Curious were founded in summer 99 by Olli (vocals), Suzie (drums) and Moci (bass guitar). Together with some competent comrade-in-arms Curious first of all gained experience by covering several songs of the indie heroes The Cure, OMD and the Chameleons. The highlight and also the end of those cover time was playing as support act for gothrock legend The Mission at Zeche Bochum, Germany in November 2000.

In the following year and being joined by Marie (keyboards) and Patrick (guitars) Curious totally concentrated on songwriting. So, after several gigs (amongst others with Escape with Romeo and at the Secret Garden Festival in Hannover in 2002, the band produced their 4 track demo ep Falling. Falling can so be seen as first result of that Curious typical sound.

In 2003 Curious continued celebrating their live presences which offered the possibility to present themselves to bigger audiences. Ecspecially the gigs together with Mark Burgess (Ex Chameleons) and the gig at "Bielefeld rockt" (a huge festival with the best bielefelder bands in all music styles) were outstanding. Moreover Marco (guitars) finally completed the band line up, Patrick left the band . This time had been invited for quite a lot of radio interviews.

So it happened that the record indie label Genetic Music showed great interest in a cooperation with Curious and in winter 2003 the recordings for the first full time album started and were finished in early summer 2004. In July 2004 then "The intimate Stranger" was published, the album can e.g. be obtained via SX Distribution, Amazon, Infrarot, Indietective, Strobelight, Martz, Modern Entertainment etc.The intimate Stranger contains 9 great catchy songs which should most likely be compared to that classic eighties guitar wave sound with its melancholic and groovy atmosphere.

In October 2004 the Cure Tribute Sampler "Other voices" has been published by Equinoxe Records, while Curious contribution to that was their cover version of "Siamese Twins" (Pornography).

Their first contact with the TV Curious had at November23, 2004 : The TV Station "WDR" broadcasted a clip about Curious in order to advertise forthcoming gigs of them.

In 2005 loads of Promotion dates and gigs of course - followed and not to forget several sampler contributions concerning the actual album. Without doubt another highlight had been Curious support for the Dutch cult band "The Essence" in October 2004 (Hagen).

And regarding present and future : at the moment the latest new Curious song "Thrill B"is quite causing sensations. The new album "Arrythmia" is coming soon in spring 2008, you can listen to first demo songs "Resurrection", "Slowly Decaying" and "Thrill B".
