Le groupe a laissé une trace inoubliable dans le monde du Rock’N’Roll avec son style boogie rock depuis sa création en 1962. Avec plus de 130 millions de disques vendus, Status Quo continue de créer, de s’améliorer et de jouer comme ils le font depuis plus d’un demi-siècle. Leurs tubes « Pictures of Matchstick Men », « In the Army Now », « Rockin All Over the world » et leurs 5500 concerts ont marqué des millions de personnes et ont fait de Status Quo un véritable monument de la musique rock. En août 2023, le groupe a sorti Live in Amsterdam, point de départ d’une sélection soigneusement élaborée de performances emblématiques de Status Quo, qui seront commercialisées sous le nom de Official Archive Series et comprendront des tubes classiques de leur vaste catalogue, des morceaux plus profonds et des favoris des fans. L’album a été fraîchement mixé et masterisé par Eike Freese et Laurin Halberstadt aux Chameleon Studios de Hambourg. 22h : The StranglersFormés en 1974, les provocateurs Stranglers s’apprêtent à enthousiasmer le public une fois de plus avec leur son britannique si distinctif ! La setlist est taillée pour le live, avec les classiques “Golden Brown”, “Always The Sun”, “No More Heroes” ou “Peaches”, auxquels s’ajoutent des titres extraits de leur dernier album, Dark Matters, sorti en 2021. Attendez-vous également à quelques surprises... Au cours de sa dernière tournée le groupe a repensé certains éléments qui viendront s’ajouter aux tubes qui ont pavé leur carrière pour un show unique. The Stranglers est incontestablement un des groupes anglais les plus excitants et influents de ces dernières décennies, avec 24 singles et 18 albums classés au Top 40.« Chaque concert des Stranglers est un événement, une rencontre sulfureuse entre la réalité et le rêve, l’équilibre entre la fureur et la beauté »« Quarante ans après leur premier hit, “No More Heroes”, ils tiennent toujours le haut du pavé, lancé en pleine gueule du disco à la fin des années 70 »

The Stranglers Biography
The Stranglers are an English rock music group, formed on September 11, 1974 in Guildford, Surrey. They were originally called The Guildford Stranglers and operated from an off-licence in the town. They also based themselves in the nearby village of Chiddingfold for a while.
Original personnel were singer/guitarist Hugh Cornwell (from kentish town, london), keyboardist/guitarist Hans Warmling (from Sweden, replaced within two years by brighton-born keyboardist Dave Greenfield), london-born bass guitarist Jean-Jacques Burnel and drummer Jet Black (a.k.a. Brian Duffy), a native of ilford, essex.
They began as a sinister sounding, hard-edged pub rock group, but eventually branched out to explore other styles of music. The Stranglers were, beginning in 1976, tangentially associated with punk rock, due in part to their opening for Ramones' first British tour. The Stranglers were also associated with new wave music as well as gothic rock, but their idiosyncratic approach never fit completely within a musical genre.
In August 1990, founding member Cornwell left the band to pursue a solo career. In his autobiography, Cornwell states that he felt the band was a spent force creatively, and cited various examples of his increasingly acrimonious relationship with his fellow band-members, particularly Burnel. The remaining members recruited two replacements, including John Ellis, who had opened for the band in the 1970s as a member of The Vibrators, and singer Paul Roberts.
Interest in The Stranglers resurfaced when, in 2001, singer Tori Amos covered their song "Strange Little Girl" and titled the album it was featured on Strange Little Girls. "Golden Brown" was also used in the hit film Snatch by film director Guy Ritchie and extensively in the Australian film He Died With A Felafel In His Hand. Their hit "No More Heroes" was covered by Violent Femmes and used for the film Mystery Men. "Peaches", finally, also appears prominently in another British movie, Sexy Beast by director Jonathan Glazer.
The Stranglers had a critical and popular renaissance in 2004 (together with their first top 40 hit for 14 years - "Big Thing Coming") with the acclaimed Norfolk Coast album and a subsequent sell-out tour. The follow-up album, Suite XVI, was released in September 2006 (the title is a pun on "Sweet 16" and also a reference to the fact that it is the band's 16th studio album).
