Wow...sounds great; however, how is RATTUS going to sound without keyboards????????????

Seeing the show in NJ Friday.......the songs still hold up fine wo keyboards.

Saw the show last night in Los Angeles. The opening set was roughly 50/50 Hoover Dam songs and Stranglers chestnuts. 2nd set was Rattus.

For the encore, Frank Infante (of Blondie) joined for cover of "Rip Her To Shreds," which sounds like it could have been a Stranglers song with Hugh singing.

The rhythm section was great..the bass player really nails JJ Burnell's sound. Hugh was in good form.

Still...this would be so much better if the band had a keyboard player. "Down In The Sewer" really suffers, and kind of drifted into a formless surf rock jam.

All said, I'm not complaining about getting to see this in my own 'hood for only $12.00!
