Strange Lot began as the bedroom project of singer and guitarist Dominic Mena in Phoenix, Arizona, before relocating to Austin, Texas in 2019. What started as a solo recording outlet gradually expanded into a full band, shaped by a DIY approach and a focus on building immersive, psychedelic recordings from the ground up. The group has since evolved into its current lineup: Dominic Mena on vocals and guitar, Cameron Martin on Drums, Levi Murray on bass, and Jason Desiderio on synthesizer and guitar. The band is now based in Austin, Texas.

Strange Lot's release history includes their debut full-length, which reached #73 on the CMJ Top 100 and was named among the Top 10 Best Albums by Phoenix Artists. They have continued to build momentum through a series of singles and live sessions, including a performance premiered by FLOOD Magazine. Their upcoming self-titled full-length marks a significant step forward, produced by Alex Maas of The Black Angels, mixed by Jim Eno of Spoon, and mastered by Howie Weinberg. The band is set to release the album via Greenway Records later this year.

The band has built a strong live presence, performing as direct support for artists including The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Angels, Kikagaku Moyo, and LA Witch. In 2024, they toured with Boogarins and closed out the year with a performance on the headlining stage at Levitation Festival in Austin alongside The Black Angels. In 2026, Strange Lot was selected as an official SXSW artist, followed by a European and UK tour in April with a featured slot at Fuzz Club Eindhoven.

Currently, Strange Lot is continuing to expand its reach with a return to Austin for a performance on the headlining stage at Austin Psych Fest, followed by a nationwide tour as direct support for Melody’s Echo Chamber in May. With a new album on the horizon and a growing international audience, the band remains focused on developing their sound and building a sustained global touring presence.
