The death of ChrisCurtis, founding member of the Searchers, on February 28, 2005, did not simply sadden fans of that most scintillating of the British Invasion/Merseybeat bands.
Curtis' first move upon leaving the Searchers was to cut a solo single, aptly titled "Aggravation." Later in life, he took a job with the Inland Revenue, where he remained for the next 20 years.
With Curtis' notions for the project in a permanent state of confused flux, the musicians swiftly tired of trying to keep up with his ideas and, when it became apparent that Curtis was finally losing interest, nobody tried to coax him back on board.
ChrisCurtis ( August 26, 1941 â February 28, 2005) was a British drummer and singer with the 1960s rock band The Searchers.
Curtis hated Australia and he was abusing a variety of substances to the point where he fell off the stage at one venue.
Curtis did not want to help his old band, however, and with the help of Harold Davidson the Ryans released the single in the week of September 12, 1966 and played it on âReady, Steady, Goâ on October 7.
