[kj] (OT) Stranglers US / Canada Dates 2013

[adrianwason at btinternet.com]

i only saw them once just before Hugh Cornwell left and they were totally amazing.might be a total red herring but when i saw the fall in 2010 the sound reminded me of that stranglers gig(newport centre 88/89?
 
so the fall are touring again!
 
Roll on May! Roll on more comedy by a band that cannot be missed by anyone who loves music and has a sense of humour

It amazed me the transition from 1976 to 1986. Up to 1982 they were solid. 
After Hugh left they made some very patchy albums. I over rated them at the time. Hindsight has taught me a lesson! Norfolk coast and suite XVI, are worth listing. These preceded giants which is a midget of an album. 




Hugh Cornwell has produced some excellent work in his last two albums and I would rather see him that the Stranglers these days. And yes, no Jet Black as he is rather frail these days. But does a bit here and there.

I'd say that's a fair comparison. The Stranglers have gone through several other permutations since then, however. Two lead singers later, Hugh is still absent from the ranks, alas.

I have limited exposure to this band. Could a true fan explain how they went from the sound on songs like "No More Heroes" to the sound on "Skin Deep" (also a good song but so different)? Was the latter a temporary diversion (like KJ's BTATS)?

Just FYI ... Jet Black will not be with them.

First North American dates in 15 years. Chicago shows apparently already sold out. Kind of like Geordie, Youth and BPF touring w/o Jaz but I would go if the tour came a little closer to Mpls.
