Luxury Stranger is an English band, based in the Midlands, UK. Drawing on the darkness of post-punk, the theatre of 70s glam (Bowie/Eno/Reed/Pop) and the commerciality of 80s new wave, Luxury Stranger are a 'Jekyl and Hyde' style of band - a methodical architect in the studio and a passionate powerful monster on the ...stage. Luxury Stranger played its first gig on Friday, 5th September 2008 at Junktion 7, Nottingham (see the LS Myspace blog for details). In December 2008, Luxury Stranger signed with Major Digital (an off-shoot of Germany's Major Records). Luxury Stranger is currently playing live as often as possible to promote the 'Desolation' album and help expand the band's growing fanbase. The band is also preparing to re-start recording material for the second LS album...some of these pieces are already fan favourites in the LS live set.
