IF the phrase "male a cappella group" conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses, Think again.
Straight No Chaser are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced and they are at the Gordon Craig on Friday.
As original member Randy Stine comments, "We take the music very seriously; we just don't take ourselves too seriously."
In the process, they are reinventing the idea of a cappella on the modern pop landscape.
Originally formed over a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, the group has reassembled and reemerged as a phenomenon – with a massive fanbase, more than 20 million views on YouTube and numerous TV appearances.
Straight No Chaser is the real deal – the captivating sound of ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense and with a sense of humour.
