Curio, a musical brew, a tin of circus meat, dedicated to entertainment and keeping you guessing, putting the audience on the backfoot to get it on the goodfoot. Comprising creatures great and small, members young and old, from the silly to the serious, the definition of the word curio being 'a rare or unusual object' lends itself to a description of its members as well as their music. Songwriter, co-vocalist and lead guitarist Milo Holmes lists his interests as The Artist Currently Known as Prince, cold blocks of cheddar cheese, fresh cups of tea, his children and his dog Bruno. Second guitarist and genuine English oaf Jim Cock spoke about himself when prompted but unfortunately no good sense could be made from his native mumble and bombastic pomposity, we believe him better to be seen and not herd. Bass player and co-vox Al credits his musical ambitions to happy atoms and hopes one day to dissolve himself and become one with everything. Gaz Mash became a lead singer after giving up hope of ever being able to play a conventional instrument, he spends his time in a taurine fueled jitter promoting the band and working shifts for the man. In my opinion (Knox, drummer) Curio are versatile and make accessible music, providing equal opportunities for people and art in the 21st century.
