Phil Thornalley on being in the CURE
just to prove i was skinny once here's a cure tour '84 photo.
that's me on the left.
this was the ill fated '3 drummers' tour.(spinal tap'esque)
andy anderson became ill in japan and we picked up ex-psychedelic furs drummer
vince ely(he's on the right).after two weeks vince (who i really enjoyed playing
with) had had enough and wanted to return to LA and to his career as a producer.
then i called ex-thompson twins drummer boris and he became a cure fixture for
the next ten years.(i don't remember him saying thanks either).
there were no bizarre gardening 'accidents'involved.
by the end of the tour my time had come too.i had made a vain attempt to add
some disco bass lines to 'let's go to bed' and 'the walk'.sort of boz scaggs/bee
gee'ish stuff.suicide by bassline.
my last gig with the band was at the beacon theatre in nyc in november '84.
and i was never this skinny again.hey ho.
