Agnes Strange was a 70's boogie rock trio from Southampton, Hampshire, England who had a sound comparable to a mix of Status Quo/Budgie. Their downfall was being signed to the Birds Nest label - a record company whose records were only sold at a string of pubs (also called Birds Nest) owned by the beer maker Watney's. As a result, sales were terrible and the band faded into history. The album Dust In The Sunlight is composed of outtakes and demos.
If the same thing happened today in the US, the album would have been released on the Chili's, or TGIF label!
