The Strand - 2008 Bio:

Six quirky friends band together to bring you fun, dancy, riff driven industrial music. Since their inception in 1999, The Strand has produced three full length CDs, and received massive acclaim from promoters, journalists, and fans across the globe with their catchy, aggressive hits. Their music gets airplay in numerous gothic and industrial clubs worldwide and has appeared in a variety of magazines, websites, and independent movies. Featured on four nationally distributed compilations, they have launched from being a small home-based production into the ears and eyes of industrial fans across the globe.

They have supported several national acts, and performed on the main stage at Convergence 11 2005, as well as the Dark Arts Festival in Salt Lake City 2004 and 2007. To celebrate their 2008 'Destroyers' cd release, the band headed out for their first Midwest tour, and continues to book performances in and around the Southwest. With no plans to let up, the band continues to write and produce new music, and play shows, thanks to their dedicated fans.

The band does not take the conventional techno approach when bringing the music to a live scenario. Instead, a majority of the music is performed live with a drummer, four keyboardists, male and female vocals. If you have not seen a live performance by The Strand, it is really something to consider checking out.
