Strange IdOLS formed in London in early 2004, when existing members Davey (guitar, vocals, keyboard) and Launette (vocals, keyboard) moved from the south coast to enrol at art school. They met Julian (guitars) through a shared love of the city and particular pop music, bands like Blur, Hefner, Pulp - the bands they grew up with, and decided to start their own band. They discovered a very particular band called Felt, and used a bit of the title from this groups third LP for their own moniker.
These are photos from concerts where Strange Idols played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
