1986) They appeared out of nowhere, as if they were transported from a
parallel universe wherein blue-eyed soul was seen as rock & roll's
salvation in the late 80s. Likeminded groups like Johnny Hates Jazz,
Waterfront, Living in a Box, and Curiosity
Killed the Cat all debuted and disappeared at the same time. Of the
four Curiosity Killed the Cat leaned more towards the teen girl
population that hung "Smash Hits" posters on their bedroom walls. The
band's lightweight funk and photogenic looks rewarded them with
mainstream acceptance in their native England but America didn't budge.
Curiosity Killed the Cat was formed in 1984 by Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot
(vocals), Julian Godfrey Brookhouse (guitar), Nicholas Bernard Throp
(bass), Michael Drummond (drums), and Toby Anderson (keyboards). While
in art school Volpeliere-Pierrot met Throp, who was then in a post-punk
group called Twilight Children with the other future members of
Curiosity Killed the Cat. After inviting him to sing Volpeliere-Pierrot
became the band's new lead singer. They recorded a track entitled
"Curiosity Killed the Cat" which caught the interest of businessman
Peter Rosengard, who eventually renamed the band after their song and
became their manager. In 1985, Curiosity Killed the Cat was signed to
Phonogram, and the group began making their first LP. However, producers
Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare were taken off the project, replaced
by Stewart Levine; as a result, the album was delayed for nearly a year.
The toe-tapping single "Misfit" was released in July 1986, but it was
not successful. The band gained much attention after Andy Warhol became a
fan; he even did a cameo for the "Misfit" video. In early 1987 "Down to
Earth" became a Top-10 hit in the U.K. Two years later the group
shortened their appellation to Curiosity. 1992's "Hang On In There Baby"
peaked at No. 3 on the British charts, and the band disappeared from
the music scene until they joined the 80s nostalgia Here and Now tour in
2001. ~ Michael Sutton, All Music Guide
