In 2002 the band headlined in front of over 3000 people at a Queens Golden Jubilee Celebration in the Surrey village of Upper Warlingham. Our TV debut came soon after on Sky Digital's 'TV Showcase' - performing 3 songs on a show dedicated to Up and Coming Bands. This has been aired numerous times since on the 'Men & Motors' and 'Showcase TV' Channels on Sky. The summer of 2004 saw the Band going to new heights - progressing to The Festivals, playing The Maidstone River Festival, plus an amazing slot at The Guilfest (Guildford Festival) alongside Blondie, Simple Minds and UB40. This was the springboard to becoming a regular feature on the South London Live Stages. In 2005 Strange Fashion continued to make a mark on the Live Circuit, and contributed one track ‘Tough Guy’ to a 20 track CD of Unsigned Bands entitled ‘Shards’. In July 2005 we appeared at the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool – the spiritual home of The Beatles and where they appeared 292 times. 2006 saw more live performances including bike rallies for Zinc Alloy and The Bexley Triumph Owners Club plus the recording of our debut CD ‘Retropolis’. Live performances in 2007 included a triumphant return to Guilfest, where copies of Retropolis were available for the first time. Appearing over the three days were Supergrass, Squeeze, The Magic Numbers and Madness. In 2008 the band recruited 2 new faces and is working as hard as ever and celebrated Strange Fashions’ 30th Anniversary in May 2009.
