Band line-up change...latest rehearsal news...gig postponements...
Unfortunately we have to inform you that Casey has retired as drummer of the band due to family commitments. Casey's input to the band during his tenure was nothing short of 100% and band members and fans alike fully appreciated his efforts and are grateful for the time he gave to the band and we hope he remembers as many happy moments of his hours playing the skins as we do...if not more...!! Our very best wishes for the future Casey, from us all...x...
But the show must go on...As you will be aware, Straighten Out have a busy year of gigs ahead to fulfil and as such have already got a new drummer in place...Micky Pataki (Micky P) - formerly of the Hungarian Stranglers' tribute band, 'Rattus Hungaricus'...he played with them for four years and is well versed in Stranglers music, he now relishes the challenge that lies ahead with Shaggy, Mick and Stu. Welcome aboard Micky...!! The band has been rehearsing recently and have more than an hours material ready to play, but as anyone who has seen them live will know, they want to get that up to their customary 2-hour show before they hit the road for their 2010 gigs...As such the gigs at 'The Venue' - Shaw, Nr Oldham (Fri. March 26th) and 'Revolver' - Birkenhead (Sat. April 17th) have been postponed. The gig in Bathgate (Scotland) at 'The Lounge', Sat. March 27th, WILL GO AHEAD as the band are co-headlining with 'Cash from Chaos' and their set will be approximately 60-75mins...sufficient for now but we know you'll demand more in future!! By the way, this gig is now SOLD OUT...!! A fine way to start the tour...!!
A cautionary note: please keep checking the gig guide over the next few days as a few more adjustments to the earlier tour dates may occur...
Cheers...

Best of luck to Micky. Sad to see Garry go - he's a top bloke.

Still hoping to catch SO in Swindon at the end of July - last time was a scream :P

Yes I'll vouch for that, Blackbeered has had 3 enjoyable evenings in their company.

Anyone else confirm this?
I tried to make him laugh, He didn't get the joke, and then he said I wasn't right in the head.

Swindon is the home of that infamous kebab shop that doubles as a toilet for a certain forum member...
