Bodast (also known as Canto) were a late 1960s rock group from London, England. Its most notable member was Steve Howe, later to join the progressive rock band Yes. Members were Clive Skinner on guitar and vocals, Dave Curtiss on bass and Bobbie Clarke on drums. The name of the group came from the first two letters of the members' first names: BObbie, DAve, STeve.
The group recorded an album for Tetragrammaton Records in 1968. The label had success in the United States with Deep Purple, but went out of business just before the scheduled release date for the Bodast album.
The 1968 Bodast recordings were released in 1981, and by RPM Records in 2000. Bassist Dave Curtiss formed a folk duo with Clive Maldoon (born Clive Skinner) called Curtiss Maldoon in 1971. They recorded two albums. The first, simply called Curtiss Maldoon, was released in October 1971. Steve Howe played on two songs on the album. The second album, Maldoon, was released in November 1973.
