintegration tour?

I am guessing you will come up with a humdinger of a question following your answer..Bamber (Sugargirl)Gascoine

Re: Cure Trivia Questions?

Here's your starter for ten!

What is the name of the guy who stabbed himself, before the start of a Cure concert, at The Forum in Los Angeles, 1986?

Re: Cure Trivia Questions?

Jonathan Moreland, although I have to confess I did cheat on this one...

What was the first thing Robert always did as a boy when he purchased a new single....?

TLC

Re: Cure Trivia Questions?

Easy! He would flip it over & listen to the b-side first! As he always thought that the b-sides were better than the a-sides!

What was special about the sleeve of The Walk 7"?

I have no idea, but I really wanna know! Maybe the fly on the cover was on Robert's head? Or maybe he took the picture? I have no clue. :)

Re: Cure Trivia Questions?

You can see what the poster looks like & buy one from here if you can afford £27/$41.85. Only one copy left! :

The Carnage Visors film, by Ric Gallup, accompanied by The Cure's soundtrack for it!

I will let someone else think of a new question, as I don't want to take over here too much! I will also let someone else answer, for a change! Tee hee!

Re: Cure Trivia Questions?

What is the thing written on Robert's passport that he finds funny?

Re: Cure Trivia Questions?

Does the passport ask for "any distinguishing features"?

Well done Luciel!

I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.
