STRAIGHTEN OUT are the premier Stranglers tribute band out there?if you were lucky enough to be in the audience last time around in The Dublin Castle you?ll know what a superb experience this is.

Not just a tribute- as sincere and assured an expression of The Meninblack?s best works as you could possibly hope for. And it?s a great fit in The Dublin Castle.
With an extensive set-list that spans two solid hours, Straighten Out re-create the ?early years? sound of The Stranglers, complete with a keyboard rig that is the same model as the original used by Mr. Greenfield himself in the 1970?s?!
The growling bass sound and the quirky guitar riffs are all there to be heard as is the dual vocal ?attack? from the two frontmen a la Burnel-Cornwell as they rip through all the classics: ?Peaches?, ?Hanging Around?, ?No More Heroes?, ?5 Minutes?, ?The Raven?, ?Walk On By?, ?Straighten Out?, ?Down In The Sewer? and many more. 

Straighten Out cover virtually the whole of the first three Stranglers? albums and beyond?
Straighten Out ? live and unleashed ? will take you on a nostalgia trip that transports you back to those raw, powerful, exhilarating times when The Stranglers emerged through the quagmire of mediocrity to produce some of the finest tunes ever written?Straighten Out will put you back in that place?! 

We Got Killers ? DJ til 2am will hit up a couple of Stranglers tunes that didn?t make the set too no doubt, plus other contemporary punk, post punk and New Wave flavours, before spinning off into supereclectic disco hyperspace. Strap in.

Description

The Dublin Castle is a legendary pub and music venue located 2 minutes away from Camden Town tube station. It has been run by the same family for over 28 years and features 4 live bands every night as well as a great selection of beers, ciders and wines.

There are DJs after the bands on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and a fabulous jukebox in the front bar if you’re after a more relaxed atmosphere.

But what is it that makes the Dublin Castle the long-standing centre of the indie rock universe? Is it because it’s Madness’ birthplace? Because its stage has been graced by everyone from Blur, through Coldplay, Supergrass, The Killers, The Arctic Monkeys, Billy Bragg, etc? Is it because it was no surprise to see Amy Winehouse behind the bar serving costumers? Or Suggs? (who, mind you, tended to ignore costumers and serve himself) Or is it because far from being just another Camden venue it has established itself as an indie rock institution? The answer is that it’s not only because of its musical heritage that people come to the Dublin Castle, it’s because whilst you enjoy a pint, play some tunes on the jukebox, check out the live bands, get your dancing shoes on for our DJs, chat to our friendly staff or even stage-invade a little, you’re inadvertently being part of this movement the Dublin Castle leads, this cultural legacy. Expect no castle battlements. Just pure rock and roll royalty.
