Curve call it a day :(
Should come as no surprise. No "official" new music since 2001. No tour since 1998. Really REALLY bummed about this. From their official website:

THE NEWS UPDATE YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR IS FINALLY HERE
MESSAGE FROM TONI ON 31.1.2005.....
Dear Fans Everywhere,
Before I start I would just like to thank all of you for your loyalty and commitment to Curve over the years, it has been a lifesaver on many a dark night. Unfortunately after much thought and consideration I have come to the realisation that I can no longer continue with Curve on a musical level and have therefore decided to pursue other avenues. I won’t go into details but a few things happened to me last year that really drained me of any confidence I had and made me realise it was time to move on or be in danger of becoming bitter and twisted and losing my love for music. I have also felt less and less fulfilled with my position in Curve over the last few years and seemed to be no longer enjoying my work as much as I have in the past. I do intend to do small one off projects in the future but nothing that needs the time and commitment of a full time band. I hope that you understand my feelings on this, we have been together a long time and I feel that it has come to it’s natural end with a lot of good work achieved in the last 15 years. I wish YOU all the best for the future,
Best Wishes,
Toni.
