OT: Familiar Looking Strangers

Just wondering if anyone here has heard of this band from Liverpool and your thoughts on them. They were here in the states recording an album and doing some live shows and I thought they were pretty good.

No Steve, I haven't, sorry. But since you are an old time member of IORR, you should know that when a thread is Off Topic (not Stones) you should put OT: in the title of the thread.

Sorry about that. Does it count if I thought they kind of had a Stones sound? I will be more careful in the future.

And you used to remind the teacher when she forgot to assign homework.

They don't look familiar--wait! Is that John Fogerty singing lead?.... No, guess not. Hey! That guy on the left--that's Mick Jones from the Clash.... No, familiar looking but still a stranger. That guy on the far right--is that Mark Knopfler?.... No, must be the lighting or something. Hey! That guy in the red shirt is Johnny Marr.... No, only at first glance.

Well, I suppose they are aptly named--they do look somewhat familiar, for a group of strangers.

Yes nanny, but only because you threatened me with severe punishment if I didn't do so

I am just giving you a hard time for scolding the OP for not using the OT prefix. Too many bosses.

Never heard of Familiar Looking Strangers. I will have to go onto youtube and listen to a few clips. I do not listen to many newer bands. My brother said once that my music collection ends at the year 1980.

They have some songs posted on their website. I think the song "The Letter" is pretty darn good. [www.familiarlookingstrangers.com]

The videos on YouTube show more acoustic performances but when I saw them live they rocked pretty hard.

OK I know I was off topic but this old lady is getting way more comments than the band I asked about. I truly was wondering what others thought of them and as usual we're talking about everything but the original subject which was have you heard of them and what do you think of their music.

So after more than two weeks all I have gotten was some babble and a repeating picture of some old lady. Did anyone take the time to listen to them? Must be pretty good since they are rumored to open some shows for Hawkwind this year. The show I saw they opened for Sheryl Crow and got a good response from her audience.

Updating about this band because I just saw that they are opening for Badfinger when they come to town. They are also in the works to open for some other big name bands this spring/summer although I'm not sure who yet (might be Hawkwind). Again just wondering if anyone has listened to or seen them?
