Shotgun Blues

The Sunset Strip emerged out of the vibrant 80s Australian indie music scene with very different slant to the Detroit sound that was predominant. Mining a seam of guitar-heavy music that stretched from The Byrds to Crazy Horse to Krautrock to Eno-ambience and beyond, the band was critically but never commercially successful and fell apart in 1995 with one album unreleased. That album, Stone Lazy, came out in 2015. It saw The Strip at the height of its creative powers and fulfills every bit of the band's early promise. The Strip has was been reborn in 2017 with Warwick and Andy recording and releasing a new album in 2017 called 'The Endless Sea'. This is an album that builds on the psych instrumentals that dotted all their original releases. After the success of this release the band expanded the new approach even further, folding elements of Lemmy-era Hawkwind psychedelic-grunge and musique concrete to create the 2019 album Crystal Ships Infinite Arrivals. Again the the experime tsl approach was expanded into the epic double album Open City that has just been released as of April 2023. This is guitar music at its broadest - from maelstrom to melody to ambient pulse. Prepare to be swept away.
