Strange Names is a Minneapolis duo comprised of Brooklyn native Liam Benzvi (left) , and Minneapolite, Francis Jimenez (right). The two met while studying at the University of Minnesota, and in 2010 began collaborating on the dream-pop project that would eventually mature into Strange Names. After some internet buzz from the UK, and some radio play in the US, they enlisted a couple of local musicians and friends to put together a live act. The group is currently working on their second EP with a release date set for fall 2012.
