Strange Crew

About Me


February 1, 2010. What a great gig we did on Friday night @ East End Company in Solna, Sweden. Many, many old friends showed up in the crowd and the place was packed.
Thanx to you all that made the night great and thanx for the support by Fight the Pikter.
December 29, 2009. Two new songs added; "Wheels of fortune", a song that's been with Cheezuz for some time and "A new day yesterday" originally done by Jethro Tull in 1969. Both songs recorded live at the gig on December 26, 2009.
December 27, 2009. First gig with the New Crew is done, a huge success - and more to come... Stay tuned.
October 9, 2009. Wellcome back Cheezuz - now on guitar and vocals!!!
September 20, 2009. Guitar player job is vacant! Patrik Buhr has decided to leave the band. We wish him good luck!
December 28, 2008.
We welcome Patrik Buhr on lead guitar and Thomas Nemlander on bass and vocals.

Strange Crew is back on full swirl!
Seems like Johan was alone in Strange Crew for a while but you just wait and see...
December 9, 2008 --- The band has lost their bass player and lead singer Thomas, he's decided to quit - Good luck to him...

October 22, 2008 --- Tonight we'll have an audition with guitarist Mikael. Hopefully he's the guy for us...
October 14, 2008 --- We actualy had a gig booked but we had to cancel it...SHIT . And even more stupid - we've lost guitarist Uffe so now we're back to basic again...
September 15, 2008 --- Looks like we'll soon set the date for our first gig. Stay tuned...
May 19, 2008 --- We're glad to welcome Uffe on board. Uffe will play guitar and do occasional singin' so Thomas will stick with the bass. More later...
May 16, 2008 --- Looks like we'll soon be a full line up again. Auditons with guitarists have been taken place and we'll shortly have a new crew member.
April 23, 2008 --- Even Lasse's quit the band. The bass player job is vacant again. Thomas vill play the bass for a while and we'll shop around for a gutarist.

February 11, 2008 --- It sounds good in our rehearsal studio now, soon we'll be out giging. We have a few gigs in the pipeline but nothing booked yet. We'll be back....
January 5, 2008 --- New bass player on his way in. We welcome Nerko and hope this will improve our sound. Thomas will still be singin' and now play the guitar and maybe occasionally keyboards in the future.
November 15, 2007 ---
Everything with long hair from the 60's and 70's wasn't good. We play only the best of the best...
