Babacar was a short-lived rock supergroup formed in England, featuring former members of Shelleyan Orphan, the Cure, and Presence.[1] The group released a self-titled album in 1998.[2]
History
Before forming Babacar, vocalist Caroline Crawley was a member of Shelleyan Orphan until their breakup in 1993.[1][3] Several other members had associations with The Cure. Drummer Boris Williams (longtime partner of Crawley) was the Cure's drummer until 1994.[4] Bassist Roberto Soave had occasionally filled in for Cure bassist Simon Gallup.[5] Soave and guitarist Rob Steen had previously been members of Presence which had been founded by another former member of the Cure, Lol Tolhurst.[6] Soave and Williams had also collaborated with Shelleyan Orphan.[5]
The band released their self-titled debut album in 1998. The album included a guest appearance by another former Cure member, Porl Thompson.[7] Another member of Shelleyan Orphan, guitarist Jemaur Tayle, later joined the band but had not played on the album.[7] The band dissolved in 2000.[8]
