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.

Bauhaus Tiffany's Leeds 25th April 1982

 


Another request from an attendee of this appearance by Bauhaus at Tiffany's in Leeds. Personally I love Bauhaus... absurdly pretentious but with a hidden sense humour. Who would have given credit to the fact that 'Spy In The Cab' is about something as mundane as a lorry's tachograph!

Of that post punk/goth scene they stood a bat's wingspan apart from their competition.

Thanks to Edge from 101guitars for the download.

Sounds like there could have been a bit of an issue with heavy handed bouncers on the night.
