SEVEN Stranger Than Fiction

Postby ocean » Thu Jul 24, 2003 12:48 pm

One of those semi-obscure English one-single wonders from England who released one 7 inch / one 12 inch for their "Stranger Than Fiction" synth / wave single in 1984.....the 12 inch had an extended version and both formats had the b-side "The Outsider". Does anyone know what happened to this band after the release of this single? Any information would be great. After almost 20 years this one still remains a mystery!!

Stranger Than Fiction were a Wakefield (UK) based band which no doubt quit the biz and got proper jobs. I have an LP sampler from the north of England circa 1981 called "Hicks From The Sticks" which contains a song by them but no notes on them I'm afraid

Thanks for the effort - but, unfortunately it is not the same band. I guess this one might remain a mystery.
