A load of you probably know that the Stranglers are on tour and have an album in the charts for the first time in ages. New album is full of very strong material.
But look, surely there is no other man out there who has done more for the cause of bass and getting people to pick up and play a bass.
I saw him and the band on the Portsmouth and Brighton dates of the tour last week. The guy is an absolute legend. Cool as you like. None of this stand at the back accompanying the guitarist or complementing the singer for him. Nope, his bass is right up there in the front of the mix driving the song. In many cases, The Stranglers' songs were developed from bass riffs.
If you can get along to any of the remaining dates of the tour - then do it.
