Overview
A double bill of two tribute acts: The Cureheads, paying homage to The Cure, and Siouxsie and the Budgiees, honouring Siouxsie and the Banshees. Both are performed at O2 Academy2 Islington in London.
The Cureheads are a tribute to The Cure, the group formed in Crawley in 1976 and built around Robert Smith's guitar and vocals. Their namesakes'best-known records include Disintegration (1989), and their songs have long been staples of alternative radio. The Cureheads are not The Cure, and the evening presents them as a homage to that catalogue.
Siouxsie and the Budgiees pay tribute to Siouxsie and the Banshees, the London band formed in 1976 by Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin. Their album Kaleidoscope (1980) and the single Hong Kong Garden are among the records the tribute draws on. As with the first act, this is a homage rather than the original group performing.
The night is aimed at listeners who follow post-punk and alternative rock from the late 1970s and 1980s, and at fans of tribute shows. It takes place at O2 Academy2 Islington, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows.
