"THE
BEST PARTY BAND IN NEW YORK" Merle Ginsberg--SOHO NEWS
STRANGE
PARTY
On a hot summer day in 1980, more than a few people got
together and formed STRANGE PARTY
-- a musical group consisting of a mime-artist socialite
(Joey Arias, of Fiorucci/David Bowie fame), a TV commercial
producer-jazz singer-poet (Tony Frere), a dilettante composer
living off of stocks and bonds (George Elliott, formerly
of Come On), a successful illustrator (Page Wood, designer
of Summer '81's Bloomingdale's bag), a mad female scientist
and model (Janus, who worked with Joey and Tony in the Klaus
Nomi show), a sizzling session saxophonist (Steve Elson),
a rock and roll male secretary (Tom Kirchner, former child-actor).
The
theme of a STRANGE PARTY show
is always a surprise...be it Cocteau's "Beauty and the
Beast", "Mermaids on Heroin", or "the Beatnik Romans",
STRANGE PARTY manages to come
through as original, exotic and inspiring.
The band contains a store-house of mass multi-media capabilities--
comic strips, Broadway, holograms, video epics, not to
mention several albums worth of striking, original material.
Always
keeping an innate blend of musicianship, dynamite vocals,
theatrics, style and wit, STRANGE
PARTY has been equally well received playing clubs
for Manhattan's scene-makers and intelligentsia, or playing
for the clientele of posh restaurants, all the while keeping
at bay hordes of screaming pre-teen girls. STRANGE
PARTY hopes to tour the world to prove the ultimate
party is music and that life is indeed wonderfully strange.
