Re: You wait for years, then two come along at once...
OK, done some research. The Strangled are an 'offshoot' of rock covers band Vocal Harum, here seen playing The Purp's Smoke on the Water... not arf mate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEBVtMn_ ... re=related
They've got two gigs booked next year - one at Cardiff's Millenium Centre (playing as both The Strangled and VH): http://www.sonofmongoose.com/12.html and the other at The Shed in Leicester on Sunday the 6th of Feb, which is an audition for the prestigious Glastonbudget tribute-band festy in Leicestershire (in May). The Shed venue is holding auditions of tribute acts every Sunday: http://www.glastonbudget.net/getyourbandon so no guarantee they'll get it... we'll see.

Bummer - would have tried to check them out in Cardiff on the 9th April, but i'll be in Belgium to see The Stranglers on their accoustic tour. Oh well, never mind...

Things seem a little quiet on The Strangled front at the moment and I have still yet to hear this Stranglers "tribute" in any shape or form.
However I think we can now finally take a look at them, just a still picture though but gives an impression of what they are about
At least they'll fit on the smaller stages on the circuit

Lets not slag 'em off completely. They gotta be fans like us, surely.

"Why would you expect anyone of them to be a member of this forum I'm sure that Stranglers fans & tribute fans can exist without this forum.....which indeed they do/have done so far. That's the problem with some folk on this forum, they think that they are some kind of elite by being a member on here. It ain't true! There's loads of fans out there who don't give a fuck about farty internet banter between the anoraks and saddoes who basically go on about fuck all BUT just get on with being fans, like they have been doing for years. Unlike many on here".[/quote]

Re: You wait for years, then two come along at once...
Never had the feeling, nor met anyone on here being or indeed acting 'Elite'
Met loads who are more knowledgable about things and are willing to have discussions and indeed value my opinions about things in black.
Loads of 'in' jokes, which are bourne out of meets/adventures @ MIB gigs etc.
If you read the posts closely, you can work out what they are and who they are about.
I'm looking forward to meeting more people in March as I have to travel to get my fix, see you in the sewer!

To be fair, Jim, froggy's post consisted mainly of a failed attempt to quote Mr Spooner from earlier in the thread.theraven1979 wrote:I wouldn't even give it an answer
