Perry Archangelo Bamonte (London, 3 September 1960) is an English musician and illustrator, best known as a member of the rock band The Cure from 1990 to 2005, and again since 2022.
Biography
Bamonte was born in London, England. His older brother Daryl worked as a tour manager for The Cure and Depeche Mode, and via this connection Perry joined the Cure's road crew in 1984. He eventually became the guitar tech and personal assistant for group leader Robert Smith. Already a guitarist, during this period Bamonte was taught to play piano and keyboards by Smith's sister Janet. When keyboardist Roger O'Donnell
left the Cure in 1990, Bamonte was promoted to a full member of the
band, playing both keyboards and guitar regularly, as well as six-string bass and percussion occasionally.
Bamonte's first album with the Cure was Wish in 1992, and he remained with the band for their next three albums. Due to the departure of guitarist Porl Thompson
and the return of Roger O'Donnell during this period, Bamonte's duties
for the band shifted to a stronger focus on guitar and less on
keyboards. In 2005, Bamonte and O'Donnell were dismissed by Smith, who reportedly wanted to reinvent the band as a three-piece.
Despite the abrupt dismissal and the lack of an official statement
describing the reason, Bamonte and Smith remained on amicable terms.
Bamonte kept a low profile for several years, devoting his time to fly fishing and a career as an illustrator. He continues to contribute content and illustrations for the magazine Fly Culture. In 2012 he joined the supergroup Love Amongst Ruin as bassist and appeared on their 2015 album Lose Your Way. In 2019, Bamonte joined fellow members of the Cure, past and present, for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In a move that had not been previously announced, Bamonte rejoined the
Cure in 2022 for the first performance of their extensive Lost World
Tour, and has remained with the band since.
After recording four albums with the band, he announced his
departure from Panic! on April 2, 2015 via the band's official website,
citing a need to settle his drug issues. As of February 7, 2018, Smith works as an official manager and talent finder at DCD2 Records.

In addition to composing music and writing lyrics for Depeche Mode
songs, he has also been lead vocalist on several, and usually solo (some
examples are, "Somebody", "A Question of Lust" and "Home"), as evidenced by most of the Depeche Mode concerts, and has been a backing vocalist on many others.
In 1999 he received the Ivor Novello Award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors
for "International Achievement", the Moog Innovation Award "for his
many contributions to the exploration of sound in popular music" in
2019, and became a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member in late 2020 with
fellow Depeche Mode members, Andrew Fletcher and Dave Gahan.
John Anthony Gillis (Detroit, 9 de julho de 1975), também conhecido como Jack White, Jack III White ou Jack White III é um músico, cantor e produtor musical de rock vencedor de três Grammy Awards. Foi considerado o 70º melhor guitarrista de todos os tempos pela revista norte-americana Rolling Stone. Em 2001 fundou a sua própria gravadora de discos, a Third Man Records.
Com ascendentes polacos, escoceses e canadianos,
John Anthony Gillis, filho de Teresa e Gorman Gillis, era o mais
novo de dez filhos (seis irmãos e três irmãs) vivendo num bairro de
classe média-baixa em Detroit, Michigan, numa família católica. O pai e a mãe dele trabalhavam na Arquidiocese de Detroit,
como superintendente de manutenção do prédio e secretária no
escritório do Cardeal, respetivamente. White eventualmente tornou -se
menino de coro, o que acabou dando-lhe um papel no filme de 1987, O
Mistério do Rosário Negro (The Rosary Murders), principalmente filmado
na paróquia Holy Redeemer, no sudoeste de Detroit. White, em criança, era fã de música clássica. Ele frequentou a Cass Technical High School em Detroit.
Ele começou a tocar um instrumento, bateria, aos seis anos. Quando adolescente, White já escutava blues e rock dos anos 60 que iriam influencia-lo bastante nos The White Stripes, sendo Son House e Blind Willie McTell
os seus músicos favoritos de blues. Ele e seu amigo de infância,
Dominic Suchyta, escutavam álbuns no sótão de White nos fins de semana e
começaram a gravar covers num gravador de rolo.
White era descrito, nesse tempo, sendo "um rapaz com cabelo curto e
suspensórios". Ele já mencionou em várias entrevistas que a música
"Grinnin' In Your Face", de Son House, é sua música favorita de todos os
tempos.
Em 2005, no programa 60 Minutes, White disse para Mike Wallace que a sua vida poderia ter sido diferente. "Eu seria aceite num seminário em Wisconsin,
e eu iria tornar-me padre, mas no último segundo eu pensei, 'eu vou
para uma escola pública.' Eu tinha acabado de comprar um novo
amplificador e eu não sabia se eu podia leva-lo para o seminário." Aos
15 anos, White começou um programa de aprendizagem de estufagem com um
amigo da família, Brian Muldoon. White credita Muldoon, expondo-o ao punk rock, tocando com Muldoon como uma banda: "Muldoon tocava bateria, então eu tinha que tocar guitarra." Eles gravaram um álbum, Makers of High Grade Suites, como The Upholsterers. White começou um negócio sozinho, Third Man Upholstery.
O slogan do seu negócio era "A sua mobília não está morta" e a mistura
de cores era amarelo e preto - incluindo uma carrinha amarela, um
uniforme amarelo e preto e uma prancheta amarela. Embora à Third Man Upholstery
nunca faltasse trabalho, White disse que era não lucrativo, por causa
da sua complacência sobre dinheiro e as suas práticas, que eram
consideradas pouco profissionais, inclusive fazer as contas com lápis e
escrever poesia no interior do mobiliário. Não muito depois, White
teve o seu primeiro show profissional, como baterista da banda de
Detroit Goober & The Peas. Ele também tocou em outras bandas locais e fez shows sozinho.
Inovou ao criar a banda Morphine, que fazia uma fusão vitoriosa de rock e jazz. Formada apenas por baixo, sax e bateria, além da intervenção eventual de alguns outros instrumentos, a música do grupo servia de base para que Sandman, com sua voz aveludada, cantasse as suas belas poesias.
