Having just seen what I can only describe as the best Rush tribute band last night (Bravado) at the Diamond, I looked to see who else was on and after watching Straighten Out, I'll certainly be there on 24th Jan 2010 to see them, all the classic's from Rattus, it made me have goose bumps.
Uncannily like the real thing! The bassman plays it very well, but the bass sound is not quite right - it's bloody close, but JJs bass sounded just that little bit fatter. The lead solo is spot on.
Very, very impressed. I've (bass) tried to form 3 different Stranglers tribute bands, and always the vocals or keyboards let it down, but you've got it all in spades.
Even the bass sound you've got is right there - took me years, eventually I had to use a P-bass, Hiwatt DR103 amp and 6 feet of Hiwatt 4X12 cabs!
You guys must be real Stranglers fans to play those songs note perfect? Just like the originals i'm very impressed. When can i get to see you's play live? I live in London but i be prepared to travel to see ya's.
Full gig listing is on our website for which there is a link on "My Channel" page. They're all pretty Northern at the moment, but keep your eyes peeled for Southern shows.
You guys are Great....

Sounds like you'd be good on "Hey!(rise of the robots)" or "(Get a)Grip (on yourself)!
Great to hear from fellow Stranglers fans, wherever they are in the world. :)
