Weeks ago, the Tickler, got excited for Darkwave Mixtape's and Lovecats'* gig at Nectar, which happens to be in my neighborhood. And why? Because Lovecats were going to do an entire set of covers of the Cure, natch, and the Tickler is a huge fan of the Cure. (They're also a huge fan of Depeche Mode and can identify even the deepest cut of DM in about one bar.)
So down the hill we went, nomming at Made In House** and going to Nectar. I felt a bit underdressed with the kids all gothed up to the max, and some of the elders all dolled up normie style. But not to worry: the only table we found was in a drafty corner, so I put on the Coat and was fine.
Fidelity to the original? Uncanny. If the guy at the mixer board hadn't made some mistakes, I might have though they were faking it. I guess they knew their audience.

aaminahlefae, and that whole gang. I believe they know people in at least one of the bands.
Do I appreciate the Cure more? Grudgingly, yes. The Tickler wrote down the playlist and gave it to me.
Dancer is here. Must dash!
*If that sounds familiar, it's because I've written here about Prom Date Mixtape, with whom Darkwave shares personnel. It's another 80's cover band.
**They do dinner these days. Aw, yeah.
