The Strange
I like it techno, I like electro, I like it trance, it all makes me dance; I like progressive; I dont like rock, its too aggressive, not sure about pop; I like it acid, it came with house, I'm feeling funny, I'm feeling grouse...but First There Was HOUSE MUSIC!
THE-STRANGE is an audio/visual concept that has been in development since 2000. The media of THE-STRANGE branches into a wide range of themes and blends together a disturbing palette of intense music and soundscape and startling imagery. THE-STRANGE aspires to create an experience for their audience that is both unique & reflective while also being strange and unsettling.
The Strange are a five-piece Melbourne garage band consisting of vocalist Pete Whelan (ex AutoPilot), drummer Quang Dinh (Naked Bodies, ex Little Red), guitarist Ian Williams (ex AutoPilot), guitarist Phil Hunt and Mitchell Jones. The band formed when one day they woke up together in a strange room without any windows or doors and no recollection of the previous 48 hours. Upon their release, they immediately formed The Strange and set about crafting swampy rock n’ roll influenced by the strut of Exile-era Rolling Stones and the psychedelia of the Doors. Honing their chops on the Melbourne live scene, a chaotic live show soon developed. They’ve shared the stage with the Preatures, played at last year’s Chopped Festival and have toured Australia with their previous two singles. Beat magazine called them “part gypsy caravan and part psychedelic meltdown." They were unanimously selected by a panel of music industry peers to win the launch competition hosted by music website EatNoise,
