The band Strangel was formed during a wild night out in
the coastal town, Kalmar at the begining of 2006.
Richard Flow was tired of his solo-project Eyeflow and Alecx Kincaid
where looking for someone to share his vision about create
music in the style of electro-alternative-goth.
The two of them run into eachother during some drinks
and after a while they decided to start up a music project.
And so the story begins..
After some early demos a friend of them, Oak decides to join the band.
Together they started to make some music for their first
live-performance at a local festival they had been promised to play at!
However the show where canceled in the very last minute
and the band more or less broke down.
Strangel didn´t really excist after this for a while, but Richard and Alecx
decieded to pick up the band again early in 2007.
With some new equipment and a much heavier sound
the morale where back.
Another friend of the band called J-Dee joins the band
somwhere at the spring 2007, and Strangel is once again a trio.
At this time the band where asked to perform at a festival
called VOID, which included som big bands and it was the perferct
chance for Strangel to try their wings in front of a
crowd for the very first time.
The show went on very well and Strangel felt delightful about the band.
In the early summer 2007 some more songs had been created
and the band decided that their first real demo was finished.
It contained 5 songs which all sprawled in different styles.
The Demo 2007 was appreciated and Strangel recieved a great feedback.
Among this,a review in a local newspaper and participation at two
complitation albums with various artists.
Despite the fact that Strangel where moving on pretty good J-Dee suddenly
decides to leave the band. With a new gig in Stockholm coming up
Strangel was once again just Richard and Alecx.
A new song called "Animal machine" saw the light of the day and the band
where ready to descend upon the big city.
E-ric, an old friend to the band jumps in as a replacer for J-Dee at Club Volga
in Stockholm. The show went on very well and it was cozy evening.
