The Curious Nothing

09/18/2025

We're diving deep into our archives and couldn’t wait to share some seriously siiick content from our debut issue, released in 2023! Inside, we featured an exclusive interview with the incredible Harry Katz, now available on our blog (link in bio).

Since then, has been on fire! We caught them live at Permanent Records Roadhouse in Highland Park and (the) curious nothing has also joined in on the fabulous Pistachioland extravaganzas. ✨

Experiencing them live is a wild ride—think high energy, endless movement, and groovy tunes that make you want to shake your b***y! If you get the opportunity, YOU MUST GO SEE THEM! 💃

We've also come a long way since then, but you can still enjoy the ENTIRE issue for FREE! Download the official CYBER VERSION at thecuriousnothing.com. 😈
