This Sunday there will be a Cure cover band playing at the Boro. Titled “The Lovecats”, the band is supposedly a 4 piece and is headed by Seth Graves of Casio Casanova fame. Let’s hope they play “One Hundred Years”….

From Beth of Forget Cassettes:

If you’d asked me two years ago if I was excited about seeing Phantom Planet I’d have knocked you over with my indifference. However, PP, as I like to call them, have found their inner malcontent and released one big temper tantrum of an album.
