The Curious Incident (UK) is an alternative pop band of multinationals wearing their hearts on their sleeves; their music has a little RHCP, a little Sting, a little Winehouse, a little Bruno Mars and a lot more thrown in depending on the weather.
Pre-order 'Penny Lonesome' and get into the gig for free. The official release date for the EP is 26 January, 2015. Pre-orders are now open: http://bit.ly/PennyLonesomeSA. The first 20 people to show that they have Pre-Ordered and have Money in their iTunes will get in for free at any of the SA tour gigs. (Just show your pre-order at the entrance to venue.)
The EP consists of four news songs: Money, a tongue-in-cheek teasing of the lyrics of some of the band`s favourite modern artists Aloe Blacc and Sam Smith; The Hunt, an eclectic and somewhat unexpected style mash with a positive blow-out chorus best suited to a Caribbean jump around; Diane, a tale of youthful love in a school-time crush that's bloomed into an Elvis-approved marriage; Please Don't Say, perfect for telling that special someone (lover, friend, politician) to shut the hell up.
What is the most curious incident that has happened to you? Tell them on Twitter (#tcioftheyear) or in 200 to 300 words on Facebook and stand a chance to win a copy of the EP and some of the band`s awesome T-shirts.
