CURE FM - The band's pirate party

Cure FM took place on the 31st of August from the Fiction Records office. A flyer distributed at the London's concert three weeks before announced the project. Without giving the frequency to tune in to the band's "very own pirate party" of course. And because of the nature of the set up, only Londoners could catch the show.

Two professional DJs (from American radios) were invited to host the evening with the band. Except first, at midnight (like planned) nothing was on air due to technical problems (after all, it was pirate) and when they almost gave up two hours later, it finally worked. Remixes from Mixed Up would be broadcast, the djs interviewing each member of the band and sometimes these would take control of the whole thing, introducing songs by other bands they wanted to play... At some point, Perry chose a song from an obscur live recording of Echo and the Bunnymen to the great amusement of Simon that understood Perry actually taped the thing himself ! Which he wouldn't admit. Cure Fm closed at 7am, after 5 hours of music, jokes, revelations... The last song that aired that night was Never Enough, which they shoot the video for on the previous night.

And a week later, they did it again. On the 6th September, Cure FM was reborn (this time stopping at 3am). That was probably because lots of people missed the first night. Still jokes, music on the program...and even the weather forecast given by Porl ! The phone line was also opened, Simon would answer the phone, "making new friends"...
