Fools Dance
Template:Infobox musical artist 2 Fools Dance was a short-lived British rock band formed by Simon Gallup after he left The Cure due to a conflict with Robert Smith in 1982.[1] Although Fools Dance recorded a fair number of songs and played a fair number of gigs in their brief existence, they never released a full-length album. The only material they ever released were two EPs; their self-titled EP and They'll Never Know.
The band dissolved shortly after Gallup reconciled with Robert Smith and rejoined The Cure in 1985. However, there are currently at least two web pages for Fools Dance on MySpace.[2] <ref>[3] "2nd MySpace" 7 September 2007
