The Cureheads

The Cureheads are the longest-running and the most known tribute band dedicated to The Cure. They recreate The Cure’s live sound and visual style in performance. Background The Cureheads were formed in 1990 in London, England by Gary Clarke, then lead singer of Nosferatu and later vocalist of The Hiram Key. The Cureheads name is taken from the Irish slang term for anyone with the "1980s mop-haired 'Gothic' look". They were originally known as "Fat Bob & The Cureheads" until 2000. The name change was suggested by Ita Martin of Fiction Records to avoid offending The Cure.
