Recommended Show TONIGHT: School of Rock presents The Cure Vs. The Smiths @The Croc {1/22}

School of Rock The Cure Vs. The SmithsMy brain fell out of my head when I saw the poster for this show, because it combines 3 things I love to death: the Seattle School of Rock, The Smiths, and The Cure (ok, so secretly maybe I want The Cure to win).

Head over to The Crocodile tonight at 5:30pm to see a bunch of rockin' kids (ages 7-18) take the stage and duel each other with vintage Goth melodies. It's totally unfair that I didn't get to go to rock school when I was young, but at least I can live through these guys vicariously!

And I know I already recommended Another Rainy Saturday's show for tonight, but I also have to recommend this because SERIOUSLY. This show is going to be the most adorable thing ever in the history of ever. Also it starts so early you'll totally have time to go to both!

I suppose it would make sense that a website named after a Cure song would want the Cure to win.

Heh. True! But also, even though I adore The Smiths, I'm much more personally fanatic about The Cure.

I once wrote a really long article on fanatics about The Cure, interviewing Stephin Merritt, Tim Kasher, and other local musicians, artists, and fans like me. But my dream is to write a book contrasting the "essential" fan-bases of The Cure versus The Smiths, like Mechademia 5's "Fanthropologies" book on various factions in the manga/anime world of otaku. Can't believe I ever bring up Stones versus Beatles as a conversational touchstone, when this juxtaposition is so rich in analytical possibility.

I look forward to reading that book Chris! (and I get the most horrible glares and protests when I say I prefer the Stones to the Beatles). :)
