Former The Cure member Lol Tolhurst, former Siouxsie And The Banshees
drummer Budgie, and Irish producer Jacknife Lee got together for last
year’s striking album Los Angeles featuring several guest vocalists.

Tolhurst and Budgie went out this year to promote the LP. Last June they stopped
at the KEXP studios in Seattle. Along with bassist Liam Hayden they played a short
set, including The Cure‘s 1980 classic A Forest which Tolhurst has a songwriting
credit for. A couple of days ago footage of that moment was put online. No idea
who the female voice is.
