The Stranglers performed by Straighten Out
Lewes Con Club
Friday 29th October 2021
Doors 7.30pm - 11pm
OUT are the worlds' premier Stranglers tribute band... with an
extensive set-list that spans two solid hours as they re-create the
'early years' sound of The Stranglers, complete with a Hammond organ and
Minimoog synth, the same models used by Mr. Greenfield himself back in
the day!The
growling bass sound and the quirky guitar riffs are all there to be
heard as is the dual vocal 'attack' from the two frontmen a-la
Burnel/Cornwell as they rip through Stranglers' classics... inc. Grip,
Something Better Change, Golden Brown, Walk On By, Tank, Straighten Out,
5 Minutes, Down In The Sewer and many more as they cover the
Stranglers' early classic albums and beyond...Straighten Out - live and
unleashed - will take you on a nostalgia trip that transports you back
to those raw, powerful, exhilarating times when The Stranglers emerged
through the quagmire of mediocrity to produce some of the finest tunes
ever written...Straighten Out will put you back in that place!Bassist
Shaggy and keyboard player Mick ('The Doc') were together in previous
Stranglers tribute band 'Four More Heroes' and it was only natural that
these two continued on after their demise to form 'Straighten Out' given
their love of Stranglers music and the desire to keep playing live
...they set the platform with the growling bass and swirling keyboard
sound so essential to reproducing the authentic Stranglers sound
...joining them are Jet 'Beets' Beety on drums and Phil steps up to give
you the 'Hugh' element to complete the fearsome foursome...Straighten
Out are a 'must see' tribute band who'll leave an indelible impression
in your head...
