| | Curiosa in Tampa, Florida (July 25th, 2004) |
 | | The Curiosa Festival rolled into Tampa on Sunday, proving there are still plenty of fans of moody goth rock, a sound popularized in the early 1980s by British headliners the Cure, and now an influence on other contemporary bands on the show's bill. |
 | | Dubbed Curiosa, the two- stage, festival-style tour was designed by Cure leader Robert Smith to showcase some of his favorite young bands, as well as allow those bands to pay homage to the headline act, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. |
 | | TAMPA -- All afternoon at Curiosa, opening bands at the summer's most highly anticipated festival tour paid homage to the Cure -- and not with obligatory award-show phoniness. |
