About Baby Strange

Baby Strange are an indie/rock band formed in 2012 in Glasgow, Scotland. The band consists of Johnny Madden (vocalist/guitarist), Connaire McCann (drummer) and Aidan McCann (bass) who share their name with a T. Rex track from the 1972 album The Slider. However, there are conflicting reports as front man Johnny Madden states in an interview with Guestlist says, " unlike people think we actually made the name up and it really stuck, and then we realised it was a T-Rex song." The three-piece from north Glasgow were friends for years. "Creating Baby Strange was a great way to show off our creative side which we didn't have the opportunity to do beforehand" says frontman Johnny Madden, as this band seems committed on bringing their contemporary punk to the nation. A unique feature of Baby Strange is that the recording, videoing and artwork of all work is done by the band members themselves. Some of the songs of the band include:

I see you walking
I see you talking
With all my friends
I'm shadowed under
You're like some thunder
I wanna be your friend

I wanna call you
I wanna ball you
All night long
In winds of passion
My whip is lashing
I wanna get you and then

Ooo you're strange
Don't lame me baby strange
Don't lame me baby

The city's shaking
I ain't faking
Baby this is the end
I'm overloaded
My head's exploded
I wanna get you and then

T. Rex

T. Rex were a British rock band, formed in 1967 by singer/songwriter and guitarist Marc Bolan. The band formed as Tyrannosaurus Rex, releasing four underground folk albums under the name. Tony Visconti (their producer for several albums) claimed in a documentary on the band that he had taken to using the abbreviated term "T. Rex" as a shorthand, something that initially irritated Bolan, who gradually came around to the idea and officially shortened the band's name to "T. Rex" at roughly the same time they started having big hits (shortly after going electric). more »
