The seed of every worthwhile British band of the past 15 years has sprung from the Bunnymen, whose Ian McCulloch, the epitome of cool, puffed cigs through the band's set, in finest form on beauties like "Bring on the Dancing Horses," "Cutter" and "Seven Seas." Still don't get the Violent Femmes, but it only took one word - "Daaaaaay," sung straight through the nose - from singer Gordon Gano to get the blisters in the sun to rise and shine. Not as bright was Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon, too preoccupied with his malfunctioning mike to give us full attention. But thanks for the "Careless Memories" video montage, and for having a real saxophonist play on "Rio." Riding the newer new wave were the catchy carnival keyboards of Hot Hot Heat and the nervy paranoia of Interpol's guitar, as penetrating as singer Paul Banks' cold, unblinking stare. Once the mild winds kicked in, so did closers the Cure. Starting with the drip-drip-drip of "10:15 Saturday Night," they proved they should get more credit for their bass inventions ("A Forest," "Primary") and for Robert Smith's lyric romanticism ("Pictures of You"). For every boy who does cry and every girl with China-doll bangs and a parasol, Smith has been there since 1979. And so has that tumbleweed for hair. Loyalty and longevity, though, are virtues that elude KROQ. While introducing the Cure, DJ Jed the Fish thanked the audience for supporting this kind of music. Too bad we can't say the same for his boss.
