Fools Dance was a short-lived British rock band, formed in 1982 by Simon Gallup after he left The Cure due to a conflict with Robert Smith.[1] Initially calling themselves The Cry, the band played their first gig at the Covent Garden Rock Garden on 19 April 1983. Although Fools Dance recorded a number of songs and played a number of gigs in their brief existence, they never released a full-length album. The only material they ever released were two EPs; a self-titled EP and They'll Never Know.
The band dissolved shortly after Gallup reconciled with Smith and rejoined The Cure in 1985. However, a Fools Dance Myspace page was put up in August 2006.
