L.A. TV Show Lands Exclusive Episodes with Original Members of The Cure

One of the most influential and successful musical groups of the past 30 years is without a doubt The Cure. Since 1978 they have sold over 27 million units worldwide and have accumulated 40 platinum and gold records. Two of The Cure’s co-founding members Laurence (“Lol”) Tolhurst and Michael Dempsey will be taping extremely rare appearances on the Los Angeles-based television show “Focus in the Mix with Denise Ames” together Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 at AMGA Studios and the media is invited to this historic event.

During their teenage years in England Tolhurst, Dempsey and Robert Smith played under a few different names before deciding on “The Cure” (named after a song Tolhurst wrote). The trio recorded the masterpiece album “Boys Don’t Cry” (spawning “Killing an Arab”, “Jumping Someone Else’s Train”, “Fire In Cairo”), wildly popular in the alternative music community. After Dempsey left to play with other big acts like Roxy Music, Tolhurst and Smith forged on to co-write many more of the band’s hits (“Let’s Go To Bed, “The Walk”, “The Caterpillar”), the genius album “Pornography” etc, putting them at Superstar Status still in heavy rotation on both alternative and main stream radio airwaves to this day.

Tolhurst has relocated to Los Angeles; Dempsey is visiting So Cal (from London) to collaborate with his former band mate. Both will be setting the record straight on back stories not often told including the disarming of the original members, during their exclusive and extremely rare on-camera, three-part interview that they chose to allow the “Focus in the Mix with Denise Ames” TV show host conduct. Very rare early photos of the band, obscure recordings as well as new material with other music groups will all be included along with their plans for the near future (Smith and Tolhurst are communicating again, much to the delight of the millions of Cure fans out there).

All Celebrity call times for Tuesday, May 6th:
Yvette Lopez/Playboy model: 12pm – 1pm; Daisy/Vh1’s Rock of Love II: 1pm – 2pm;
Laurence Tolhurst and Michael Dempsey/original members of The Cure: 2pm-4:30pm.

Lol and Michael recording together

"My neighbor here in L.A. has just helped Lol and Michael Dempsey record the third Levinhurst album. This occurred last Tuesday-Thursday. They have teamed up with another guitarist and Lol's wife. Lol is on drums, and Michael is on bass, and his wife is on vocals.
He was really nice and got some albums signed for me by both Lol and Michael."
(Thanks Brent)

bah Lol en plus bouffi.. on le reconnais..par contre Dempsey..je l'aurai jamais reconnu si son nom avait pas été ecrit en dessous comme Pierre Barthez...

Lol confirms work with Michael

Regarding Lol working with Michael Dempsey on the new Levinhurst album along with an unnamed guitarist, I posted on Levinhurst's board and asked Lol:

"Lol, Craig posted a statement on Chain of Flowers from someone who said that Michael Dempsey plays bass on the new album, and that there's a guitarist, as well, but their name isn't mentioned. Is this true?"

To which Lol responded today:

"Yes It is! Michael recently came out to California and we worked on nine new songs with Eric Bradley ( Levinhurst Live Guitarist ) and Cindy.We hope to finish the new album for release around october/november time"
