THE CUREHEADS
The Original LIVE Tribute to The CURE

The Cure

are one of the biggest musical exports that Great Britain has ever had. Selling over 20 million albums world-wide the lead singer, Robert Smith, has become one of the world's most recognisable icons of the music industry. The cult status of The Cure has projected Robert Smith to appear as a character in South Park as well as alongside comedians Rob Newman & David Baddiel in the award winning show The Mary Whitehouse experience.

In 1990 The Cure were presented the best band award at the Britts awards by The Who's Roger Daltry. The year 2000 saw The Cure's album, Blood Flowers, nominated for a Grammy award proving the relevance that The Cure still holds after nearly 25 years at the top of the pile.

The CUREheads are, by far, the leading tribute to The Cure in the world today paying tribute to the music, fashion and performing style of The Cure since 1990. With live performances by The Cure an all too rare event recently, The CUREheads find themselves in higher demand than ever before.

The CUREheads perform music that spans from the beginning of The Cure's career right through to the latest releases, including internet only releases. Virtually everyone has owned an album or single by The Cure at some point and are familiar with The Cure's moody lyrical style & fantastic video production.

The CUREheads attempt, with great pains, to recreate the atmosphere of concerts given by The Cure. Over the last 10 years The CUREheads have gradually tapped into what gives The Cure their distinctive sound and atmosphere onstage and, in doing so, they have created the next best experience to actually seeing and hearing The Cure play live onstage.

The CUREheads have toured extensively playing to sold out audiences in the UK as well as Spain, Turkey, Holland, the USA and Ireland. Their website, set up in September 2000, has had over 1,000,000 hits and has accumulated a large gorup of members that have signed up to The CUREhead's chat-room. Further, they hold and maintain a mailing list of over 5000 people in Europe & the US who have asked to be notified of The CURErehead's forthcoming appearances.

Plans for 2006 include a tour of the USA, Spain, Holland and the UK playing concerts with a fully choreographed light and video show. If you are interested in booking a date, please visit the website or booking contact email listed below.
