Straighten Out – Number one tribute to The Stranglers
1st June 2024 - 7:00 pm
The Grove

STRAIGHTEN
OUT are the world’s premier Stranglers tribute band with an extensive
set-list that spans two solid hours as they re-create the ‘early years’
sound of The Stranglers, complete with a Hammond organ and Minimoog
synth; the same models used by Mr. Greenfield himself, back in the day!

The
growling bass sound and the quirky guitar riffs are all there to be
heard as is the dual vocal ‘attack’ from the two frontmen a-la
Burnel/Cornwell as they rip through the Stranglers’ classic: ‘Peaches’,
‘Hanging Around’, ‘No More Heroes’, ‘5 Minutes’, ‘The Raven’, ‘Walk On
By’, ‘Straighten Out’, ‘Down In The Sewer’ and many more as they cover
the Stranglers’ early classic albums and beyond.

Straighten
Out will take you on a nostalgia trip that transports you back to those
raw, powerful, exhilarating times when The Stranglers emerged through
the quagmire of mediocrity to produce some of the finest music ever
written. Straighten Out will put you back in that place!

Bassist
Shaggy and keyboard player Mick (‘The Doc’) were together in previous
Stranglers tribute band ‘Four More Heroes’ and it was only natural that
these two continued on after their demise to form ‘Straighten Out’ given
their love of Stranglers music and the desire to keep playing live.
They set the platform with the growling bass and swirling keyboard sound
so essential to reproducing the authentic Stranglers sound. Joining
them are Jet ‘Beets’ Beety on drums and Phil Harvey steps up to give you
the ‘Hugh’ element to complete the fearsome foursome.

Straighten Out are a must-see tribute band!
