Jet Black was born Brian Duffy, on 26 August , 1938 in Ilford , Essex , England . He is a British Drummer with the veteran Punk Rock / New Wave band The Stranglers . Black was a successful businessman up until the mid 1970s , owning a fleet of ice cream vans, and an Off-licence in Guildford , UK called 'The Jackpot'. This establishment was the base for the early Stranglers. He became a full-time professional musician in the mid 1970s and is still currently drumming for The Stranglers, despite his advancing years. His style is usually simplistic, although ''Duchess'', and ''Down in the Sewer'', are frantic drumming songs live. In the mid 1980s, Black elected to cease playing live drums in the recording studio and used a drum synthesiser, most notably on the Feline album. He is of Irish ancestry. |
