ʻO nā pūʻulu a pau i puka koke ma hope o ka punk rock i ka hopena o nā makahiki 70, he kakaikahi ka mea paʻakikī a kaulana hoʻi e like me The Cure. Mahalo i ka hana nui a ka mea hoʻokani pila a me ka leo leo ʻo Robert Smith (hānau ʻia ʻApelila 21, 1959), ua kaulana ka hui no kā lākou hana lohi, ʻeleʻele a me ke ʻano kaumaha.
Ua hoʻomaka ka Cure me nā mele pop unpretentious ma mua o ka ulu mālie ʻana i kahi hui mele mele.
ʻO ka Cure kekahi o nā hui i hoʻomoe i nā hua no ka pōhaku gothic, akā i ka manawa i loaʻa ai ka kaulana o ka goth i ka waena o nā makahiki 80, ua neʻe aku ka poʻe mele mai kā lākou ʻano maʻamau.
I ka pau ʻana o nā makahiki 80, ua neʻe ka hui i ke ʻano nui ʻaʻole wale ma ko lākou ʻāina ʻEnelani wale nō, akā ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me nā wahi like ʻole o ʻEulopa.
Ua hoʻomau ka Cure i kahi hui ola kaulana a me kahi hui kūʻai moʻolelo maikaʻi loa i nā makahiki 90. Ua lohe maopopo ʻia ko lākou mana ma luna o ka nui o nā pūʻulu hou a i loko o ka millennium hou, me ka nui o nā mea pena kiʻi ʻaʻole kokoke i ka gothic rock.
mua 'anuʻu
Ua kapa ʻia ʻo Easy Cure, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hui ma 1976 e nā hoa papa ʻo Robert Smith (vocals, guitar), Michael Dempsey (bass) a me Lawrence "Lol" Tolgurst (pahu). Mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana, ʻike ka hui i ka pop ʻeleʻele, edgy, guitar-driven pop me nā mele pseudo-literary. Hōʻike ʻia kēia e ka Albert Camus-inspired "Killing a Arab".
Ua hele mai kahi leo demo o "Killing a Arab" i ka lima o Chris Parry, A&R rep ma Polydor Records. I ka manawa i loaʻa ai iā ia ka hoʻopaʻa leo, ua pōkole ka inoa o ka hui ʻo The Cure.
Ua hauʻoli ʻo Parry i ka mele a ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia e hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma ka inoa kūʻokoʻa ʻo Small Wonder i Dekemaba 1978. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1979, haʻalele ʻo Parry iā Polydor e hana i kāna inoa ponoʻī, Fiction, a ʻo The Cure kekahi o nā hui mua e kau inoa iā ia. Ua hoʻokuʻu hou ʻia ka "Killing a Arab" hoʻokahi i Pepeluali 1979 a ua hoʻomaka ka Cure i kā lākou huakaʻi mua ma ʻEnelani.
"ʻEkolu Imaginary Boys" a ma waho
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album mua ʻo The Cure ʻO Three Imaginary Boys i Mei 1979 i nā loiloi maikaʻi ma ka paʻi mele Pelekane. Ma hope o kēlā makahiki, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i nā mele no ka LP "Boys Don't Cry" a me "Jumping Someone Else's Train".
I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻomaka ka Cure i kahi huakaʻi nui me Siouxsie a me nā Banshees. I ka wā o ka huakaʻi, ua haʻalele ʻo Siouxsie a me ka mea hoʻokani pila o Banshees ʻo John McKay i ka hui a ua pani ʻo Smith i ka mea hoʻokani pila. I nā makahiki he ʻumi e hiki mai ana, ua hui pinepine ʻo Smith me nā lālā o Siouxsie a me nā Banshees.
I ka hopena o 1979, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo The Cure i ka mea hoʻokahi "He Cult Hero wau". Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka mea hoʻokahi, haʻalele ʻo Dempsey i ka hui a hui pū me nā Associates; Ua pani ʻia ʻo ia e Simon Gallup i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1980. Ma ka manawa like, ua lawe ʻo The Cure i ka papa keyboard ʻo Matthew Hartley a hoʻopau i ka hana ʻana ma ka album lua o ka hui, Seventeen Seconds, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka puna o 1980.
Ua hoʻonui nui ka mea hoʻokani pila i ke kani o ka pūʻulu, i kēia manawa i ʻoi aku ka hoʻokolohua a ʻapo pinepine ʻia nā mele lohi, ʻeleʻele.
Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o Seventeen Seconds, ua hoʻomaka ka Cure i kā lākou huakaʻi honua mua. Ma hope o ka wāwae Australia o ka huakaʻi, ua haʻalele ʻo Hartley mai ka hui a ua hoʻoholo kona mau hoa hui mua e hoʻomau me ka ʻole o ia. No laila ua hoʻokuʻu ka poʻe mele i kā lākou album ʻekolu i ka makahiki 1981, ʻo "Faith", a ua hiki iā lākou ke nānā i ke ʻano o ka piʻi ʻana ma ka pakuhi i nā laina 14.
ʻO "Faith" kekahi i hoʻokumu i ka "Primary".
ʻO ka album ʻehā a ka Cure, ma ke ʻano o ka pōʻino a me ka nānā ʻana, ua kapa ʻia ʻo "Pornography". Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki 1982. ʻO ka album "Pornography" i hoʻonui i ka lehulehu o ka hui hoʻomana. Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka album, ua pau ka huakaʻi, haʻalele ʻo Gallup i ka hui a neʻe ʻo Tolgurst mai nā pahu a i nā kī. I ka hopena o ka makahiki 1982, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo The Cure i kahi mele hula hula hou, "E hele kākou i kahi moe".
Hana pū me Siouxsie a me nā Banshees
Ua hoʻohana ʻo Smith i ka hapa nui o ka makahiki 1983 me Siouxsie a me nā Banshees, e hoʻopaʻa ana i ka album Hyaena me ka hui a hoʻokani pila ma ka huakaʻi hele pū ʻana o ka album. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻokumu pū ʻo Smith i kahi hui me Siouxsie a me ka bassist Banshees ʻo Steve Severin.
Ma hope o ka lawe ʻana i ka inoa ʻo The Glove, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i kā lākou album wale nō, ʻo Blue Sunshine. Ma ka hopena o ke kauwela o 1983, he mana hou o The Cure e hōʻike ana iā Smith, Tolgurst, ka mea hoʻokani pahu Andy Anderson a me ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Phil Thornally i hoʻopaʻa i kahi mele hou, kahi mele leʻaleʻa i kapa ʻia ʻo "The Lovecats".
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke mele i ka hāʻule o 1983 a ua lilo ia i poʻokela nui loa o ka hui a hiki i kēia lā, a hiki i ka helu ʻehiku ma nā palapala kiʻi UK.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka laina hou o The Cure "The Top" i ka makahiki 1984. ʻOiai ke ʻano o ka pop, ua hoʻolei ʻia ke mele i ka leo ʻoluʻolu o ka album Pornography.
I ka huakaʻi honua e kākoʻo ana iā "The Top" ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Anderson mai ka hui. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki 1985, ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka huakaʻi, haʻalele pū ʻo Thornally i ka hui.
Ua hoʻoponopono hou ka Cure i kā lākou lineup ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana, me ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka pahu pahu ʻo Boris Williams a me ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Porl Thompson, ʻoiai ʻo Gallup i hoʻi i bass.
Ma hope mai i ka makahiki 1985, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo The Cure i kā lākou album ʻeono, The Head on the Door. ʻO ka album ka moʻolelo pōkole a kaulana loa i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e ka hui, e kōkua ana iā ia e hōʻea i ka ʻumi kiʻekiʻe ma UK a me ka helu 59 ma US. ʻO "In Between Days" a me "Close to Me" - nā mele mai "The Head on the Door" - ua lilo i mea hoʻokani Pelekane koʻikoʻi, a me nā mele lekiō ma lalo o ka honua a me nā haumāna ma USA.
Haalele o Tolgurst
Ua ukali ka Cure i ka holomua holomua o The Head on the Door i ka makahiki 1986 me ka hui ʻana ʻo Standing on a Beach: The Singles. Ua hōʻea ka album i ka helu ʻehā ma UK, akā ʻoi aku ka mea nui, ua hāʻawi ia i ke kūlana cult band ma US.
Ua piʻi ka album ma ka helu 48 a lilo i gula i loko o hoʻokahi makahiki. I ka pōkole, Standing on a Beach: The Singles set the stage for the 1987 double album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me.
He eclectic ka album akā ua lilo i moʻolelo ʻoiaʻiʻo, i hoʻokumu i ʻehā mau mele mele ma UK: "No ke aha e hiki ʻole ai iaʻu ke lilo iā ʻoe," "Catch," "Just Like Heaven," "Hot Hot Hot!!!".
Ma hope o ka huakaʻi Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, ua lohi ka hana a The Cure. Ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i ka hana ma kā lākou album hou i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki 1988, ua kipaku ka hui iā Tolgurst, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua pōʻino loa ka pilina ma waena ona a me ke koena o ka hui. E hoʻopiʻi koke ʻo Tolgurst i kahi hoʻopiʻi, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua ʻoi aku ka nui o kāna kuleana ma ka hui ma mua o ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma kāna ʻaelike a no laila ua pono ʻo ia i ke kālā hou aku.
Album hou me ka laina hou
I kēia manawa, ua hoʻololi ʻo The Cure iā Tolgurst me ka mea hoʻokani keyboard mua o Psychedelic Furs ʻo Roger O'Donnell a hoʻopaʻa i kā lākou album ʻewalu, Disintegration. Hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka pūnāwai o 1989, ua ʻoi aku ka melancholy o ka album ma mua o kona mua.
Eia naʻe, ua lilo ka hana i mea paʻa maoli, hiki i ka helu 3 ma UK a me ka helu 14 ma US. ʻO ka "Lullaby" hoʻokahi i lilo i mea pāʻani nui loa o UK ma ka pūnāwai o 1989, e piʻi ana i ka helu ʻelima.
I ka pau ʻana o ke kauwela, loaʻa i ka hui ka hoʻokuʻu kaulana loa o ʻAmelika i ka hit "Love Song". Ua neʻe kēia mea hoʻokahi i ka lua.
Makemake
I ka wā o ka huakaʻi Disintegration, ua hoʻomaka ʻo The Cure e pāʻani i nā arena ma US a me UK. I ka hāʻule o 1990 The Cure i hoʻokuʻu ʻia "Mixed Up", kahi hōʻiliʻili o nā remix e hōʻike ana i ka mea hou "Never Enough".
Ma hope o ka huakaʻi Disintegration, ua haʻalele ʻo O'Donnell i ka hui a ua pani ʻo The Cure iā ia me ko lākou kōkua, ʻo Perry Bamonte. I ka pūnāwai o 1992, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ka album Wish. E like me "Disintegration", "Wish" ua loaʻa koke ka kaulana, ka helu ʻana ma ka helu ʻekahi ma UK a me ka helu ʻelua ma US.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā mele mele "High" a me "Friday I'm in Love". Ua hoʻomaka ka Cure i kahi huakaʻi honua hou ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o "Wish". Hoʻokahi ʻaha mele i hana ʻia ma Detroit i kākau ʻia ma ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo The Show a ma ʻelua album, Show a me Paris. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me nā album i ka makahiki 1993.
Hoʻomau ka hihia
Ua haʻalele ʻo Thompson i ka hui ma 1993 e hui pū me Jimmy Page a me Robert Plant. Ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana, ua hoʻi ʻo O'Donnell i ka hui ma ke ʻano he keyboardist, ʻoiai ua hoʻololi ʻo Bamonte mai nā hana kīpē i ke kīkā.
No ka hapa nui o 1993 a me 1994 mua, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻo The Cure e kahi hoʻopiʻi hoʻomau mai Tolgurst, nāna i ʻōlelo i ke kuleana o ka inoa o ka hui a ke hoʻāʻo nei hoʻi e hoʻoponopono hou i kāna mau kuleana.
ʻO kahi hoʻoholo (kahi hoʻoholo no ka hui) i hiki mai i ka hāʻule o 1994, a ua huli ʻo The Cure i ko lākou manaʻo i ka hana i mua o lākou: e hoʻopaʻa i ka album aʻe. Akā naʻe, ua haʻalele ka mea pahu pahu ʻo Boris Williams i ka wā i mākaukau ai ka hui e hoʻomaka i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana. Ua loaʻa i ka hui kahi mea hoʻokani pila hou ma o nā hoʻolaha ma nā pepa mele Pelekane.
Ma ka pūnāwai o 1995, ua pani ʻo Jason Cooper iā Williams. I ka makahiki 1995, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo The Cure i kā lākou album studio ʻumi, hoʻomaha wale e hoʻokani i kekahi mau mele mele ʻEulopa i ke kauwela.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi album i kapa ʻia ʻo "Wild Mood Swings" i ka puna o 1996, ma mua o ka "The 13th" hoʻokahi.
ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o nā mele kaulana me ka gothic
ʻO "Wild Mood Swings", kahi hui o nā mele pop a me nā pōʻeleʻele i kū i kona poʻo inoa, ua loaʻa nā loiloi koʻikoʻi like ʻole a me nā kūʻai like ʻole.
ʻO Galore, ka lua o ka hōʻiliʻili mele a The Cure e kālele ana i nā mele a ka hui mai ka wā ʻo Standing on a Beach, i ʻike ʻia ma 1997 a hōʻike ʻia i kahi mele hou, Wrong Number.
Ua hoʻohana ka Cure i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana me ke kākau mālie ʻana i kahi mele no ka leo kani X-Files, a ʻike ʻia ʻo Robert Smith ma hope i kahi hanana poina o South Park.
Ka malie ma ka hana
Ua ʻike ʻo 2000 i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o Bloodflowers, ka hope o nā mele mele kahiko o ka hui. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ka album "Bloodflowers" a ua lanakila maikaʻi. Ua loaʻa pū ka hana i kahi koho Grammy Award no Best Alternative Music Album.
I ka makahiki aʻe, ua kau inoa ʻo The Cure i ka Fiction a ua hoʻokuʻu i ka ʻoihana-spanning Greatest Hits. Ua hele pū ʻia me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o kahi DVD o nā wikiō kaulana loa.
Ua hoʻopau ka hui i kekahi manawa ma ke alanui i ka makahiki 2002, e hoʻopau ana i kā lākou huakaʻi me kahi hōʻikeʻike ʻekolu pō ma Berlin, kahi i hana ai lākou i kēlā me kēia album o kā lākou "gothic trilogy".
Ua hopu ʻia ka hanana ma ka hoʻokuʻu wikiō home o Trilogy.
Hoʻopuka hou i nā moʻolelo i hala
Ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ka Cure i kahi kuʻikahi honua me Geffen Records ma 2003 a laila hoʻomaka i kahi hoʻolaha hoʻolaha hou o kā lākou hana "Join the Dots: B-Sides & Rarities" ma 2004. Ua hoʻopuka koke ʻia ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o kā lākou album disc ʻelua.
Ma 2004 hoʻi, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i kā lākou hana mua no Geffen, kahi album inoa ponoʻī i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ke keena.
Ua hoʻolālā ʻia kahi album ʻoi aku ka kaumaha a me ka ʻeleʻele ma mua o "Bloodflowers" e hoʻopiʻi i ka poʻe ʻōpio i kamaʻāina iā The Cure ma muli o ko lākou mana i kahi hanauna hou.
Ua hoʻololi hou ʻia ka Cure i ka makahiki 2005 i ka wā i haʻalele ai ʻo Bamonte lāua ʻo O'Donnell i ka hui a hoʻi mai ʻo Porl Thompson no ke kolu o ka manawa.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻia kēia laina papa keyboard ʻole hou i ka makahiki 2005 ma ke ʻano he poʻo ma ka ʻaha mele pōmaikaʻi ʻo Live 8 Paris ma mua o ka hele ʻana i ka ʻahaʻaina kauwela, a ua hopu ʻia nā mea koʻikoʻi ma ka hōʻiliʻili DVD 2006.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2008, ua hoʻopau ka hui i kā lākou album 13th. Ua hoʻokumu mua ʻia ka album ma ke ʻano he album pālua. Akā, ua hoʻoholo koke ʻia e hoʻokomo i nā mea pop a pau i kahi hana ʻokoʻa i kapa ʻia ʻo "4:13 Dream".
Ma hope o ʻekolu makahiki hoʻomaha, ua hoʻi ka hui i ka huakaʻi me kā lākou "Reflections" huakaʻi.
Ua hoʻomau ka hui i ka huakaʻi i ka makahiki 2012 a me 2013 me nā hōʻike ʻoliʻoli ma ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki 2014, ua hoʻolaha ʻo Smith e hoʻokuʻu ana lākou i kahi hope o "4:13 Dream" ma hope o kēlā makahiki, a me ka hoʻomau ʻana i kā lākou "Reflections" huakaʻi me kahi pūʻulu o nā hōʻike album piha.
