Tonight a couple of us are going to watch The Cure Troxy gig at the cinema, so probably the right time to wheel out this story…

Back in 2024 when @thecure announced their Troxy gig we all wanted tickets but predictably it sold out before we could get any. Then one day an email arrived in our inbox “Robert Smith would like to invite Desperate Journalist to the gig…”. Pretty amazing since we had no idea he had even heard of us. Simon and Caz met him at the aftershow drinks and he said he’d been listening to No Hero a lot and that’s why he invited us. 😮 Also he had apparently been watching live videos of us on YouTube!
What a nice thing to invite us like that. As if you needed any more proof that the man is a legend! 😉
Looking forward to watching the gig again. x by @desperatejournalist

Happy 2nd birthday to this toddler of an album, No Hero.
2 years ago i said something about it being our 'best album', which is clearly wrong. You know where i'm heading with this...
