Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot, Nick Thorpe, Julian Godfrey Brookhouse and Migi Drummond. The likely lads from Curiosity Killed The Cat. One of my all-time favorite bands from the late 80s.
For some reason I had a huge 'man crush' on lead singer, Ben (who I discovered many years later shagged the girlfriend of a guy I was working with - while the guy I knew was still dating the girl).
Anyways, I remember tripping all around Wellington, New Zealand circa 1988 trying to find Ben's trademark backwards fisherman cap, his blazer, and his crumpled chambray shirt. But I had little joy, having to make do with items that could possibly pass for the originals as long as I wore them in a dimly-lit pub.
Fortunately, I was the only one within my group of friends who'd even heard of Curiosity Killed The Cat, so they weren't going to judge me for the quality of my 'tribute costume'. Unfortunately, as I soon found out, they were going to judge me even more harshly for looking like an 'arty tool'.
