The Stranglers will return to Australia in March and this may just well be the last one.
The iconic English punk band of the 70s still features original members Jet Black on drums, Jean-Jacques Burnel on bass and Dave Greenfield on keyboards along with singer and guitarist Baz Warne who joined in 2001.Speaking to Metro in the UK, bass player Burnel said recently, "Our drummer Jet Black is 70 now. It blows me away, the fact that he continues to play 90-minute sets. He's been unwell a couple of times and his drum tech has stood in at a few festivals, but if he was permanently out, well, I don't know what I'd do, actually. We could still record, but this is our last big tour, I think.”
Stranglers hits include ‘Golden Brown’, ‘Peaches’ and ‘Always The Sun’.
Dates for The Stranglers are:
March 11, Brisbane, The Tivoli
March 13, Melbourne, Palace Theatre
March 14, Sydney, The Roundhouse
Tickets go on sale on January 30.
