A junkyard band with a heart of dirt, smoke, and wires; the Curious Mystery blends Sixties-style psychedelia with American country-blues and
garage experimentalism . Cool night air, slow burning heaviness, impregnation by blackberry, Captain Beefheart, late night crawlers, native
fowl, dinner, river blindness; these are some of the things the Curious Mystery bides its time thinking about.
They began in 2005 in Seattle where Shana Cleveland, a Midwestern daughter of Blues and Country rock musicians met Nicolas Gonzalez; an
experimental instrumentalist from Texas enamored with Polvo, Morricone, and Eastern drones. Today the band features Nicolas on guitar,
vocals, and homemade instruments; Shana on vocals, banjo, guitar, and autoharp; as well as Faustine B. Hudson on drums, gong, dinner bell,
plastic tube, whathaveyou; and Bradford Button on the bass guitar and stuffing.
