The music IS enough

About Me

The music is enoughAll music should be made with guts. Your music, their music, our music.
Drawing on a vast melting pot of influences that range from the rock funk brilliance of the Red Hot Chili Peppers to the astonishing bluesy vocal harmonies of Gomez, to the indescribably unique Radiohead; all mixed together with Rush, Kelly Joe Phelps, The Jon Butler Trio and the Cocteau Twins to name but a few StrangeA is the outcome of dedicated friends with a mutual obsession for creating music.
strangeA are:
Nicola - Vocals: Fiesty, firery, fun, floating, turning, changing. Both broken and fixed yet neither.
Dan - Vocals, guitar: Relentless enthusiasm, now, now, now. Sensitive stroker of chord and heart.
John - Bass: spiritual, dependable, tireless myspace and facebook Trojan with fingers of WOW.
Simon - Guitar: Supple swarfeger ready to squeeze, easy to please. Sharp wit ready to fit.
Alex - Drums: Tall, dark, handsome, ready to deck your boat with his gorgeous body.

“it's their music that really matters, and I'm glad to say that it's rather good.”

“embittered lyrics, which have more bite than you'd expect from something this radio-friendly.”

“There's clearly a very competent band behind the simple-but-effective backing, and the production is admirably slick.”

“all in all StrangeA have done a good job of walking the tightrope between mass appeal and schmaltz. I suspect that Nicola's disjunct vocal melodies, sung in a British accent, will find a welcome home in the current landscape of UK pop."
