Curiosity Killed the Cat

British pop band formed in 1984 by Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot (vocals), Julian Godfrey Brookhouse (guitar), Nicholas Bernard Throp (bass), Michael Drummond (drums), and Toby Anderson (keyboards).
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 released in July 1986, but it was not successful.
In early 1987, "Down to Earth" became a Top Ten hit in the U.K.
In 1989 the group shortened their name to Curiosity.
1992's "Hang On in There Baby" peaked at number three on the British charts, and the band disappeared from the music scene until they joined the 80s nostalgia ''Here and Now'' tour in 2001.
