Liqueur
New Cross Inn, SE14 6AS , [Venue Details]New Cross Live presents Liqueur - a tribute to The Cure
The idea of forming a Cure tribute band was first ‘jokingly’ discussed over more than a few beers in the summer of 2006.
The original idea was to be a food and drink-based tribute band, given The Cure’s reputation as enthusiastic drinkers and lovers of a good curry!
Hours of fun ensued ‘fooding up’ Cure songs and albums, including such gems as Piemary, A Forest Gateaux, Quiche me Quiche Me Quiche Me and Seventeen Seconds (can you see what we did there?). However once sober, it was decided that a more traditional’ tribute route should be taken if we ever wanted to play to an audience without getting food thrown at us! However, the throwaway name, Liqueur, seemed to stick.
Original Liqueur members, Mark (drums), Daz (bass) and Chris (Guitar/Vocals) were seasoned veterans of the Norfolk music scene and had previously all played together in a mid 90’s Britpop band, Betty Ford. Although not intentional (sic), we were often referred to as a Blur tribute band, thus making the transition to another tribute band relatively straightforward.
At the beginning of 2007, The Three Imaginary Boys began rehearsals in earnest with their first gig taking place on a cliff top somewhere in North Norfolk in August of the same year. The following year, Gary was added to the band on guitar and keyboards.
