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.

Your comments and/or contributions are most welcome. Please email me at adrianandrews@myyahoo.com.

Wreckless Eric Lower Sproul Plaza Berkeley California 16th November 1979

 


Eric.... an English eccentric in the great musical tradition. With Stiff Records he found a natural home. I saw Wreckless once about 20 years ago in the tiny (and now gone) 12 Bar Club in London's famed Denmark Street. I always thought that Eric's madcap reputation did him a great diservice in the long run since he was and still is a songwriter of great talent.

See what you think of this recording from Berkeley back in 1979.
