Strangest Places' "Exit Strategy" is not a farewell
Strangest Places has gone through some changes -- especially in the somewhat tempestuous bass player role -- but Milwaukee band is still going strong and to prove it, the quintet recently self-released its fourth CD, "Exit Strategy." The disc was launched at a CD release party in late summer at the Cactus Club, not long after the quartet that recorded the disc expanded to a quintet with the addition of Damien Legault.
