Is there any chance of an episode dedicated to John McGeoch?

I may be biased because Lol and Budgie are somewhat heroes of mine. Drummers that have inspired me and that I have imitated more times than I can count. But the most important part is not how great these two musicians were. Instead, in this podcast, both gentleman candidly give us an insight...Read full review »

would be good

Is it bad that this turned out to be a great trauma and addiction recovery podcast for me? The hosts’ recollections and discussions with fellow artists are sometimes very funny, sometimes unexpectedly moving, and usually relatable and insightful about development, relationships and...Read full review »

Wow. Two of the most influential artists from the punk/post punk era making one of the best music related podcasts ever. I met Budgie back in 81 during the Juju tour and he was an absolute gentleman back then, so good to hear he’s still the same. And Lol - legend ! Thanks for all the remarkable...Read full review »

Such a wonderful "fly on the wall" perspective of two of my favorite bands. I just wish they had more guests from around their time not contemporary artists (Justin excluded). No one who loves Budgie and Lol cares about LCD sound system, in fact they generally strongly dislike, if not...Read full review »

Great guests & amazing hosts. Love it.
thrashingtiger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/23
Yes, Lol and Budgie talk to some amazing friends and characters who harken back to their earliest days in music and life but all these people are still creating and producing, today. They also have many guests who they are “meeting” for the first time on the podcast and who are only recently...Read full review »

I didn’t know about the podcast, found it via Miki Berenyi! I love that Budgie & Lol give us a proper back-&-forth conversation, not a standard question/answer interview! I love following the tangents, and hearing the human stories behind the music. Budgie & Lol’s warmth - which might...Read full review »

I HATE THIS SO MUCH! Lol and Budgie are great, of course. I could listen to them all day. BUT: the stupid sound designer has started adding background noise all over the place. Yes, background noise WHILE people are talking! What for? It’s distracting. It’s unnecessary. And disrespectful to the...Read full review »

What I love most about this show is the interesting guests they have on. The guys seen to have a connection with everyone they interview and it really shows. Lots of fun stories you wouldn’t hear anywhere else.

I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon Curious Creatures! Who knew Lol and Budgie could could be so interesting! Ha! It certainly helps that I’m a huge Cure and Siouxsie/Creatures fan BUT wow! I’m addicted! Both Lol and Budgie are so entertaining! And of course, I love to hear about the...Read full review »

Interesting thoughts and background information. Reminds of getting kicked out during a soundcheck in Düsseldorf, because the banshees (or souxsie) did not want anyone around watching…so sad 😎
DerGrabolny via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 10/14/22
I started listening to Curious Creatures to hear Cure and Banshees stories I hadn’t heard before, but in a very short period of time I realized this show is about so much more. It’s about dreams, betrayal, heartbreak, self-reflection and renewal. This Podcast is as cathartic as it is informative....Read full review »

Thanks for delivering some very honest and candid content. I’ve always loved The Cure and the Banshees ever since I was a preteen and I was delighted to find this awesome podcast! I now have some first hand insight into the driving forces behind my childhood soundtrack and it’s both fresh and...Read full review »

Just an amazing podcast. Fascinating hearing about the behind the scenes stories of the music that means so much.
Watchmen Studios via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/21/22
I found this podcast and binged the entire library. I grew up listening to the Ramones and UK Punk, the Pistols and Clash etc and transitioned in to the post punk and beyond. I love the stores and interviews on this podcast and am fan of Budgie and Lol’s bands, thank you for finding a new way...Read full review »

Wonderful hearing two people from two of the greatest bands ever, discuss their work etc., especially giving insights into album’s I coveted and introduced to so many others, making me sink into the memories of their concerts, the excitement of rushing into Manchester on the release date of new...Read full review »

They have thoughtful conversations & their genuine admiration for guests & each other is a gift to listen to.

Great pod!!
mylove7969 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/22
As a long-time fan of the Cure and the Banshees, I was excited to find this but it turns out to be something more than I expected. It has all the stories and insight you’d want, while also letting us witness the best moments of a budding best-friendship. Feels good man. Highly recommended.

I am absolutely awestruck by this new pod, so grateful I finally found it. As a teenager in the mid-80’s I love hearing from those who performed the sounds of my youth. Looking back is always fun, but even more so when you aren’t so full of teen angst and can listen to the stories told in a raw...Read full review »

Lifelong pals and post punk icons Budgie & Lol reminisce and have occasional guests from the alt-rock scenes. As an admirer of Budgie’s various projects spanning numerous genres, I am looking forward to hearing his experiences in the different scenes. Lol and Budgie have a great rapport and...Read full review »

As a angst teen, the Cure, the Creatures and Siouxsie and the Banshees just spoke to me. I felt like a stalker wanting to know everything about them, and simply idolized these bands. Now with Lol and Budgie with this amazing podcast, I feel like I’m in their personal sewing circle, listening to...Read full review »

Best podcast out. Highlight of my week! Loving all the Cure and Banshee stories
Jakeee' via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/04/21
Fascinating listening to the views on the religion I was brought up in. But from the English perspective. I’m Irish and Catholicism is way more different.
crazycat68 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/28/21
My enjoyment from this podcast is huge. It speaks to my teen/early 20s years as a goth/punk kid. It gets the nostalgia going. Adore it.

Really interesting and funny show
co1080 via Apple Podcasts · Taiwan · 10/14/21
Nice to hear from these gentlemen, so many memories. Hope Steve Severin and Simon Gallup get invited as well as Natasha Khan and Billy Corgan.
ThomasJeromeNewton via Apple Podcasts · Chile · 10/10/21
Break out your old goth lunchbox! It’s on. Lol Tolhurst from The Cure and Budgie from Siousxsie & The Banchees. I was an 80’s/90’s goth. This is perfect. Love the first episode. Both Lol and Budgie make a great team. They really compliment each other. Even if you didn’t own a trench...Read full review »
