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.

The Pogues 'Saturday Live' BBC Radio 1 13th April 1985

 


Feeling inspired this week to post some more material from The Pogues. Shane is undoubtedly one of the greatest artistic talents to have emerged from the London punk scene, and that is no small claim when you consider the luminaries that credit their creative inspiration to that thing we call punk.

This short radio session captures the band between the release of 'Red Roses For Me' and 'Rum, Sodomy & The Lash'.

More Pogues to come. Thanks to Malcolm 769 for this one.
