Un concert entre fureur et grâce. Nés à la fin des années 70, en pleine déferlante punk, The Stranglers ne cessent de se réinventer d’album en album, passant par le rock, le post-punk, l’électronique, la new wave et la pop. Leur son se caractérise par la basse à la fois mélodique et agressive de JJ Burnel et par les rapides arpèges de Dave Greenfield, joués indifféremment sur orgue Hammond, synthétiseur, piano ou clavecin. Sur scène et en studio, The Stranglers, ou du moins leur première formation jusqu’en 1990, se sont également distingués par un humour provocateur et des frasques devenues légendaires. Groupe très populaire en Grande-Bretagne, ils sont parvenus à placer un nombre impressionnant de titres et d’albums dans le top 40 britannique. The Stranglers entrent aujourd’hui dans leur cinquième décennie d’existence et d’activités effrénées, ce qui en fait l’un des groupes mythiques de l’histoire du rock et surtout l’un des très rares issus du mouvement punk à n’avoir jamais cessé de se produire sur scène. mercredi 4 novembre 2015 à 20h30 à La Scène Watteau durée estimée 2h prix des places de 8 à 22 € La Scène Watteau, Place du Théâtre, Nogent-sur-Marne, face à la station RER E Nogent-Le Perreux locations 01 48 72 94 94 contact La Scène Watteau Benoît Strubbe tél 01 43 24 76 76, [email protected] The Stranglers Le groupe se créé en 1974 sous le nom de Guilford Stranglers (« Les Etrangleurs de Guilford »), ceci par allusion à un tueur en série américain que la presse avait appelé « l’étrangleur de Boston ». D’origine française, le bassiste et chanteur Jean-Jacques Burnel (né à Londres en 1952), a joué pendant plusieurs années de la guitare avant de passer à la basse. Fan de moto, il se montre déjà volontiers bagarreur. Bardé de diplômes de biologie, le chanteur et guitariste Hugh Cornwell (né à Londres en 1949), est enseignant et a lui aussi une longue expérience, ayant joué dans un groupe de blues avec Richard Thompson, futur membre de Fairport Convention. Leurs deux acolytes étonnent encore davantage : ancien tenancier de bar, le batteur Jet Black (né à Ilford en 1938) a déjà 36 ans et ne s’est mis que tardivement à son instrument et le claviériste Dave Greenfield (né à Brighton en 1949), très inspiré par le son de Ray Manzarek des Doors, ne cache pas son intérêt pour les groupes de rock progressif, alors unanimement abhorrés par les punks. The Stranglers se font remarquer dès 1977 et leurs deux premiers albums, « Rattus Norvegicus » et « No More Heroes ». Portés par la voix et la diction agressives de Cornwell, leurs textes souvent cyniques, misogynes et provocateurs vont de pair avec une attitude qui mène souvent à des débordements : n’hésitant pas à donner de sa personne, Burnel multiplie les bagarres, de même, des filles peu farouches rejoignent en quelques occasions le groupe en plein concert pour se livrer à des numéros d’effeuillage plus appréciés des spectateurs que des édiles. Ces écarts leur valent évidemment une réputation peu flatteuse, qui ne les empêche pourtant pas de drainer les foules, d’avoir des groupes de renom comme Joy Division ou The Cure en première partie et de vendre un nombre considérable de disques. Suivis de près par les autorités, The Stranglers n’accusent pas le coup lorsque, mis en prison pour possession de stupéfiants, Hugh Cornwell ne peut assurer les dates d’une tournée, le groupe faisant alors appel à des amis pour le remplacer : on voit ainsi notamment Robert Smith se produire avec eux. Sitôt Cornwell libéré, les Stranglers atteignent sans doute leur zénith avec l’album « La Folie » : sur une mélodie aux accents de valse composée par Dave Greenfield , la chanson « Golden Brown » se classe dans les premières places des charts. En 1983 avec l’album « Feline », les Stranglers opèrent une nouvelle mutation : les claviers et la basse prennent l’ascendant tandis que Jet Black a recours souvent aux percussions électroniques. A partir de la tournée de promotion de son opus suivant, « Aural Sculpture » (1984), le groupe, toujours imprévisible, commence à inclure une section de cuivres dans ses concerts. De nombreux fans des débuts ont désormais du mal à suivre le groupe et vont se détacher de lui, d’autant qu’il semble moins désireux de susciter les polémiques. Malgré un dernier album à succès « 10 » (1990), Hugh Cornwell annonce son départ. Ne souhaitant pas mettre fin au groupe, J. J. Burnel, désormais seul maître à bord, recrute un chanteur nommé Paul Roberts et fait appel à John Ellis pour tenir la guitare. Malade, Jet Black est un temps remplacé avant de revenir. Il est alors clair que le meilleur du groupe appartient déjà au passé. Bien que sortant des albums régulièrement, il n’est plus suivi avec l’enthousiasme d’autrefois, l’absence d’Hugh Cornwell y étant pour beaucoup. En 1993, Burnel reprend ses activités de producteur et, assagi, se consacre davantage à sa famille. La fin des années 90 annonce la résurrection du groupe. John Ellis est remplacé par Baz Warne et les albums « Norfolk Coast » (2004) et « Suite XVI » (2006), sur lesquels les Stranglers renouent avec le son de leur grande époque, suscitent un vif regain d’intérêt chez la critique et les concerts de nos « étrangleurs » sont à nouveau très fréquentés.

George Capen Says.· During the past few days, I have analyzed this year's Alumni Fund, now at 33,500. Frankly, while I am not disheartened, the results so far are not encouraging. When the National Alumni Association accepted on behal f of all the alumni a goal of $50,000, it was done because we knew that all alumni realize the importance to Trinity of an outstanding faculty. We knew, too, that a successful campaign would depend on these two factors: ( 1) Increased contributions from those alumni who have given in the past, and ( 2) contributions from the large number of alumni who had not contributed previously. The increases are just not coming through, and the rate of new contributors is very disappointing. However, a cheering trend is the fine showing of our younger alumni, those of the Classes of '49, '50, and '51. I know that Trinity alumni are interested in the faculty both because of the importance of good teaching at the college and also in recognition of their own personal appreciation of the men still at Trinity who taught them. But we are going to have to do a lot better in this Alumni Fund if the increases in faculty salaries given last Sep­ tember are to be covered.

  • Requiem Mass the WHOLE STORY COMPILED from JUDGE’S POSTS on HIS PROJECT FACEBOOK PAGE ‘A LOST PROG-ROCK MASTERPIECE’
    Judge Smith - requiem mass THE WHOLE STORY COMPILED FROM JUDGE’S POSTS ON HIS PROJECT FACEBOOK PAGE ‘A LOST PROG-ROCK MASTERPIECE’ 24 September 2015 · So folks, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to put-up or shut-up about this blessed Requiem. I wrote it in 1973 -75, and it is perhaps my best music, but it is so demanding of resources that I’ve never before been able to contemplate recording it. Not that it’s particularly long; it’s not another ‘Curly’s Airships’, which weighed-in at 2 hours 20 minutes. It’s just a half- hour piece, but it does require the full, real-world participation of a sizable choir; a two- guitars, bass and drums rock band, a solo singer, orchestral percussion, and an eight-piece brass-section. And they all need to be good. Altogether that’s a big undertaking, but I’ve recently realised that I really don’t want to shuffle off this mortal whatsaname without having heard the thing. I would feel a failure. So I’m going to do it now while I still can. This is the story, it’s quite interesting if you are into this sort of thing... In the late 60s I co-founded a band called Van der Graaf Generator. We were one of the first wave of British bands (or ‘groups’, as they were still called) which were founded with the express purpose of developing some sort of music that went beyond the expectations of the Pop charts. Other established, and somewhat older, bands, who were already global ‘pop stars’ with strings of massive three-minute hits behind them, were also starting to move in this experimental or ‘progressive’ direction, and their millions of fans and their attendant, wealthy record companies, always eager to invest in the next big thing, meant that for a brief period of a few years, there was actually a possibility of making a career out of playing peculiar music.

ABSOLUTE EDITORIAL Absolute Editorial #3 Things are coming together nicely for us here at Absolute Underground. This is starting go be fun! We’re getting into a few free shows and people are starting to send in CD’s for us to review. We’ve got a lot of new people pitching in to make this rag better than ever. Emily Kendy joins us from Vancouver and brings with her a very impressive resume (The Nerve, Discorder, Terminal City, Exclaim...). We’ll be featuring a different Vancouver based band each issue starting with scum punks the Excessives. With the new Arena and Rod Stewart having played Victoria, you can just feel that this is going to be a great year for live music around town. I’m always impressed with the turnout and energy of the younger crowds at the all-ages shows. Even if you’re old you should go check one out sometime. You might find it invigorating to jump in a circle pit of mohawked fury. It was great hanging out with the crew at Spitfire Tattoo special thanks to Rick and Amanda. Electric Frankenstein was an amazing show and just proves that Victoria gets wicked shows all the time. A big middle finger to the asshole bouncers @ Diego’s who wouldn’t let me in even though I was on the guest list and then proceeded to tell the headlining act CHOKE to “pack their shit, they weren’t going to play.” This was after two huge idiots working the door beat up CHOKE’s drummer who weighs about a buck ten soaking wet.
