The Stragglers are based in sleepy Sacramento, California. The band features Erik Hanson (Forever Goldrush, The Cassidys) on guitars, synthesizers and vocals, Garin Casaleggio (of Baby Grand, The Miles, David Houston) on drums and Bobby Jordan (of Mr T Experience, 7 Seconds) on bass. And sometimes fill-in bass player, Skip Allums from Estereo.
The Stragglers specialize in a blissed-out, decidedly West Coast take on early 90's British rock seen in bands like Slowdive, Lush and My Bloody Valentine.
Our Motto:
"When the real music comes to me - the music of the spheres, the music that surpasseth understanding - that has nothing to do with me, 'cause I'm just the channel. The only joy for me is for it to be given to me, and to transcribe it like a medium...those moments are what I live for."
-John Lennon
"You can never have too many sleepy songs - there is a fine line between overkill and the correct dosage of Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Ros records used to sing you to sleep. Not to fear, because the shoegazing Stragglers can be added to your bedtime playlist - start out with the song "Tired Eyes."
-The California Aggie, UC Davis
