They played soulful, funky pop jazz and were initially signed to Phonogram Records' Mercury imprint. The first came to notice of the UK music and style press when they hooked up with photographer Andy Warhol for the video of the 1986 single Misfit. This featured the band in New York and at one point featured Ben Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot dancing down a side street whilst Andy Warhol referenced Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" by dropping pieces of white card in time to the music (an efect that would also be copied by INXS in the Mediate of 1988).
Their debut album Keep Your Distance entered the British charts at number one in May 1987, and stayed in the Top Ten for 13 weeks, however the release of that album's "Free" lost some of the momentum by limping to only Number 56 in the UK charts.
The bands second album Getahead was lead by an upbeat funky track called "Name and Number". Even though this record only reached Number 14 in 1989, the "Hey How You Doin'" refrain would find itself in the Top Ten two years later as part of the De La Soul song "Ring Ring Ring (Hey Hey Hey)".
After the lack-leisure performance of Getahead and second single First Place, Curiosity (as they were now billed) found themselves dropped from Mercury Records. However three years after the release of that single they returned to the UK Top Ten as a three piece on RCA Records, with a cover of Johnny Bristol's Hang on in There Baby. However the band's follow ups (covers of I Need Your Lovin' and Gimme the Sunshine) flopped in the UK, which resulted in the album Back to Front only being released in Japan and selected overseas markets.
In the 2000s the band reformed for an appearance on a National Lottery midweek show on BBC 1 and since then Ben Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot has toured under the name Curiosity Killed the Cat on a number of 1980s revival packages.
Since Curiosity disbanded, Ben has, by request, continued to perform both live and in the studio and has recently teamed up with dance supremos "Element" (AKA Bimbo Jones) who have already produced remixes for the likes of Deep Dish, Usher and The Bodyrockers. They are also the co production duo responsible for "Meck's" "Thunder In My Heart Again".

Does anyone have the lyrics? It's the ad lib bit at the end that I can't make out.
Curiosity Killed the Cat Fan
It started way underground
And made a reach too find the surface
Mainstream, mountain top bound
Just a routine set for a purpose
If running water don't freeze to ice
There's nothing gonna stop the waves
Cascade, wherever you're guiding me
Carry on and on.
Cascade, wherever you’re guiding me
Just carry on
and on and on.
Whole-hearted in sight and sound
It stays immune to lighting, thunder
It saves me (now I’m safe) because I’m found
Comes across a bridge and it helps me under
If running water don't freeze to ice
There's nothing gonna stop the waves
Cascade, wherever you're guiding me
Carry on and on.
Cascade, wherever you’re guiding me
Just carry on and on and on and on and on.
Cascade
Cascade
It’s another cade
Cascade, wherever you're guiding me
Carry on and on.
Cascade, wherever you’re guiding me
Just carry on and on and on and on
Cascade
Carry on and on
Cascade, wherever you're guiding me
Carry on and on and on and on
You got to be whole hearted when you’re shining on
Got to see the people happy with their soul
And it’s got to be meaning and it’s got to be feeling the in the soul all naturally
And it’s got to meant for the top, for the top, and its worn intentionally
Take it under
It’s another cade
Cascade
