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.

Siouxsie Sioux Paradiso Club Amsterdam 4th May 2023

 


So here then is Siouxsie performing at the legendary Paradiso Club in Amsterdam. Many thanks to Chatts for sharing this recording!

I do recall an interview with Siouxsie on some long forgotten late night London culture show in which she gave vent against the so-called shoe gazing bands that were all the rage in the early 1990's. She berated them for making no effort to bring any kind of spectacle to fee paying audiences. I get that and from what I have seen of the visuals of this, her current tour, from Youtube clips, I think it is fair to say that she has upheld her side of the bargain... irrespective of her chosen footwear!
