Donnie Sutherland on Sounds and After Dark:
Donnie talking to Robert Smith, Lol Tolhurst and Simon Gallup of The Cure.
This interview was taken during The Cure's second tour of Australia in 1981.
At 2:12 Robert Smith's call for a support band with a female leadsinger and a drum machine would be answered by the Sydney-based Newcastle band Pel Mel. If you're interested, check out Pel Mel's 1981 music video ''No Word From China'' (not quite a three piece, but certainly close to The Cure's lane).
Sounds/Sound Unlimited first introduced the Australian public to The Cure when the show played their music video to ''10:15 Saturday Night'' back in 1978.
Unfortunately, the first few seconds of this interview wasn't recorded in time.
