Its my fave Cure tune too Mom, here we are doing it! (Its good till the solo!) The version of 'Fever' is the arrangement by Carlos and the Banditos, which is a lot faster, more Rockabilly style. Though we rehearse that seldom that we havent actuall played it yet! |

I love The Cure too! They had a strange double life as a 'Goth' band with really long dark numbers but also a host of brilliant 3 minute pop singles. Although my own tastes are often very dark, in the case of The Cure I love their more commercial side the best. 'Just Like Heaven' is one of my personal Top Ten songs ever. I also saw Robert Smith playing guitar with Siouxie and the Banshees in the late '70s. —http://www.myspace.com/thepashuns Youth and enthusiasm are no match for age and treachery. |

The TomorrowMen play a cover of Meshugga Beach Party's Sivivon, which is a classic Chanukah song. Does that count? We also do Surf Party. —Danny Snyder Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

That does indeed count. If it weren't a classic then no, it wouldn't count. |

Squad Car, Sleepwalk(not really surf but we as many other bands have, surfyfied it ha ha) that's all I remember right now, the other part of our repertoire are originals and some other garage or old-school punk covers. But it's about 60 % surf. As we continue making new songs the percentage will hopefully increase. —Augusto Vite |

Thanks to all the surf bands, past and present. And thanks to all the fans who care about and keep surf music alive.
I saw the Cure live in the summer of '92 when visiting my uncle in Vancouver, Canada. They played a 10-15-minute version of A Forest that was so intense and emotional I started feeling as though I was levitating. Nope, absolutely no drugs involved. Just a huge high from some incredible music. The Cure were a very powerful live band around that time, and the whole show was pretty amazing as well as, well, kinda cathartic. I felt completely elated afterwards.
