People are strange

All right, enough of the Bluesfest stuff, let's go back to June and the Gaga Weekend, where punk rockers Strange Attractors are doing it 1977 style. All these folks are of course known to the Going Gaga crowd as members of The Statues, plus Eric from Ultra Violence Ray. Eric's a bouncy fellow and makes the band's Vibrators style punk jumpier still.

Jeff Houle feels the love from Ian Manhire.
