Curved Air have asked fans to own up if they ever bootlegged any concerts – but only so the band can hear them.
Sonja Kristina and co want to fill out their recording archive with as many dates as possible. They’ve published a list of specific shows they’re looking for, but they also want to find out about any other tapes that exist.
Curved Air say: “We’re not looking to get anyone into trouble – please consider this an amnesty and get in in touch. Many thanks from the members past and present.”
Earlier this year the band released North Star, their first album to feature new music since 1976. Original members Kristina and Florian Pilkington-Miksa were rejoined by classic-era guitarist Kirby Gregory for studio sessions alongside Paul Sax, Robert Norton and Chris Harris. Their latest UK tour kicks off at the end of the month.
