Aural Sculptors - The Stranglers Live 1976 to the Present


Welcome to Aural Sculptors, a blog aimed at bringing the music of The Stranglers to as wide an audience as possible. Whilst all of the various members of the band that have passed through the ranks since 1974 are accomplished studio musicians, it is on stage where the band have for me had their biggest impact.

As a collector of their live recordings for many years I want to share some of the better quality material with other fans. By selecting the higher quality recordings I hope to present The Stranglers in the best possible light for the benefit of those less familiar with their material than the hardcore fan.

Needless to say, this site will steer well clear of any officially released material. As well as live gigs, I will post demos, radio interviews and anything else that I feel may be of interest.

In addition, occasionally I will post material by other bands, related or otherwise, that mean a lot to me.

The Vibrators The New Regent Brighton 17th March 1978


Now here's a band that most certainly supported The Stranglers at their very first gig no less at the Hornsey Art College in North London in March 1976. Again they are another band still gigging, however as a rule the only original member is the drummer, although the original line up were apparently on stage last night in Islington to mark their 40th anniversary. Anyone on here go?

Here's the band from '78 recorded in Brighton.
