Move like cagey tigers and celebrate one of the world’s most enduring and creative bands, boasting a list of hit singles that would make most boys cry.
The Taproom Tribute nights roll on in celebration of the post-punk, pop, emo, goth, rock, dance (sometimes all in one song) legends, The Cure.
Featuring local heroes The Steinbecks, Grim Fawkner, Breaker Breaker and even more special guests, this will be a night for all the love cats to hit the floor and sing love songs. Smudged lipstick is essentially essential.
