Description du concert
THE STRANGLERSFormés en 1974, The Stranglers adopte l’attitude no bullsh*t du mouvement punk de l’époque tout en créant un son qui leur est propre grâce. Leurs trois premiers albums, Rattus Norvegicus, No More Heroes et Black and White) sont couronnés de succès grâce aux titres Peaches, No More Heroes et Walk On By. The Stranglers figure 24 fois dans le Top 40 des ventes et 19 fois dans le Top 40 des albums au cours d’une carrière qui s’étend sur six décennies.Avec un son unique combinant des mélodies brillantes, une agressivité sombre et un flegme so British, The Stranglers est désormais reconnu comme l’un des groupes les plus influents à avoir émergé de l’ère punk.En 2019, ils sortent leur 19e album, 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, et mettant en évidence la créativité continue du groupe grâce à l’exploration intrépide de nouveaux territoires musicaux.En 2024, alors que The Stranglers approchent de leur 50e anniversaire, leur capacité à toucher le public 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 event - we'll organised, everything worked smoothly and easily.
The venue - well the catering was not great.As expensive as the Co-op Live in Manchester last week for quality and quantity that was ... not. But other than that Caldicot Castle was epic - a truly gorgeous little venue with character and everything you'd want in an intimate setting. And no queues for entry, decent loos, bar, food.
The bands - first support and Buzzcocks were OK. Stranglers were super with set about the right length, great music as ever, less focus on the hits and more a spread from their 50 years.
All in all really, truly enjoyable. Easy 5 star experience.

Biographie de The Stranglers
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).
