Curiosity is a quirky, dark female-fronted synth project from Chicago. Curi is a multi-talented independent artist who writes, sings, performs and produces all of her own material. She seamlessly incorporates gothic Victorian themes, frilly dresses and Japanese influences into a dark electronic cabaret style to create a beautifully designed Broadway musical horror movie.
Combining influences that range from showtunes to Stromkern, the phrase Gothic Lolita Industrial Jazz Music was coined to describe the Curiosity look and sound. Curi creates her own style of moody, hard hitting piano-centered digital synth music layered with heavy guitars, underneath her trademark feisty vocal stylings. She yields a bizarre combination of Industrial sounds, synthpop-esque beats, and jazz-style arrangements.
Curiosity dresses in the poofy, lace-covered Japanese Gothic Lolita style of Harajuku street fashion. She speaks fluent Japanese, with some of her songs containing Japanese lyrics intertwined with English.
Curiosity released her first full-length album The Forced Magician independently in 2002. Dark Realms Magazine called it "a solid debut release of original alternative music that leans toward the darkside." Marcus Pan of Legends Magazine stated that "The Forced Magician is sure as fuck different, biting and fun."
In 2007 Curiosity embarked on a two month tour throughout the East Coast. The live shows were supported by performance artist ToyBox Theatre, who was onstage alongside Curiosity play-acting with puppetry and elaborate costumes.
The current Curiosity live show lineup consists of Curi performing solo on vocals and keyboards. Curiosity played twelve gigs in and around Tokyo in January of 2009, accompanied by ex-bandmember and deserter Noël Heresy (who allegedly deleted the original Curiosity MySpace page as a weak attempt at mean-spirited retaliation). That same month, Curiosity opened for Voltaire at the Abbey Pub in Chicago. She is currently working on recording her next album.

"She has a big, smoky, whisky-sharp voice: like Tom Waits if he were an angry 24-year-old woman preoccupied with Doom and Hate. Her best songs, like "Exist" and "Play With Us," are just apocalyptic, all crunch and yell and bad love and wrong romance. She's just gotten back from a trip to rural Japan -- she speaks the language -- with a sword fixation. This doesn't bode well for anyone."
- Warren Ellis
"When I was abducted by aliens to be anally probed, this was the sort of music I wish
the greys had on their spaceship."
- Ben Templesmith
"Curiosity plays with keys and notes, sprinkling in some jazz undertones for an uncommon sound that breaks with convention and smashes all the rules."
- Phosphorescence Magazine
"A mixture of equal parts venom, inspiration and power, Curiosity is creating a musical tangent unto itself that speaks with a force and resonance that cannot be denied."
- Flabby Hoffman
"I had to take [The Forced Magician] over to my friends as we played Mortal Kombat Tetris style and had to have it on rotation. BUY THIS CD I COMMAND YOU."
- Laura Encarnado,glittergrrrrls.com
"Dark, nerve-jangly, with gothic, visual lyrics and a sharp-machine-made sense of rhythm. Her voice is powerful...It's very theatrical stuff and it's out to kick your ass."
- Pop Culture Chaos
This is from that time I was on the show Total Drama Island.
Odd Subject, no? Okay your right I am selling something - I am selling the chance to see what only Capt. Kirk has seen before, Green Alien Boobs. Come on, Who doesn't want to see that. This show will blow your mind right apart, and all you have to do is lay down the Tetris controller on the 19th and come on out. So come on, do it. . . for the children. Well the children who want to make a feature film and are using this as a fund raising type deal :D
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror no3vel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:
“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.” —Famous Monsters of Filmland
“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
