As you all know, The Strangers put in an appearance at this year's Rebellion Festival which marked fifty years of punk and thirty years of Holidays In the Sun/Wasted/Rebellion. The Stranglers were late comers to this particular festival, but each time they have played in recent years they have been well received.
Always looking for a new angle, in my not so valuable opinion, perhaps the band could have 'punked up' proceedings a bit more, in keeping with the anniversary, with a temporary suspension of the big 80's hits in favour of some spittle flecked growlers.... 'Ugly', 'Dagenham Dave', 'Curfew'... that sort of thing. I mean 12/19 with a '77/'78 vintage is pretty good, but I like to try my luck! And great to have 'Mean To Me' captured!
Many thanks to Chatts for sharing this one. Always most appreciated!
