Baz Warne (born 26 March 1964 in Sunderland,
United
Kingdom) is the current guitarist and co-vocalist of The
Stranglers. He has played as the guitarist/vocalist of
numerous bands, including the Toy Dolls, the Troubleshooters, Smalltown
Heroes and Sun Devil. Smalltown Heroes released the world's first ever
interactive CDd-rom single with "Moral Judgement", including the band's
history, the video for "Moral Judgement", and gig footage.
He sings lead vocals on many of tracks contained on The
Stranglers' most recent studio album, Suite XVI,
and in live gigs sings the vocals that would previously have been sung
by Hugh Cornwell. Baz is credited by many Stranglers fans, old and new,
as injecting a new lease of life into the band, both in the studio and
in its live shows.
