Aaagh! My nearest colleagues have never heard of the Stray Cats. Not having heard of KMFDM I had sort of expected, but the Stray Cats! I'm in shock, and I think I need to go home ...

I dont really know anything about the Stray Cats either...

Heretic! [livejournal.com profile] ladycat might have to soundly punish you!

[livejournal.com profile] valkyriekaren described them as sounding "a bit like a rock'n'roll Adam and the Ants" on a first listen.

Think greased quiffs, a double bass, turnups on drainpipe jeans, a biker jacket with the collar up, and a switchblade in the back pocket, leaning on a stripped down black and chrome Model T with a supercharged Chevy V8 plant and over-sized rear tyres ...

Oh dear God.

I remember when they were new.

You kids!

Let me guess, you'd have got away with it if it weren't for us? [grin]

And that is a stunning choice of name - even if slightly gross!

And their other single ... Runaway Boys ... [grin]

Strangely, my Best of the Stray Cats CD has 20 tracks on it ... gotta love that rock'n'roll!

Heard any of Brian Setzer's solo stuff?


I know someone who used to be married to one of the Stray Cats way back then.

Not yet - but I suspect I will be doing some digging around now ... [grin] Thanks for the tip!

Yay, Stray Cats and KMFDM.. good memories..

And they're both playing London this summer (cf my post of a couple of days ago)!

Have you had a go at the lyrics quiz yet?

I haven't.. I've been very bad keeping up with LJ..

Woah, sultry iconage (and about to start scoring the lyrics quiz). Is that your "I've been very bad" face? [grin]

Ooooh! [grin] And pretty good at obscure music quizzes, too ...

my sister works in a used record shop so I get the chance to sample a large selection of obscure stuff whenever I'm in the area.. works out well.. unfortunately the owner just sold it off to Subway.. bah!

Damn. You got a good score anyway - including beating two eminent alternative DJs ...

I'm considering visit to Lacuna Inc so that I too will have never heard of The Stray Cats. Not a memory I'm particularly going to miss.
