Upon leaving The Cure, Dempsey became the bassist for Scotland’s Associates, who (like The Cure) were signed to Fiction Records. He had already performed with Associates prior to leaving The Cure, but made his debut as their new full-time bassist on 16 November 1979 at Eric’s Club in Liverpool; the first night of the Future Pastimes Tour; a “Fiction Records Package” tour featuring The Cure, The Passions and Associates. He remained Associates’ bassist from 1979 to 1983, appearing on the albums Fourth Drawer Down (1981) and Sulk (1982) along with a number of singles between 1980 and 1983. He also performed with the group on a series of radio sessions recorded for Radio 1’s John Peel and David Jensen shows, which were later released in 2003 as the album Radio 1 Sessions Volume 1; 1981–83.
In 1977 Dempsey, Tolhurst, Smith and Thompson formed Easy Cure, who became known as The Cure following Thompson’s departure in April 1978. Dempsey appeared as bassist on The Cure’s singles “Killing an Arab” (1978) and “Boys Don’t Cry” (1979) and on the 1979 album Three Imaginary Boys. Other than frontman Smith, Dempsey had the distinction of being the only other member of The Cure (besides Simon Gallup on the unreleased demo, “Violin Song”) to sing lead vocals. He sang the cover version of the Jimi Hendrix song “Foxy Lady”, which appears on Three Imaginary Boys. He made his final live performance as a member of The Cure on 15 October 1979 at London’s Hammersmith Odeon on the last night of The Cure’s tour in support of Siouxsie and the Banshees.

The Cure’s Three Imaginary Boys album and singles from 1978–1979 featuring Dempsey were later repackaged for the US market as the Boys Don’t Cry album in 1980, and he appears on the band’s early Peel Sessions between 1978 and 1979.
