PromoTheRobot Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) I have to work late so I may miss some of the show. They are in Boston at the Brighton Music Hall, a fairly intimate venue. I didn't know they were still around, much less touring. I loved these guys for years but I wonder if age and missing Hugh Cornwell will diminish them. I saw New Order on Jimmy Kimmel a while back and was aghast at how bad they were. Any Stranglers fans here?

PTR saw they had "re-formed" though, hopefully, not "reformed." they have a new album out. not sure how much they can deliver at this stage of their career, but i can say this: saw them on Halloween night in the early 80s at the old and now closed and converted into a TV studio Concert Hall in Toronto. what a frightening and intense show. the smell of black leather in the crowd was very memorable, too. hope you enjoy. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Saw the Stranglers at the Continental in lovely Buffalo, NY many, many years ago...probably somewhere between 1983-1987...they were great then! A Stranglers classic...great for any summer mix-tape... Edited June 4, 2013 by Buftex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
