The Incidentals are an acoustic folk-rock trio from Cape Town comprising of Chris on guitars and vocals, Brad on bass and Dave on vocals and drums. Today sees the release of their debut single “Trippin’ on Tar”, a song about falling into the perils of modern everyday life.
Songwriter Chris Haw explains “Trippin’ on Tar”

Formed in 2019 The Incidentals has crafted a captivating local sound that is undoubtedly their own. Songwriters Chris (formally with Chiaroscuro and The Swingsetters) and Dave (formally with Chiaroscuro, Palms Up and The Swingsetters) weave storied lyrics together with funky electric and warm acoustic guitars, vocal harmonies, smooth basslines and sultry, steady beats.
Despite the difficulty of live music during times of Covid, their performances continue to attract new fans across the country and excitement is growing around the release of their debut EP recorded at the award-winning Sunset Studios earlier this year.
