Strange Fascination
Strange Fascination, born from the rocky side of Stuart Blance's music owes a lot to David Bowie, Billy Corgan. This music fits neatly into pop/rock category and Stuart delivers this with great confidence and attitude.
Currently working on material with Boston producer Kerry Castonguay, and plan to hit the ground running with this band project later in the year.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
My history is as a solo artist and songwriter, have played up and down the UK in venues from Aberdeen to London stopping at various places inbetween. Recorded and released my debut album "Utopia" a few years back now which unlocked a few more doors and took me up a few levels.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Playing live is one of the major highs in my life, have loads of special moments but the funniest has to be when was playing solo at an open air concert to about 600 people and a girl came up on stage and snogged me at the end of a song, after we finished I cooly introduced the next song.
Your musical influences
David Bowie, Billy Corgan, Beck, Peter Gabriel, Beatles, its not one of these people but listening to good music inspires me to be me.
What equipment do you use?
