Gray Tolhurst, Son of Drummer from The Cure, Founded His Band Topographies While Attending SF State

SF WEEKLY -- A native of Los Angeles, Tolhurst moved to San Francisco seven years ago to attend grad school at San Francisco State University, quickly immersing himself in the Bay Area’s creative scene. He started playing part-time in an indie-folk band called Gentle Spirit, where he met guitarist Jérémie Rüest. During a tour stop at the Treefort Music Festival in Idaho, the two bonded over their mutual love of many bands at the event, and decided to collaborate on a musical endeavor together.
