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:
“Mine honesty and I begin to square.
The loyalty well held to fools does make
Our faith mere folly; yet he that can endure
To follow with allegiance a fall’n lord
Does conquer him that did his master conquer
And earns a place i’ the story.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I could dance yet—only had a good fiddle—I like music. A good fiddle always starts the Negro, even if he’s old.”
—Sylvia Dubois (1788?–1889)
