Hopefully they will get enough media attention to get enough ticket sales to make it worthwhile.

That makes sense. I've streamed twice now and quite enjoying it

Yes...the number of folk that this will appeal to will be quite small. I was quite surprised that they have taken a punt on s tour. I'm going to see them in London, intrigued about what they might play to make a full set!
I'm sure they will play a few songs from their respective bands to flesh out the set, maybe I've been to harsh? But I'm a hard Bastard :smt005 I heard a song and it sounded pretty good,worth going to see for Mr Gray.Lt Kudu.

Not heard the album yet but surprised they didn't call themselves "the stranglers". Guess there's time yet

This album is far better than j was expecting. Some absolutely cracking songs on it. Have been listening on Spotify today - it’s really very good.

Naughty boy!

The album is a bit more blusey than I imagined. Some nice playing, esp from Mr Gray - I love his bass work.
Keyboards are great - lots of Supergrass touches in there.

Let's see!

Agree, a 60s british blues vibe which I quite like. And yes, Mr Gray is one of my fav bassplayers too

Gonna give it a spin later. I bought that Gray Cells album with Sensible and Paul Gray and was disappointed so I hope this is better.

The first Sensible Gray cells was good. Second was mediocre at best!
