Title: The Strypes
Post by: dmooney99 on Aug 17, 2014, 10:30 AM
Anyone ever hear of this band?  Saw they were playing near me on Wednesday and was thinking of going.  Checked some of their stuff on youtube.  Sounded pretty good.  Kinda sounds like blues/garage rock.

Pretty cool.  Found a full performance, pro-shot.

My buddy loaned me one of their records.  Been meaning to listen to it.

Exciting new band. And what's not to like? Maximum R&B mixed with Jeff Beck era Yardbirds = a perfect combo.

I can't believe I'm just reading this thread now and could have gone to the 9:30 Club tonight (OK, maybe it's now yesterday) if I had read earlier. :angry:

Caught them last night in philly.  Almost didn't make the show cause i had movie screening to Sin City 2, but that was a short movie and by the time i got there it was just before 10 and as soon as i got in the venue they had started.  They were real good, nothing mind blowing or anything but I pretty enjoyable.  These guys were very young though,  I think the drummer and bassist/harmonica guy were about 16.  The lead singer and guitarists were a little older.  They had good stage presence though.  I recognized a handful of songs from the videos i saw earlier.  They also played a lot of covers like "Louie, Louie" (they ended with that and Rockaway Beach.  Surprised they played for like and hour and a half.  I was expecting like an hour show.  One thing that kinda sucked was they didn't have any cd's at the merch booth, just t-shirts and posters.
