Clash 'N' Sleazy

If you have been looking for something a bit different for your Saturday night plans, there is a show coming up on June 20th, 2026, that focuses on the catalogues of The Clash and The Stranglers. It is called Clash 'N' Sleazy, and it is taking place at The Brunswick in Hove. Rather than being a standard tribute act, the group behind this project is made up of musicians who have played with bands like the UK Subs, Chords UK, Chelsea, and Bruce Foxton’s solo project. They describe themselves more as fans of the music than a traditional tribute band, which seems to influence how they structure their set.

The performance format is quite specific: they play four songs from each band in chronological order. They save the well-known classics for the end of the second set, which allows them to mix in deeper cuts and less common tracks throughout the evening. It is a structured approach that covers a fair amount of ground for anyone interested in the discography of both groups. The doors at The Brunswick open at 19:30, with the music starting at 20:00. It is worth noting that this is an 18+ event.

Regarding the logistics, tickets are currently priced at £12, plus a £1.20 booking fee, bringing the total to £13.20. If you are planning on grabbing dinner before the show, the venue offers a 20% discount on food for ticket holders during the two hours leading up to the doors opening. It is a straightforward setup at a familiar local spot, and if you are a fan of that era of music, it might be worth checking out the details on the venue's website or the ticket platform to see if it fits your schedule.
