Dublin-based post-rock duo Bicurious have shared their band new video for their new single ‘Palapalapa’. The band have been hard at work on their debut LP since 2019, and will set to 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 PlouzaneĢ (guitar); a confused, loud, experimental two-piece from Dublin, Ireland and Brest, France.
Bicuriousā 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.

Formed in 2016, Bicurious released their debut singles āSugar Beatsā and āT.O.Iā in 2017.
Their debut EP Iām 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 bandās 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, āSleepā, has clocked up just under three million streams on Spotify.
In March 2019 the band released the single āI Don’t Do Drugs, I Just Sweat a Lot.ā 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.
