THE CURE,"UN REMÈDE" GOTHIQUE ANGLAIS «Boys Don't Cry» par The Cure https://youtu.be/9GkVhgIeGJQ The Cure est un groupe de rock formĂ© en 1976 Ă  Crawley, Angleterre. En 1973, Robert Smith alors ĂągĂ© de 13 ans, monte un groupe avec des camarades de son collĂšge simplement appelĂ© 'The Group' puisqu’il est le seul de l’école.

En janvier 1976, Robert Smith et Marc Ceccagno aux guitares et Michael Dempsey dĂ©sormais bassiste forment un nouveau projet, Malice qui l’annĂ©e suivante deviendra Easy Cure. AprĂšs plusieurs changements, la formation se stabilise en un trio composĂ© de Robert Smith au chant et Ă  la guitare, parolier et principal compositeur, Michael Dempsey Ă  la basse, Lol Tolhurst Ă  la batterie, et adopte dĂ©finitivement le nom de The Cure. www.facebook.com/groups/1466860133344387/ Leur premier album 'Three Imaginary Boys' est sorti en 1979. Le groupe changera souvent de configuration, depuis mai 2012, il est composĂ© de Robert Smith (chant/guitare), Roger O'Donnell (claviers), Reeves Gabrels (guitare),Simon Gallup (basse) et Jason Cooper (batterie). #SingSangSung https://www.instagram.com/p/CTg6aKfsVrk/?utm_medium=tumblr

He then went to Notre Dame Middle School between 1970 and 1972, where he met Robert Smith, Marc Ceccagno and Lol Tolhurst. Here they first played music together as The Obelisk in April 1972, giving an end-of-year performance for their classmates. Although he is ordinarily known as a bass guitar player, Dempsey played guitar for The Obelisk’s only known live performance, whereas one Alan Hill played bass.

In January 1976 Dempsey became a co-founding member of Malice, along with Smith, Ceccagno, and others. The band also later featured Laurence Tolhurst, and Porl Thompson. They played only a few live shows in December of that same year.
In 1977 Dempsey, Tolhurst, Smith and Thompson formed Easy Cure, who became known as The Cure following Thompson’s departure in April 1978. Dempsey appeared as bassist on The Cure’s singles “Killing an Arab” (1978) and “Boys Don’t Cry” (1979) and on the 1979 album Three Imaginary Boys. Other than frontman Smith, Dempsey had the distinction of being the only other member of The Cure (besides Simon Gallup on the unreleased demo, “Violin Song”) to sing lead vocals. He sang the cover version of the Jimi Hendrix song “Foxy Lady”, which appears on Three Imaginary Boys. He made his final live performance as a member of The Cure on 15 October 1979 at London‘s Hammersmith Odeon on the last night of The Cure’s tour in support of Siouxsie and the Banshees. In November of that year, however, the singles “Jumping Someone Else’s Train” by The Cure and “I’m a Cult Hero” / “I Dig You” by Cure side-project Cult Hero were also released with Dempsey performing, respectively, bass and keyboards. The Cure's Three Imaginary Boys album and singles from 1978–1979 featuring Dempsey were later repackaged for the US market as the Boys Don’t Cry album in 1980, and he appears on the band’s early Peel Sessionsbetween 1978 and 1979.
