Strange Idols was a band that set Sydney alight for a while in the early nineties. Playing together from 1990 through to 1996 in a couple of different configurations, first as a stripped down four piece and then a more elaborate affair involving sequencers and big production. The band played throughout Sydney and NSW, including opening for the Rebel Yell guitar challenge tour. Following interest from producer John Bee (Divinyls) and Rod "Tommo" Thomas (Triple M radio stalwart) they started recording a bunch of songs (that eventually became "Live Forever") at nights at EMI 301. About this time family commitments took one member back to NZ and so the band went out to a studio in rural NSW and just recorded the songs as they had been playing them live. It felt good to finally get something done in a short time that documented what the band was all about. It was recorded live, with minimal overdubs and processing - in one day. Capturing the live spirit of the band and exposing the essence of the songs so they may - live forever.
