   About Strange Arrangement
.


Strange%20Arrangement
Quantcast Strange Arrangement, a Chicago-based quartet, combining what they know and love about musical genres layered with intriguingly testimonial lyrics. The members of Strange Arrangement recently reunited, in Chicago, during the fall of 2006. During the decade that passed before this reunion, the members of the band performed an array of styles from jazz to rock, reggae and funk to bluegrass, as well as Afro-Cuban and West African Music, each lending an expression to their overall sound. The members of Strange Arrangement include Joe Hettinga ..boards/vox, Bob Parlier on drums, Jim Conry on guitar/vox, and Kevin Barry on bass. Their debut release is a tight number ranging from lyrically-based folk tunes to mini-Progressive Rock epics. Their honeyed harmonies and artful ballads stream over polished and perfected instrumentation. This is all included in their new release and can be seen live around town and neighboring areas of the Midwest. With a strong bond to their native region, Strange Arrangement is here to embrace the bigger picture of live music— among those who blend it, fuse it, and funk it up. No need to pigeon-hole this band as simply jam, which could be done upon first listen. What you really get is a bumper-to-bumper traffic jam where a touch of Wilco meets the key dancing of Herbie Hancock combined with some of My Morning Jacket’s groove. Be sure to check out the new album, Side x Side and shows in your area…

You know what they say about
band members getting married
before they reach fame, right?
Anyway, it's too late now so
I won't bother to explain.
HEY! Why am I not a top friend?
Do I have to produce a light
show first? Who do I gotta
blow to get on Strange's Top..?
