Music at Curve Bar
View(s):
Curve Tapas restaurant is a popular venue for some fantastic music. It has a radiant ambience complimented by some lovely music performances by great bands such as Kool, CJ with Minthaka and Damien with DZone. Sitting down with these bands for a chat made me realize why I should come to Curve more often and enjoy the live music with a difference.
Kool is lead by Herschel Rodrigo on keyboard, Shamistha on vocals, Ravin on vocals and guitar, Shiraz on drums, Shehan on sax and Dulip on Bass, Kool is a collaboration of both young and older generations giving it a twist in its music.
Mintaka is a seven piece band which plays RNB, modern pop, Soul and Classics. I felt like there was need for this kind of music and my singers simply nail it. We play covers mostly while I do write my own stuff and compose. I am mostly into world music and I listen to a number of genres although I was initially into rock music. The music scene in Sri Lanka needs to change as everyone wants what they’ve heard before. Most bands play the same song while here at Curve it’s done differently. We always experiment with music before improvisation to give a new genre or new piece of music to our listeners.”
Also you can catch Damien with DZone every Wednesday at Curve.
