Strange Machines

**Strange Machines** is a dynamic four-piece band blending jam-rock energy with electronic grooves, rooted in Boston’s vibrant music scene. Formed around 2010, the group—featuring Mike MacDonald (guitar/vocals), Brendan Berdowski (bass), Connor Black (drums), and Chris Giraldi (keys)—has carved out a reputation for high-octane live shows and seamless improvisation. Their sound fuses funk, rock, and psychedelia with modern electronic textures, creating a danceable yet introspective vibe that’s earned them a loyal following.

Recent tracks like “Red Dust,” “Birdseye,” and “Turn the Tide” showcase their evolution, weaving intricate rhythms, kaleidoscopic synths, and lyrical themes of resilience and self-discovery. Whether dropping studio gems or live recordings like “Tektonic (Live),” they thrive on keeping crowds moving while exploring new sonic frontiers. Touring relentlessly and lighting up festivals, Strange Machines continues to bridge raw instrumental prowess with a forward-thinking approach to groove.
