Curve Toni Halliday - Mtv interview

[@fredhandy2063]

She's so hot! This was when MTV was still concerned about promoting music..

[@cloerenjackson3699]

as long as it wasn't music by black people. They wouldn't even play Michael Jackson at first.

[@captaincrumpet5558]

Curve were horribly underrated. Doppelganger is a brilliant record

[@MrHumanracin]

Fuck I miss Curve, music today needs them back!

[@ShadowfinderMusic]

+MrHumanracin 100% agreed!

[@XPK36]

She was my Perfect 10 for ages.

[@benedettobruno1669]

Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Curve, music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere and unforgettable one-hit wonders. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.

[@soundpilatesandyoga8531]

I'm glad to see so many others love Curve. I always felt like there were only a few of my friends who were into Curve.

[@fstop77]

the need to bring this show back. We need 120 minutes now more than ever.

[@MemphiStig]

she was a natural star. shame she didn't rise higher. the band was so good.

[@TheShowgirl25]

Toni Halliday/Curve is beyond music. It makes you feel!

[@Dimthedark]

TheShowgirl25 exactly !!!!

[@willthurlow1615]

No one else has a sound like Curve had and they were an excellent live band as well. Debbie was an exceptional guitarist to watch live and Dean and Toni were always at 100%. Their EPs were the way to follow them though.

[@warborn_inc.]

Everything Curve released was brilliant!!!

[@torchiest]

Wow, where have all the eloquent musicians gone?

[@ShadowfinderMusic]

+torchiest they don't exist anymore - nowadays they are just mindless money obsessed trash for the most part. Music used to be about something, used to convey a message, a feeling. Now it's just about 'yo bitch' this and that and repeating the same three words over and over again. For me music has clearly regressed from the early 2000's onwards with a few noticeable exceptions.

[@aikighost]

Playing small gigs in local indie alldayers the world over.

[@aceautonewportky]

Your kidding right? Toni you are an icon a leader. You are a fantastic role model. I don't get it. Down playing your self. Curve was and is an incredible creation. A super power house. Put your Curve stuff back in print. Can't find it and it can't be ordered. Please Toni!!

[@southboundtraveler]

I remember watching this when it aired... time has changed. Man she was so good, Curve was way ahead of its time.

[@cansto214]

"You think you're a role model for young women?" "Oh, I hope not!" heheheheheh Beautiful, talented, awesome woman!!!!!

[@Proudmule1]

LICK!

[@scidriver]

The great days of 120 Minutes.

[@chrissyhammond9089]

One of the most underrated bands ever!

[@sugarayofsunshine]

This was the most powerful band that combined hard synth and traditional music that existed in the 90's - before NIN

[@MitchQuintana]

Well, NIN and Curve were active at the same time.

[@sugarayofsunshine]

Mitch Quintana Apologies - Yes - however - Curve were better.

[@MitchQuintana]

I am a big fan of them both. Both band's music is different... So who's to say one's better than the other. :D

[@warborn_inc.]

They were epic!! They deserved to be so much bigger than they were.

[@bluBlaq33]

Ray Lehto apples & oranges... NIN is alt-rock, industrial .....curve is pure shoegaze with some electronica not at all a decent comparison. But curve is amazing. As an industrial fan however not really fair to compare them.

[@jeannedarc9491]

TONI HALLIDAY IS AN AMAZING MUSICIAN..great singer..a fan from 1990’s!

[@lostjohnny9000]

Too right She should have been talking about how she took Curve's four-track tapes into high end studios and mixed it down to produce that gritty, edgy spacey sound. They weren't afraid to use drum loops, guitar loops, synth sequencers and screeching feedback as the canvas for her delicate vocals. The result was a truly massive wall of sound. Along side Leftfield and NIN, they were pioneers of that grunge-dub-electronica sound, still going strong.

[@soundpilatesandyoga8531]

Ahhhh Leftfield.

[@infesticon]

"they are all doing something different" Go Toni !

[@jimmyboomsemtex9735]

goth lady icon of a generation from her 1st record to the rest of it. she is awesome. there we go.

[@Robinssoncravents]

So precious girl...totally

[@octosparkTC]

Toni. So amazing. I hope her solo work CHATELAINE comes out soon. She's so angelic.

[@jeffmusgrave3691]

Fantastic interview. Her voice is amazing.

[@staticicon]

Crush for a long time! Nothing can compare to Curve

[@danilalikhachev341]

such an intelligent and creative band, both of them have such a wealth of talent, personality and creative ingenuity. Toni is a pure joy to listen to as an interviewee, alongside being one of the best vocalists in the world. rest of the band were awesome, too, the public just didn't deserve a band like this then, and I don't think we deserve it now. they were making a uniquely aggressive blend of pop music for thinking people in the mainstream public. there just wasn't enough of that then and probably not enough now for Curve to get the appreciation that they so clearly deserve. this should have been the breakthrough in the modern urban musical landscape, their stuff was every bit as groundbreaking for pop as things like Nirvana or, say, Massive Attack. thanks for putting this out!

[@KywokiYakasaki]

I disagree a bit, I think it would be awesome if we could have them back, it would be something different and better in a world where nowadays music are so generic and all artists sound the same. I think they could make a huge difference now as they did in the past, we could've been listening to new Curve songs now if they were back, but Toni doesn't want to.

[@danilalikhachev341]

@@KywokiYakasaki it would surely be fantastic to hear new music from them, what I meant is, I doubt it would garner a success as widespread as it deserves. i feel like the majority of today's listeners are even more desentisized and have even less of an attention span to get really grabbed by something original. but then, I might be underestimating them, my perspective is very limited. of course, I'd like you to be right on this!

[@KywokiYakasaki]

@@danilalikhachev341 I see, the only way to make young people know Curve is if the fans show them the band, I only found Curve cause I played Frequency for ps2, otherwhise I would've never heard about them, here in Brazil I only met 3 or 4 people who know Curve too, it's hard to find someone who knows them. I always try to recommend their music and Toni's too to my friends, it would help if we all could show everyone that they exist, and unfortunately most people still don't know the band.

[@mikeg4490]

I miss when chicks had this style

[@TNCreature]

Dave was so in love with her.

[@HumanoidMachine]

She really reminds me of Gary Numan and it's not just because she's british. She does have a similar accent to him but it's her cadence and demeanor that very Gary Numan-like.

[@KywokiYakasaki]

I've never heard about him before, but I just watched an interview now and I agree with you, she really sounds like him in the way she skeapks. Changing the subject, if you don't mind me asking this, are you brazilian? Cause the name of your channel is written in portuguese.

[@HumanoidMachine]

@@KywokiYakasaki it's actually Spanish. My father is from Mexico.

[@KywokiYakasaki]

pretty, smart and talented

[@Lucretius6]

Dave used to DJ at the Goth night at the Limelight back then...that was some fun.

[@lkb1326]

Interesting that she didn't think Curve should be compared with Shoegaze bands, because Curve were very much part of that movement - mainly because they all had similar influences, i.e MBV, Cocteau Twins etc. Just listen to Horror Head and tell me that it doesn't have a Shoegaze sound.

[@msgvb]

thanks for posting this

[@poboi420ify]

TONI HALLIDAY!!!!!!ahghgghggghhhhghh, SHES SO PRETTY!!!!!!

[@niclasjohansson2071]

Im still in love with Toni

[@tresinforest2904]

Toni is so humble

[@WFMGINC]

She made me want a British goddess all the time Man I remember watching 120 minutes in the states a midnight

[@Jac70]

I have been listening to Curve since the Come Clean album came out, they are one of my favourite bands. I've never been into band members though, for me it's just the music that I'm into so I never knew what Toni looked like until tonight. She's kinda hot!

[@ponchoman56]

same here, my two favorite bands

[@69zobazoba]

such a beautiful woman!!

[@iangpark]

a well-adjusted, mindful, thoughtful musician? don't get them anymore. horror head is a song dreams are made of.

[@KywokiYakasaki]

it's just an interview and i posted the video for who want to see it,i know chatelaine,i've heard toni's album and i have these songs on my channel too,it's really good ^^

[@avedic]

Just realized how similar she looks to Neve Campbell.............but hotter. ;D

[@elkiemart4132]

Surely an Undeworld era Kate Beckinsale?

[@stefanmarraccini8646]

Such a humble and lovely lady. Curve grabbed me and shook me for awhile there in the early 90s. I love the way she share's credit with bandmates when she could have easily run with the "2 piece" question from the interviewer and kept it about her and Dean.

[@iiimusika]

my influences are pink floyd,,,the clash,,judas priest,,,depech mode almost any kind of brittish music from pop,,heavy metal,,tecno,,industrial british are masters !!

[@user-wu8sj3ee3d]

Very well spoken.

[@johnnyburke75]

fucking great band

[@razorvard]

Oh yea -- remember this - Dave Kendell -Interviewer (excuse the spelling) - Was the best during that time. He understood the artist - at least kept it interesting... Toni we miss you!!!!!

They ruled for a few years.But then Blur and Oasis took over. She had a dodgy solo LP. On Chrysalis in 1988. Avoid it.But all Curve is cool.

On Chrysalis? Never heard of this before, could you show me the art cover if there is any?

[@julianrob77]

as the biggest curve fan ever let me tell you why i dont like this video the interview was crap. the album was one i bought many times for people and got them into Curve, as time went on, i realised one thing. She knows her stuff. Toni has a new outfit called Chataline that are far superior. worth a look . sorry SuperloveHug, your spell is broken. one could say its a fait accompli (An accomplished fact; an action which is completed before those affected by it are in a position to change it)

[@TheXtro101]

Brunette British women are my opinion more attractive looking than British blondes.

[@ibelieveicansoar]

Toni is mostly Spanish from what I've read, and probably dyes / dyed her hair dark

[@thehiddenhermit9014]

I love Toni, and I love Curve, but she does, y'know, sound a bit like, y'know, David, y'know, Beckham (y'know).

[@mef1975]

I actually enjoyed Curve much more than I'm enjoying Chatelaine, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that one is superior to the other. As for the interview being crap, she did seem a bit unaware of herself.

[@leighbennett1961]

I used to love Curve. Doppelganger, Cuckoo, Fait EP, Frozen. Listening to them now tho, I dont think their sound has aged that well to be honest. Too much reliance on sequenced drum tracks that dont change throughout the whole song, and layers and layers of feedback. Nice for a bit of nostalgia every now and then.

[@juancarlossahli3832]

That's true for Doppelganger and the EPs....Cuckoo had a really progressive sound, much more dynamic and less sequenced, you can hear it very much in the work of these new shoegaze-influenced bands like No Joy....Their late 90s, 00s more electronic sound also holds up well, despite being very niche-y.

[@EternityofNight]

Yah but if you want regular drums there's always rush. Curve has a cool and dark vibe regardless.

[@Gordrann]

Helena Bonham-Carter!

[@julianrob77]

who knows toni might be as OCD as me and message me to remove my dislike as it tarnishes the perfect score. one can dream...

[@bonniebianco5918]

curve hd good songs but nothing amazing. i remember tony halliday was the blonde in 'bonk'.

[@Insidious849]

Please don’t kill me for this, this is just my opinion after all: I’ve been a die-hard Shirley Manson and Garbage fan for years, and I’ve only been getting into Toni and Curve more recently, and I gotta say: they’re fucking awesome. The _Come Clean_ and _Gift_ albums are amazing, although I have also listened to some of their earlier stuff, such as “Clipped” and “Coast is Clear.” (Both great songs, btw.) Both Shirley and Garbage, and Toni and Curve are marvels in rock music in my book; sometimes, I feel people only compare the two bands because Shirley and Toni sound alike, which I kinda think is unfair. Besides, Curve is a lot more “heavier,” industrial sounding and more louder, while Garbage has a bit more of a pop flair; a lot of bands sound similar to another anyway.

[@KywokiYakasaki]

lol don't worry, I have no reason to 'kill' you, you have the right to think whatever you want, after all people's taste in music are different and that's ok. And about what you said, I totally agree with you, although I'm not a Garbage fan, I find it nonsense to compare both bands, and all the arguments and fights over those 2, it's just ridiculous. I tried listening to Garbage in the past though but I can't like their music at all, the only one that I like is Vow, they're a great band but I really can't seem to enjoy their music, different tastes.

[@Insidious849]

@@KywokiYakasaki Thanks for the input and for understanding my point of view; it's just that I realize this is the internet, and that certain people probably wouldn't like it if you mentioned Garbage on a Curve video. XD
