Brendan Buckley drumming for Lol Tolhurst (The Cure) & Budgie (Siouxsie & the Banshees)- US tour in May / June

I’m excited to be joining Lol Tolhurst, Budgie, and Jacknife Lee for their show tonight at the Casbah in San Diego. Drums, drums, drums!!! #curiouscreatures @LolTolhurst @cruelworldfest @curecreatures

With a little bit of good will, this is almost a Cure/Smiths cross-breeding.

I was about to ask who the vocalist would be but found this YouTube video where the vocals seem to be on a pre-recorded track:

What does that mean for Morrissey's July concerts which he has not announced yet?
Two special event concerts are planned to launch the July release. Please watch this site for details. New sleeve above.

 

[Orange Crush]

So the July concerts are cancelled before being announced? That's got to be a new one!

Why would Brendan’s engagement in early June interfere with dates in July?

Maybe he has a different drummer lined up or he’s doing the gigs to backing tracks like Ian Brown did (hopefully not) or they simply aren’t going to happen.

 

[TheSmiths_1985]

Does he say he’s joining the tour? His tweet just says he’s joining them for one show.

I wish he would goddamn hurry up & announce when and where the gigs will be. It's been too long.

He should sing to the Smiths’ backing tracks, would sound better. I would rather pay to see that actually.

I do like their old skool sounding "Ghosted At Home"

 

[Stephen Hofmann]

I don't care. You're just another session drummer.

 

[Mike Rourke]

Hmm, I wonder which of those options is most likely!

 

[Seymour Glass]

Completely agree, who cares? There's an endless supply of drummers out there.

 

[SuedeMoz]

"I’m excited to be joining Lol Tolhurst, Budgie, and Jacknife Lee for their show tonight"... doesn't say he's drumming for the entire tour. Maybe he is... but going by this statement... not necessarily.

 

[Was I ever any good]

No… it’s all to familiar

 

[Stephen Hofmann]

Yeah, endless. Was thinking M should get Meg White in the band.

‘Meg White's powerful, quirky sound helped her snag 6 Grammys and a spot on Rolling Stones' 100 Greatest Drummers List. She knew how to leave space and give songs character, and that's why she's one of the top rock drummers – and “loudest introverts” – of the 21st century.’

Meg White doesn't get enough credit. Here's why she deserves to go down in history as one of the most iconic rock drummers.

She hasn't done much lately.

She hasn't done much lately.

I heard she has a shyness that is criminally vulgar. A perfect match.

 

[ACTON]

He's joining esteemed company there. I've only seen Budgie in concert twice so far (drumming for John Grant) and he was a powerhouse of pummeling perfection.

Buckley’s a session drummer. But I thought he sounded great and I liked the videos he would post. Has anyone read Tolhurst’s first book “Cured”? I liked it but it seemed like a purgative exercise from his therapist most likely…
