TIMELINE

  • The CureThe Cure emerged in the late 1970s with frontman Robert Smith (vocals, guitar), Michael Dempsey (bass), and Laurence "Lol" Tolhurst (drums) - originally calling themselves 'Easy Cure.' Only Smith has made it as a Cure member into the 1990s. Yet, through all the band configurations, the music has remained impressive and the Cure have made alternative history. Since the conception of the Cure, many bands have come and gone claiming to be the best representative of modern rock music. Only the Cure have maintained a consistent edge, never forgetting their alternative roots or their title, "godfathers of goth." But Smith says the band isn't goth: "The goth scene has never been a part of the Cure. There are no photos of the Cure as a goth group, with crucifixes and face paint. It's a media myth, and if you ask anybody in the goth scene, they'll tell you we're not a goth band. It's pure laziness on the media's part to lump us in with other bands that have that look" (1997). Today, the Cure consists of Robert Smith on vocals, guitars and keyboards, Simon Gallup on bass, Perry Bamonte on guitars and keyboards, Jason Cooper on drums, and Roger O'Donnell on keyboards.
  • Robert Smith began his musical journey in the early 70s when he received a guitar for Christmas and began playing cover tunes with his friends, Lawrence Tolhurst and Michael Dempsey. The trio originally called themselves the 'Obelisks' and then 'Malice' after a few years.

1977...

  • Robert Smith of The Cure The name 'Easy Cure' was used and Smith shortened the name to the Cure because the original name sounded too "hippyish and American west coast."

I think there's only a couple of times ever in an artist's career where you reach a point where you think, 'That's perfect. I couldn't do that any better.' Disintegration is one of those albums."
