MESSAGE FROM TONI ON 31.1.2005.....

Dear Fans Everywhere,
Before I start I would just like to thank all of you for your loyalty
and commitment to Curve over the years, it has been a lifesaver on
many a dark night. Unfortunately after much thought and consideration
I have come to the realisation that I can no longer continue with
Curve on a musical level and have therefore decided to pursue other
avenues. I won't go into details but a few things happened to me
last year that really drained me of any confidence I had and made me
realise it was time to move on or be in danger of becoming bitter and
twisted and losing my love for music. I have also felt less and less
fulfilled with my position in Curve over the last few years and seemed
to be no longer enjoying my work as much as I have in the past. I do
intend to do small one off projects in the future but nothing that
needs the time and commitment of a full time band. I hope that you
understand my feelings on this, we have been together a long time and
I feel that it has come to it's natural end with a lot of good
work
achieved in the last 15 years. I wish YOU all the best for the future,
Best Wishes,
Toni.

THE TRUTH IS WE HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR QUITE A WHILE...TONI HAS
BEEN UNHAPPY WITH CURVE FOR SOMETIME WHICH IS NEVER A GOOD RECIPE FOR
WRITING AND RECORDING...YOU HAVE TO LOVE IT OTHERWISE IT NEVER
WORKS...I CAN UNDERSTAND HER FEELINGS COMPLETELY AND WISH HER MANY
HAPPY HAPPY JOYFUL DAYS AHEAD AND EVERY SUCCESS WITH ANY FUTURE
ENDEAVOURS....IT DOES SEEM LIKE A NATURAL WAY TO WIND SOMETHING UP...
AS TONI SAYS WE HAVE BEEN BASHING AWAY FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE
ACHIEVED A LOT TOGETHER BUT THE TIME HAS COME TO LET IT GO..... TO
MOVE ON....THIS SITE WILL REMAIN ONLINE AS IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FUN
PUBLISHING OVER THE YEARS...BUT WE"LL KEEP IT MORE AS AN ARCHIVE AND
AS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN FIND OUT WHAT WE'RE BOTH UP TO IN THE
FUTURE...THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT AND CHEER OVER THE YEARS
GIVE YOURSELVES A PAT ON THE BACK...TOP CREW !!!!! CHIN UP
EVERYONE....BOTTOMS CLENCHED...DRY THOSE EYES AND LET'S RAISE A GLASS
OR TEN TO THE GOOD THAT IS CURVE AND REMEMBER THE MANY HIGH TIMES HAD
BY ALL....CHEERS !! CLINK CLINK..

FOR THOSE INTERESTED A NEW SITE WWW.THEDOGLAB.COM IS NOW ONLINE

yeah, honestly, i thought curve was done years ago. then again, i only recently started listening to them. it just seemed like they were of the past.

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!!!

Those last three albums (Gift, The New Adventures of Curve and Open Day at the Hate Fest) were three of their best albums ever.

What's with all these UK bands breaking up? Mclusky, Curve...there was someone else who just broke up recently too.

If Toni has too much time on her hands now, she can crash at my place and get her head together. Ummm....just an offer.

No it wasn't them, I was thinking of the Unicorns. Though they're not from the UK.

I am saddened by this news.

Fuck this sucks.

good group but nothing i'll miss. their sound ripped off garbage, save for the fact that curve and their sound came first.

"gift" was an avg effort following a solid "come clean" and i lost interest after that.

someone should start a poll about what's the best curve album. i also have "doppleganger" and that's as good if not better than "clean".

That's easy -- Cuckoo.

And that's only because you have to discount Pubic Fruit.

I for one, thought Come Clean was better than Doppelganger. But I do realize I am in the minority on that.
