Strange Things Done In The Midnight Sun is an unsigned, central-New Jersey based 4 piece who have as many musical influences as there are syllables in their name ranging from Joy Division to The Cramps to Klaus Nomi. Comprised of x-members of: The Apathy Code, Don Juan Destroyer, The Brimstones and Casino Evil, they've been causing a ruckus within the New York City, NJ circuit for 3 plus years but similar to the dilemma of Sysiphus, every time they're just about to reach the the peak the weight of their own design causes them to topple back down to square one. A mini-lp entitled 'Done Waiting For The Day' was self-released last summer and a few it's tracks received modest airplay on local college stations, most notably "Petrol", "Carousel" and "Dear Ol' Dad".
After a 7 month freeze they're back with a new guitarist and a handful of new tunes but the goal still remains the same....only tenfold! That being more musical and sexual ambiguity, more audience-wide confusion, more faux-opera and, of course, more piñatas!
Who we've shared the stage with: World/Inferno Friendship Society, Bunnydrums, Glass Doll, Bell Hollow, NaNuchKa, Franz Nicolay (of the Hold Steady, Major General, etc), Montagna & The Mouth-To-Mouth, Bubble/Gum, The Chilling Details, Universal Time Clock, Some Candy, The Avowers, Casino Evil, bird songs (nj), Match Party, Plastiq Passion, The Fire And Reason, Humanwine, industro-groove "solo artist" Scott Crawford, and many more.
