[kj] OT: nu Stranglers

I think I'll take a chance on them next time then. They're far more suited 
to being a 4-piece rather than having some IggyPop-like character hanging 
from the lighting rig!!  Saw 'em on the first tour with the new guy and 
could never go back... but this seems like it could be worth a view.  I'll 
still miss Hugh's terrible jokes though!
