The following is the band's official biography:
CURIOUS BIOGRAPHY
>>> “It’s hard to take a bow if you’re not willing to bend”
The Curious Incident is a mash of Afro/Latin/Rock with soul that is proudly eclectic and ambitiously international. The ‘Incident’ is Shaka Zulu Rock duelling 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 Asians and Caucasians; Agnostics, Christians, Muslims and Jews. 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 inspiration from the likes of Led Zeppelin and early Santana as well as from contemporaries such as The Mars Volta, Queens of the Stone Age and Incubus through to 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 are about to release their debut and self-titled official EP and take their Afro/Latin/Rock around the world.
Their energy and spasmodic rhythmical-writhing need a stage. So, armed with tales of intrigue, relentless passion, electrifying electric as well as heart-warming acoustic shows, The Curious Incident will take to the world and refill your empty brand name energy cans.
“How great would it be for words from one’s own mind to be… immortalised, built into the fabrics of time, concreted in the minds of history.”
