About this concert
Formés pour la première fois en 1974, les Stranglers ont adopté l'attitude no bullsh*t du mouvement punk de la fin des années 70. Mais leur musicalité et leur menace ont transcendé le genre, créant un son qui leur est propre. Leurs trois premiers albums (Rattus Norvegicus, No More Heroes et Black and White) sont sortis à 13 mois d'intervalle et ont été couronnés de succès avec les titres Peaches , No More Heroes et Walk On By . D'autres succès suivront avec Always The Sun , Strange Little Girl et l'impérissable Golden Brown , entre autres, qui permettront au groupe de figurer 24 fois dans le Top 40 des ventes et 19 fois dans le Top 40 des albums, au cours d'une carrière couvrant six décennies différentes.Avec ce son unique des Stranglers, combinant une touche mélodique brillante avec une agression sombre et un cool sans effort, The Stranglers est désormais reconnu comme l'un des groupes les plus crédibles et les plus influents à avoir émergé de l'ère punk.En 2019, ils ont sorti leur 19e album studio, Dark Matters . Atteignant la quatrième place des charts britanniques, cet album innovant a repoussé les limites de leur son, incorporant des éléments électroniques et de rock alternatif, mettant en évidence la créativité continue du groupe et l'exploration intrépide de nouveaux territoires musicaux. Alors que les Stranglers approchent de leur 50e anniversaire en 2024, cette nouvelle étape témoigne de leur héritage durable. Forts d'une riche histoire musicale et d'une approche avant-gardiste, les Stranglers demeurent une force durable dans le monde en constante évolution de la musique rock. Leur dévouement inébranlable à leur métier, leur capacité à toucher des publics du monde entier et leur engagement à repousser les limites musicales continuent à les distinguer et à consolider leur statut de groupe de rock britannique le plus emblématique et le plus influent.

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).
