STATEMENT FROM CURVED AIR
“It is with great regret that we have to announce that due to a member of the band testing Covid positive this morning, we have no option but to postpone tomorrow night’s show at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre in Hull. This is most disappointing for everyone concerned but we absolutely must put the safety of the band members, crew, local venue staff and not least our audiences first and foremost. We ask ticket holders to retain tickets as we are hopeful it will be possible to reschedule the show to a date the mutually suits both the band and venue. Please stay tuned as regards announcements concerning any of the other upcoming shows.”
Curved Air is a unique band, synthesizing an eclectic blend of musical styles into an instantly identifiable sound. Curved Air’s hits include “It Happened Today”, “Vivaldi”, “Marie Antoinette” and “Backstreet Luv”. Curved Air founder member vocalist Sonja Kristina leads a skilled and talented new line-up, which includes returning 1970s member Kirby Gregory, bringing their unique music to an existing and new fanbase in the 21st Century.
Curved Air’s concerts and festival appearances continue to thrill a steadily increasing mass of new and old fans worldwide. Their experimental blends of classical themes, electronic sounds and pop/rock energy and beautiful, timeless songs are performed with fire and passion and tremendous musicianship.
Considered (according to AllMusic) “one of the most dramatically accomplished of all the bands lumped into Britain’s late-’60s prog explosion”, Curved Air is a pioneering British progressive rock group of musicians from mixed artistic backgrounds.
They are famed for their unforgettable live performances and ‘Art Rock’ music – the quasi classical imprints of Terry Riley hooked onto beautiful and demonic violin combined with electronic adventurous synths and interwoven with brilliant guitar wizardry mesmerisingly embroidered by the subliminal and exotic presence of a unique lead singer Sonja Kristina. All these elements elevated them from the underground Roundhouse scene to top the album charts in the early ’70s.
