Sunday Selection: Strange Attractors : 28 June 2009

LifeMusicMedia Sunday Selection is your weekly view to Queensland Artists

Strange Attractors - Photo by Amelia Dowd   All are, in essence, strangely attractive, some however are more strangely than others. Emerging from today’s scattered musical turbulence, and the chaotic urban grind, seven music makers come together to dabble in psychedelic rock n roll and to observe its effects upon a new generation of hearts and minds. They are commonly known as The Strange Attractors, borrowing their name from a cereal box spouting chaos theory anecdotes, and have come to represent that curious allure that exists well outside of conventional beauty.


Influence can be traced through musical traits passed on from the Beatles, Stones, Dylan, through to Oasis, Stone Roses, Jonestown, and the Dandies, and they play these evolved sounds extensively to the growing local scene on any stage that can house them all. Butterflies and hurricanes are among their favourite things.
