Lol Tolhurst in conversation with Sopitas

Gothic pride

 
Querétaro 2025, 

In his most recent book, Goth, the legendary founding member of The Cure, Lol Tolhurst (United Kingdom) returns to his origins: the music scene of the late 70s and early 80s, years when new bands were arriving: Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Joy Division and, of course, The Cure. This work records the channelling of a force that goes beyond music: a community, a feeling of belonging, and something that meant the shadows and darkness –and those basslines– became a light that drew people together.
