During their teenage years in England, Tolhurst, Dempsey and Robert Smith played under a few different names before deciding on The Cure, named after a song Tolhurst wrote.

The trio recorded the masterpiece album "Boys Don't Cry" (spawning "Killing an Arab", "Jumping Someone Else's Train", "Fire In Cairo"), wildly popular in the alternative music community.

After Dempsey left to play with other big acts like Roxy Music, Tolhurst and Smith forged on to co-write many more of the band's hits ( "Let's Go To Bed, "The Walk", "The Caterpillar ") and the genius album "Pornography," putting them at superstar status still in heavy rotation on both alternative and mainstream radio airwaves to this day.

Tolhurst has relocated to Los Angeles; Dempsey is visiting Southern California from London to collaborate with his former bandmate.

Both will be setting the record straight on back stories not often told including the disarming of the original members, during their exclusive and extremely rare on-camera, three-part interview that they chose to allow the "Focus in the Mix with Denise Ames" TV show host conduct.

Very rare early photos of the band, obscure recordings as well as new material with other music groups will all be included, along with their plans for the near future (Smith and Tolhurst are communicating again, much to the delight of the millions of Cure fans out there).

"Focus in the Mix with Denise Ames" is a weekly TV series featuring in-depth on-camera celebrity interviews and a news desk highlighting exciting entertainment and community stories throughout Los Angeles County.

The show airs on Charter and Time Warner cable systems in the Burbank Media District and all surrounding areas, and on Globe Cast World TV satellite system throughout North America to more than five million subscribers.

The show is coming soon to Charter's Video On Demand.
