THE STRANGLERS BANNED FIRST GIG ANNOUNCED
Hi all,
Rick here from recently formed tribute 'The StranglersBanned'
We are a Kent based Stranglers tribute act, formed in the Autumn of 2010 after myself (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Jezza (keys) left the well known ska band The Skatonics and fancied trying something different. We nabbed Grahame (bass) from a list of 'mates who are bloody brilliant at playing bass' and Steve (drums) was recruited after placing an ad on the KentGigs website...luckily he was a massive Stranglers fan and knew all the songs right from day one! The final piece of the jigsaw was Pete (lead guitar) another massive fan and veteran of the tribute scene (Blurb, Kaiser Thiefs).
We have a full set list including all the obvious ones plus stuff like Tank, Nuclear Device, Dagenham Dave, London Lady, Who Wants the World, Five Minutes, and if we can persuade Pete to play it we may even drop in European Female lol!!!
Anyway, to cut a long story short we are playing our first gig on Saturday 7th May at the Beacon Court Tavern, Gillingham, Kent. Google or Facebook it and you can get all the details. We're just putting the finishing touches to our website as we speak, and have recently recorded a 4 track demo (No More Heroes, Peaches, Duchess, Golden Brown). So plenty more details to come but for now a) remember the name The StranglersBanned and b) get that date in your diaries!
I'll post the web address as soon as we've sorted the glitches. Cheers all, Rick

Seriously, all these feckin' cover bands on here should be taking notes- we're always
listing on the forum what songs we'd love to hear live, what hasn't been played for ages,
what's never been done live etc- you'ze could base yer set-lists around all our lists and
guarantee a sell-out next/every time you'ze play!
Oh, and don't forget to take on board the fact that we like our Raven and Toiler
outros to be really long, there's got to be a segue between MSD and EF and you can
never go far wrong with a couple of strippers on stage too.
Preferably female, of course.
