Well I saw the Stranglers last night here at Revival in Philly-- what an awesome show. I think this is the first English band I've seen in a while that 1) weren't total hair farmers and 2) were spoiled rotten 3) were so cool to the crowd. The band did a great selection of songs, concentrating on their "Aural Sculpture" Lp which kind of surprised me considering the commercial push that "Dreamtime" has gotten. They also shocked me by doing several numbers off of the Black and White album and "Down in the Sewer" from their first LP. If you get a chance to see these guys on the rest of their tour, Do IT. They are amazingly talented on their instruments and I have not heard a better keyboard player in a long time. I was kinda shocked to see how *old* they all looked (they're all pushing 40 or already past it) -Paul Kirsch
