The band comment: “Releasing this song is the beginning of a huge step for us. It is charged with personal meaning, and we can’t wait to tell people the whole story.”
After a number of singles, an EP, and over five million Spotify streams, Bicurious are ready to make 2021 their own.
The band have been hard at work on their debut LP since 2019, and will announce details soon.
A gloriously inventive twopiece, Bicurious stand head and shoulders above the rest of the genre with their brilliant ability to harness melody – hummable hooks buried within mostly instrumental rock. ‘Palapalapa’ is a glorious example of this – with an instantly catchy tune that guarantees instant repetition.
At once insightful, self-aware, technically proficient but above all immediately accessible, Bicurious are a band with an edge and clear, confident identity. The band are Gavin Purcell (drums) and Taran Plouzané (guitar); a confused, loud, experimental two-piece from Dublin, Ireland and Brest, France. Bicurious’ songs often feature vocal samples from political figures, which aim to bring to light social injustice in Ireland and beyond. The band have built a loyal fanbase through extensive touring and have won over crowds both at home and abroad, establishing themselves as a recognisable force on the European instrumental rock scene.
Known for riff sing-alongs, grooves that open up mosh pits and get heads banging, and the undeniable chemistry between the two remarkable musicians, Bicurious have taken their captivating live show from sweaty private rehearsal rooms to festival stages across Europe for the last four years.
Formed in 2016, Bicurious released their debut singles ‘Sugar Beats’ and ‘T.O.I’ in 2017.
Their debut EP I’m So Confused was crowd-funded by fans through an Indiegogo campaign and a packed-out fundraiser gig in 2017, just a year and a half after the band’s formation. The EP was released in 2018, and the band celebrated the release with a sold-out show in Whelan’s, Dublin. The lead single from the EP, ‘Sleep’, has clocked up just under three million streams on Spotify.
In March 2019 the band released the single ‘I Don’t Do Drugs, I Just Sweat a Lot.’ They toured the UK and Ireland in support of the release, followed by festival appearances at Knockanstockan, Vantastival, Electric Picnic and more in Summer 2019.
Bicurious embarked on their biggest tour to date in the Winter of 2019, which took them from Ireland to the UK, France and Italy. They are scheduled to appear at ArcTanGent festival (Bristol, UK) and Portals Festival (London, UK) later this year.
