An Old School Meets New School Approach Yields

Model Stranger’s Debut Record “Dreams and Bones”

Official Record Release Show is Saturday April 24^th, 2010 at Cubby Bear, Chicago

Model Stranger’s debut record release Dreams and Bones is set to raise the bar for the independent rock scene in 2010. An eclectic synthesis of psychedelic grunge and classic rock, the power trio will be embarking on a 16 day Midwest tour leading up to the official release of their debut full length record Dreams and Bones at the Cubby Bear Chicago on Saturday April 24^th, 2010.

Model Stranger will take the stage at 11:00 pm on April 24^th. Chicago native acts Verona Red, 20 Mark Helga, The Flavor Savers and Cavalry will also be on the bill. Tickets for the show are available for $8 presale and $10 the day of show on Ticketmaster.

Taking a live performance driven approach into the studio to record their debut record like so many of the great classic rock bands of the 1970s, the band captures an energy and excitement in their music vacant in most indie rock releases today. While the record exhibits an intoxicating raw and authentic quality in part thanks to an analog recording process, the band utilizes their production skills and chops to deliver a record with a twist of modern finesse.

While the phrase “making a record,” is usually used in a figurative manner these days in a digital world, Model Stranger is taking it literally. Following through on a record that began with an organic recording process, the band is planning a special release with select material to be released on vinyl as well as their full length CD.

Model Stranger is singer/guitarist Stephen Francis, bassist Kevin James, and drummer Vincent Joseph. During the recording of Dreams and Bones, Model Stranger was also able to play live shows with popular national acts such as Our Lady Peace and Local H.
