Strip Darling is a rock band founded in New York City. The band was formed in 2002 under the name “The Jacque Ryal Project” with then label Manyc records. Over the next five years, a revolving set of musicians performed and contributed to the project which lead to the core lineup of the current band. In 2007, with Jacque Ryal, Genni Yaniv, Shaheim Jackson, Elektra Carras and Dave Dawson the band was redefined as Strip Darling. The music is nocturnal, esoteric and expansive; it longs with vivid hope. Yet, however the music is categorized, the core tenet is that music is made by music lovers...and anything else can be stripped away.
