Remission Statement
We have been asked to define our music as alternative, but to what?
The Strange Game Bio
Formed in 2009 with the delusion that conscription was coming back and this was a way to avoid the draft. Band members Ellis Cohen and Tim Capps decided that because they had worked together in technology then music was the obvious next step. The Band has written many songs that no one has heard yet because they decided it was in the public interest. They are hoping that this ingenious new strategy will propel them to the heights of mediocrity. The few songs that have escaped can be found at the post office (otherwise known as the internet) under Most Wanted a new owner. These songs are house trained and very good at being loyal and protective, they are particularly good for the auditory challenged.
We are currently running an adopt a song program for the nominal fee of $0.99. The money will be used to find more songs that need a loving home. We are hoping this will rid the world of orphan songs once and forever, so we can leave this world better than we came.
The Strange game website at www.thestrangegame.com says something about Life’s Great Journey; this is an obvious trick of false advertising and the Strange Game disavows anything the Strange Game says, this bio will explode in sixty seconds.

Ellis Cohen – Believes he single handedly brought down the financial system in 2008 by pressing the wrong button. His misguided curiosity at walking up to things and saying “Oh I wonder what this does” has led him to be on the restricted list at Norad. He was born in Crumpsall Manchester and lived with a group of migrant gypsies until they were able to lose him by a combination of throwing stones at him and becoming accountants. He left England for the safety of a war zone in Israel where he immediately went to the Lebanese border to see what all the fuss was about. After the Israeli authorities revoked his Jewish heritage and handed him back his foreskin he deported himself to a place he thought he would fit in, Los Angeles, California.
In the belief that “The Ballad of Jed Clampett” was an omen he spent a number of years as a Costumer, Costume supervisor and finally Costume designer. Where his famous creation the, “Jock Strap of Jack Dempsey” is still on the display at the Hollywood Museum of the Insane.
After an argument over the fact that, “Lucky Luciano” was not that lucky, he was escorted from the studios and his safety pins taken away from him.
Lost and adrift he went back to school to learn computer plumbing an arcane study that most sensible people have never heard of. A career of consulting and jobs led to the inevitable question “What is it that I actually do?” Armed with this quest he began to write, but unfortunately his first tries were unsuccessfully as the remnants of his Jewish heritage compelled him to write from right to left instead of left to right. An accident with a mirror and a water buffalo (an untold story) gave him the secret ingredient to writing coherently. The rest is history (whatever that means).

Tim Capps – Better known as Tim Capps was also born in England, this was not planned. He grew up, although this was against his better judgment. Later in life he moved to Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Lake Arrowhead and sometimes for reasons unexplained, a town in New Jersey. This aimless drifting was the perfect Launchpad to becoming a technologist, after a similar career of Consulting and Jobs Tim finally found his niche in insurance.
The excitement and playfulness, camaraderie and spontaneity of the insurance industry are well known and it was a natural draw for Tim’s Talents. But with the growing concerns that he was missing something, Tim was staring at the phone one day, when for the first time in weeks it rang. Never paralyzed in any situation he sprang to action and picked it up, he remembers the immortal words etched in his mind when a voice on the other end said “Do you want to come over and play?” Of course this disembodied voice belonged to fellow band member Ellis Cohen and the answer to that question has yet to be answered.
Tim Capps puts the “eek” in “Geek” and as long as his pet snakes don’t know he’ll be alright.
In the hobby of snake wrangling Tim proudly holds the record for the number of fishermen’s knots tied in a reticulated python, and this is not easy to do as the fishermen often complain.
