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. 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.
Famous quotes containing the words fools and/or dance:
“Others have been made fools of by the girls; but, this can never be with truth said of me. I most emphatically, in this instance, made a fool of myself.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“The author’s conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
