Strange Young Things out of Phoenix, Arizona packs a powerful punch!

Like an illicit affair with a kinky lover, Strange Young Things has got a hold on me! Reminding me of everything I love in the blues, soul, and rock of a Black Crowes or Burning Brides live set, and all the energy and heart of a raucous punk show. Though they’ve been together and performing in the valley for many years, this year marks their major breakout in the local music scene. With a southwest tour in the works to promote their new album titled “Look What They’ve Done to My Champagne Music”,  I expect you’ll be hearing even more buzz about them blowing folks away wherever they go!

Strange Young Things is made up of Corey Gloden (Guitar, Vocals), Richard Polmans (Drums, Percussion), Patrick Kelly (Guitar, Vocals). They frequently play venues across Arizona and California, and put on a show that is larger than life everywhere they go.

Strange Young Things has just finished up in the studio and is set to release their 1st full length album this coming fall with a huge blowout CD Release party at Last Exit in Tempe, AZ on September 6th. The release party will also feature local celebs The Earps, Tramps and Thieves, and Dry River Yacht Club. For more details on the party, where you can find their CD, and other upcoming appearances, please visit the Strange Young Things on MySpace

I found Avril’s New CD ‘The Best Damn Thing‘ to be very different compared to her last CD ‘Under My Skin‘. She goes from Punk Princess to Pop Idol. I’ve been an Avril fan for 6years, and I love her new CD more than any of her other CD’s mainley because for the past 2years i’ve been hooked on Hip Hop/R&B/Pop. This CD costs $11.99 and it’s worth every penny. The well known hit ‘Girlfriend’ is my favorite song on this CD because it’s fun to dance to and it always puts me in a good mood. Her not so well known song ‘Runaway’ makes me feel like life has no limits and that you should just go out and have a blast with your friends/family. This CD isn’t ALL Pop, Avril threw in a little bit of Punk, but not too much. I suppose she didn’t want to change her music genre too much.
