Biography

Joshua Strawn was born in a suburb of Des Moines, Iowa, grew up in Roanoke, Virginia, and currently resides in Brooklyn, New York. In Roanoke, Joshua met Jeremy Kolosine, of the seminal synthpunk band Futurisk who was then playing in a dream pop/shoegaze band called Shakespace. Kolosine invited Strawn to join the band first as a keyboardist then later as a vocalist and guitarist[[1]]. Simultaneously, Strawn took up playing bass in The Diplomats. Shakespace recorded one EP[[2]] and one LP , while the Diplomats recorded an EP which was mixed by R.E.M. veteran Mitch Easter. The Diplomats disbanded before the EP was released, and Shakespace disbanded during the recording and mixing of their last LP. Strawn moved to New York in 2004 and upon meeting bassist Ryan Rayhill, formed Blacklist. He joined Religious to Damn in 2007 and formed Vaura in early 2010.
