Bio
Spanning multiple classic genres of rock, including 70's Glam, Punk, and Power-pop, StrangeGun is here. The band was formed in 2010 by former Bombs Over Berlin mastermind, Jim Gauge and "Pinball" Bobby Pearson of The Dead Bohemians. The two met while working in a musical instruments store and began comparing notes and record collections. It wasn't long until a band was in the works.
During the 2010 SXSW Music Festival Gauge met local Austin promoter and bassist Geoff Robinson. The three had a one-time jam in Gauge's apartment, but realized they needed solid material. Robinson spent the summer in Santa Fe, New Mexico playing with Dean Station. He agreed to regroup with the Gauge and Pearson in the fall, and that's exactly what happened. By this time the two had recorded several demos, and Robinson quickly picked up the new material.
Rounding out the band was drummer Travis Rea, a friend of Pearson's family. The four-piece began rehearsals on 20 Oct 2010. The band will be breaking into the Austin, San Marcos, and San Antonio music scenes in early 2011, and will spread to more markets later in the year. The boys are busy recording their debut EP and writing more material.
