Effective period / Period of releases: 2011

Strange Haze
Brooklyn, New York

Musicians: Big Sir (Michael Lo), Keith Avenue, Bushwick Ronnie Seward. With Kathleen Cholewka and Brian Hurd.

Combines heavy blues-based guitar tones, funky rhythms and a good dose of hypnotic psychedelic flourishes, topped off with simple-but-anthemic choruses and an overall jivey, blissed-out, good-time spirit.

STRANGE HAZE was previously known as WHOOPING CRANE, and under this guise the band gigged extensively since 2008 and digitally released this one six-song CD EP, "Riffin' For Rent."
