Background

Strang grew up in Dunedin, New Zealand around a family of musicians. After completing secondary school, Strang co-founded a band, Dinosaur Sanctuary. They released their debut album, ''A Public Toilet Told Me Nothing Gets Better'', in 2013. Later that same year, Strang travelled to Germany, staying with his childhood friend, Rassani Tolovaa. During his stay, Strang recorded multiple songs in a World War II bomb shelter. Upon returning to New Zealand, Strang self-released these songs in his debut EP, entitled '' A Pebble And A Paper Crane ''. After three commercial albums, Strang is currently in a band named ''Office Dog,'' a three-piece band from Auckland, New Zealand. The members of said band consist of Kane Strang (vocals/guitar), Rasanni Tolovaa (bass) and Mitchell Innes (drums). ''Office Dog'' has scheduled a 12 track release for early 2023.
