Strange World Carnival is a unique explosion of sound, crunchy rhythms and driving backbeats layered with a vocal content ! Formed in 1999 by Chris D'Angelo (guitarist/songwriter) and Sames (singer/songwriter), together they formed Megaloop Records and Plastic Rock Star Publishing. In 2000, they released SWC�s first album "Funhouse" featuring Don Preston of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention and Keith Foelch among other famous musicians. They began to perform live around Los Angeles using hired musicians, but soon they felt the need to form a permanent line up for the band. After many auditions, hailing from the punk scene of Brazil, bassist Roberta Hoffmann entered the fold. For a year SWC played with a hired drummers and as the shows went, Tim Shelton from Virginia arrived to lay down a new drum foundation for the band. The years were busy for SWC, as they have played many gigs throughout California and Nevada. Their accolades include the airing of their single "Chronic" (produced by Joe Solo, co-writer of Macy Gray's hit single) on College Radio throughout the country, local press, and received two Awards for "Most Psychotic Band", in addition to several nominations from Independent Music Awards in 2000, 2001 and 2002. In 2002 Roberta got the Award for "Best Female Bass Player" and SWC recorded a single that includes Floating Bag, Crackerjacks and Pinwheels. In 2003 SWC performed sessions with Sky Saxon of the Seeds and also released a live video called Live at the Whiskey a GoGo.
