About Me

Strangest Thing are a collective based in Edinburgh.
We are a core of three and invite (or kidnap) musicians to come take part in the madness.
Mescali, (writer/programmer/producer) is just out of jail, Naz (writer/singer/rapper) is currently obsessed with all things fish related and Dr A (writer/singer) is depressed and undergoing therapy when he's not at the pub.
We've never gigged (that's muso-talk for playin' live) this material, preferring the anonymity of the studio.

Our 14 track CD 'Out, Into The Void' which includes all these tracks is available to buy - see the blog above for details

Mescali also records/produces other bands... check out:
