The band comment: "The alt rock brother to ‘Don’t You Want Me Baby’ Is, by proxy, exactly what it says on the tin - a catchy XTC inspired jagged love story gone wrong.
"I used to work in the same nightclub that I used to drink in on my nights off. The kind of club you always say you’ll never go back to after stumbling home from at 2am, only to repeat the pointless rollercoaster all over again the next day.
"An anthem for anyone stuck in the same rut being lectured by drunk people you don’t know wondering if this is all life can offer.
"First world problems? Perhaps. But who isn’t a hot mess at 2am at a nightclub bar, get over it."
Blue Stragglers, consisting of Lee Martin (vocals/guitar), Ali Waite (bass) and Andy Head (drums/backing vocals) have done things on their own terms since their earliest days. From the get-go, the industrious group were keen to find a HQ. So, when their local pub The Dunn Horse closed, the band managed to strip the place before it was converted into apartments, and they transported the entire pub interior into Lee’s house. From this eccentric setting, the band have regularly curated and hosted gigs at the house, newly named as The Denne Horse.
Coming from Horsham, England, Blue Stragglers are here to turn your head and leave their mark. The threesome appear to run on a mixture of adrenaline and telepathy, combined with an unbridled gift for creating supremely captivating fuzzed-up bangers.
In addition to a plethora of talent, the power trio also have an undeniably strong work ethic and have relentlessly gigged throughout the country, racking up prominent supports with Wolfmother, Zakk Wylde’s Black Label Society, Kid Kapichi, We Are The Ocean, and Phoxjaw, as well as a breath-taking appearance at 2022’s Download Festival. Last year, the three-piece also delivered their self-titled debut EP to high praise from BBC Introducing, Kerrang! Radio, Planet Rock and Gigslutz among others. Encouraged by the success of the release, Blue Stragglers were snapped up by esteemed independent label, Hassle Records (Brutus, Casey, Ithaca).
The foundations are now set, and Blue Stragglers continue to make their mark with 'Existential Crisis In A Nightclub' and previous single 'Running It Dry'. The tracks showcases the band's already-trademark fuzz groove - an explosively infectious statement. The start of something new. A sea of change. A tidal event. 2023 will be filled with touring and the launch of the band’s new EP. Blue Stragglers have been waiting for you.
