City Pages Preview: blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise

Hugh's show features classic solo material as well as Stranglers hits and Glen's show features songs from his latest album plus new material.

Hugh Cornwell is one of the UK’s finest song-writing talents and accomplished live performers. The original guitarist, singer and main songwriter in The Stranglers enjoyed massive UK and European success with ten hit albums and twenty-one top forty singles, etching himself into the UK’s musical psyche with Peaches, No More Heroes, Golden Brown, Always the Sun, Grip, Nice N Sleazy, Duchess, Walk on By, Strange Little Girl and Skin Deep.

Glen Matlock is one of the most respected, if underrated British musicians. In a career that has spanned over thirty years, Glen has made indelible contributions to music as the original bass player with The Sex Pistols, formed the underrated Rich Kids, worked with a variety of artists ranging from Iggy Pop, fellow original School of ’76 Brit Punk Rockers The Damned, through to neo-rockabilly singer Robert Gordon, whilst pursuing his own musically distinctive direction where melodic and inventive rock music thrives. To cap it all, 2010 sees Glen release a brand new album – arguably the finest to bear his name – in the shape of Born Running, as well as taking the coveted bass playing role in the reformed Faces.

Sandy and the Hitmen, New Years Eve, Wild Tymes, 8 pm

Posted by DEMO On 12/30/2011 09:29:00 AM 0 comments
Sandy's sensational voice leads this strong vocal group. Their treatment of British Invasion, Alt Country & Vintage songs is fresh. The songlist is large. Good times are had. 3,000+ shows behind them, The Hitmen sing vintage rock & sweet country. They recall sixties rebellion, and they can shake the walls with anthemic rock.
