An ice cream
manufacturer and drummer who was already 40, a karate loving
guitarist who became a bassist, A bio physicist teacher and a pipe
smoking keyboardist who was originally a guitarist. From such unlikely
characters did the Stranglers grow but it certainly gave them
variety and brought a lot to the pot. The Stranglers were also a
tightly knit group who had paid their dues and learnt their craft by
playing over 400 gigs in two years (1975-77) across the country to
often very few people. The stage was set for a uniquely English band
to make its mark helped by the emergence of punk rock. Here are the
dramatis personae! |
