About Curiosity killed the cat
British pop band formed in 1984 by Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot (vocals), Julian Godfrey Brookhouse (guitar), Nicholas Bernard Thorp (bass), Michael Drummond (drums). Toby Anderson was keyboardist and fifth songwriter for the entire first No 1 album 'Keep Your Distance'.
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.
"Misfit" was first released in July 1986, but it was not successful that year.
In early 1987, "Down to Earth" became a Top Ten hit in the U.K.
In 1989 the group shortened their name to .
Thorp left the band around 1991 due to family commitments.
The remaining three members went on to sign with BMG records and produced a number of singles and 1 album 'Back to Front'. BMG Album released only in Europe and japan.
1992's "Hang On in There Baby" peaked at number three on the British charts, and the band disappeared from the music scene until singer Volpeliere joined the 80s nostalgia ''Here and Now'' tour in 2001.

Me había olvidado de esta canción.. ....temazo!!!
Siempre presente ?
Grazie mille
Yess its back, thx.
Hey , how yer doin !? ! Thanks for posting this video clip ( the right way round ) I keep finding it backwards !!! Yes , actually De La Soul happened to hear this song while in Europe doin promotions - they returned state side , and decided they wanted to use it for a basis to a new jam that turned out to be “ring ring ring” ..... there you have it ~ WHAT AN HONOUR FOR CKTC, HUH!
que guapos y que talentosos eran estos chicos
Why and how is this not on Spotify!! I mean cmon !!! Love this track so much
I was so childish and naive in the late 80s that I never care about music...But now thanks to you tube I can enjoy this gems..Greetings from Colombia south America..
I had such a crush on the lead singer , really takes me back to good times
Sjajna pesma, i danas zvuči prefinjeno i moderno.
I remember this song!!
De la soul rang and left a song!
One of my favourite CKTC songs.
Ben the lead singer here was on the First Dates program tonight. The sexy woman he matched with happened to be a fan of the band and was really surprised that it was him, called her mum to tell her too. Despite her former adoration for him, she friend zoned him on the show, and Ben also admitted that he was really shy with women, never asked them out.
It goes to show that despite the talent, fame and all the girls you could wish for, insecurity is still a barrier.

Underrated group in my opinion. Made some good songs in the late 80s, but didn’t last that long.
I always thought that singer looked like he was about to nod off
Gran banda poco valorada. Y esta cancion es una gema
It's always sad to hear the truths about the music ? industry signing artists then putting them to work their music all over the world then once they start making money they find a way how to squeeze every penny outta them for reasons unknown it's just business like no one's business like Curiosity killed the cat the music industry literally did kill the cat.
Curiosity killed the cat ? had at least one lad in every area possible in the uk looking and dressing the same way like the lead singer did from head to toe you'd think it was him until you asked them to dance ? because when it came to that they just couldn't quite get it right and as we know now my man's dance was a one off dance that still hasn't been matched to this day and never will be and if you're asking yourself why well that's Curiosity for ya ?
