CURIOUS BIOGRAPHY
******************************
>>> “It’s hard to take a bow if you’re not willing to bend”
The Curious Incident is a conjunction mash of soul, rock, psychedelic and tribal music (psych-soul-tribal-rock) that is proudly South African and ambitiously international. The ‘Incident’ is Shaka Zulu Rock dueling with Conquistador Rock while Motown Soul provokes them (but in a gentlemanly fashion).
>>> “Claims of Rainbow Nation but both sides still see in black & white”
South Africa – The Rainbow Nation - and the “worldwide dirt and shine of human existence” come through as major influences both musically and lyrically.
Politically incorrect in their political correctness and diversity, Curious comprises of a white man (Agnostic/Jew), a black man (Christian) and a yellow man (Muslim). They welcome everything curious and do not discriminate when pulling up fans from the crowd to participate in the song or dance.
>>> “We all sound the same in some different way”
The Curious Incident draws contemporary inspiration from the likes of Muse, Incubus, Queens of the Stone Age and RX Bandits through to The Temper Trap and Phoenix as well as South Africa’s very own BLK JKS.
The band’s “slightly off-beat flamboyance” is tempered with, as put by founding member and vocalist Kyle Roberts, “enough mainstream appeal so as not to alienate the larger audience.”
>>> “Dreams were built and broken down, I’m rebuilding my dreams wearing my paper crown”
“More ambitious than your average politician” and trying “to spread like swine flu”, The Curious Incident have got some free in-store samples for the world in their debut EP, Fatal Descriptive Attraction, which is available for free download from their Myspace & Facebook pages.
Their energy and spasmodic rhythmical-writhing need a stage. So, armed with tales of intrigue, relentless passion, interesting covers of Gaga & Beyonce as well as an Emphasis on Paralysis, The Curious Incident will take to the world in 2011 and refill your empty brand name energy cans.
“How great would it be for words from one’s own mind to be… immortalized, built into the fabrics of time, concreted in the minds of history.”
