It's a solid album. As a fan of Soccer Mommy's last effort I really enjoy their collab "Losing You." As with the rest of her albums it definitely has a 90s vibe. It seems like the 90s are having a moment, and I'm here for it.

Wowza.

I've only seen them four times, but for me they've never had an off night. Even on just a "good" night to me they're better than a lot of live shows. The NOLA show restored my interest in the band after a couple of decades during which my fandom had waned. Robert's voice is still amazing, and I'd forgotten how many great songs are in their catalog. The merch lines in NOLA were insane, so I didn't even bother. I ordered a second edition show poster when they were posted online. I don't have any plans to attend another show on this tour, which makes me a little sad. I've totally gone down the Cu

Nice! I'd love to get ahold of their NOLA show. That night made me a fan all over again.

Absolutely incredible. I don't know why I always go into a Cure concert with modest expectations. They never fail to blow me away. For years I've heard that Robert and the band have an affinity for New Orleans. That seemed apparent last night. I've never seen him so playful and animated on stage. It helped that a friend had an extra ticket on the second row, which gave me a sweet upgrade from my 100-level seat. They had two encores and played 29 songs, two of which hadn't been performed live in decades. My fandom had kinda lapsed over time, but it may have been reignited last night.

The Cure

Gearing up for tomorrow night's show in NOLA.

In honor of Willie's 90th birthday.

@Chez, the show was so good! I already liked them because of their new album, which may be my favorite of 2023 at year's end. Their performance blew me away. They were in a good mood tonight and did a few shots on stage. After the show they hung around talking to people in the crowd. I saw a couple of days ago that they'll be opening some shows for Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit later this year. I deifinitely think they're going places.

Will do. I'm also digging their new album, and I'm excited about tonight's show. They're playing at Gasa Gasa, a very intimate venue in New Orleans. It's sold out, so I'm sure I'll feel like a sardine. Still I'm expecting a fun evening.

At 48 I'm not a fan of the scream singing in one of the songs , but I very much like the other songs on the album. Especially the songs with country flourishes. They obviously have a diverse group of musical influences. After listening to the album I checked their website for tour dates. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they're playing a very small venue in New Orleans later this month. I grabbed a ticket immediately.
