Gary Numan

just stumbled across a link, which lets you listen to his new album streaming for free. not bad at all if you like that sort of thing and at least he's still doing new stuff, which, of course, is commendable. http://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/read/youneedtohearthis-album-premiere-gary-numan-splinter-song...

Re: the damned & theatre of hate roundhouse dec 13th

Made a last minute decision and went to last night's Damned gig. Had a great night, spent at the front, where a rather limpwrised moshpit, got livelier and livelier until it became reminiscent of a proper punk gig. The band are ageing very well, Dave Vanian and the Captain don't look their ages. A g...

Re: the damned & theatre of hate roundhouse dec 13th

the damned are playing near me on my birthday so I'll probably go, it beats family shit and vol au vents. quite a good interview with sensible here from my local paper, nice of him to not mention the stranglers but mention the other 2 bands, hardly surprising though. not a bad little read for all th...

Bon Jovi

absolute shite and not worth mentioning on a stranglers board I know. apart from, it gives me a warm glow, knowing that my cissy workmate paid a whopping £70 for a ticket to see them at Man City's ground tonight, and that is the official going rate. for £70, I have return rail travel, a concert tick...

Re: The Fall

might see them then, :shock: only heard of them because some of my stranglers loving friends talk of them fondly. they start the tour at Clitheroe grand theatre, a great little venue, think hugh might have played there, it was all seated though last time I went.

The Fall

The Fall are touring again, I only know this because they're playing locally to me and saw an online article. Can't say I've heard any of their stuff, although I've heard of them. in this article though, it says that their only original member is Mark E Smith. since they formed they have had over SI...

Preston gig, transport etc.

we're running transport to the Preston gig from Rishton, setting off at 7.00pm (to allow for the rovers match to clear) for the short trip to the mad ferret pub or whatever it's called. obviously on a non profit basis, so it'll be less than a tenner each return, anyone wishing to join our merry grou...

the fred kennedys

a cover band playing 70's punk, they've just added a couple of stranglers songs to their set, great live.
click on the 'watch video' link on the page for a quick dose of straighten out. they do a great version of SBC as well.
