The Stranglers

Description: The Stranglers

Jet Black: Jet Black (born Brian John Duffy on 26 August 1938 in Ilford, Essex, United Kingdom) is an English drummer and one of the founder members of punk rock/new wave band The Stranglers.Black was a successful businessman up until the mid 1970s, owning a fleet of ice cream vans, and an off-licence in Guildford, called 'The Jackpot'. This establishment was the base for the early Stranglers. He became a full-time professional musician in the mid 1970s and applied to join the Hugh Cornwell-led band Johnny Sox after reading an advertisement in the Melody Maker magazine. Johnny Sox would later evolve into The Stranglers. Black is still currently drumming for The Stranglers, despite his advancing years. His style is usually simplistic and jazz-influenced, although "Duchess", and "Down in the Sewer", are frantic drumming songs live. In the mid 1980s, Black elected to cease playing acoustic drums in the recording studio and used a Simmons kit triggered by pick-ups , most notably on the Feline and Aural Sculpture albums. He has said he is particularly fond of The Raven album because it was "the first time [The Stranglers] got major critical approval in the newspapers." He wrote a short book, Much Ado About Nothing, which detailed the riots in France which were blamed on The Stranglers' presence in 1981.

Jean-Jacques Burnel: Jean-Jacques Burnel (born 21 February 1952 in London) also known as J J Burnel, is an Anglo-French musician and songwriter, best known as the bass guitarist with the British rock band, The Stranglers.
