Also, Los Angeles Venue Announced

The Cure is back. Not only will the British band's new singles album, Galore, be released Oct. 28 on Elektra, as well as a video collection of the same name, due Nov. 11, but the band will also have one of their few small club shows cybercast to fans all over the world via Rocktropolis.

Rocktropolis (www.rocktropolis.com) will air a live cybercast of the band's Halloween show at Irving Plaza in New York -- their first club show in 10 years -- and the show will also be syndicated to rock radio stations via the Album Network. The other scheduled club date is at the American Legion Hall in Los Angeles on Oct. 28, and the band will also make their first performance ever on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Oct. 29.

As if that's not enough, Cure leader Robert Smith already has about six songs penned for the band's next album -- of new material -- due tentatively in the spring, with a full tour to follow in the summer. He's also weeding through about three CDs worth of material for a B-sides collection, which may be released as early as the first of the year.
