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.

EXTC Islington Assembly Hall 25th January 2024

 


So old Hugh was in town and billed to appear with Coventry's The Primatives. However on the night it transpired that as a result of illness in The Primatives' camp, support duties would be proffered by EXTC. This was fine for me as I know far more XTC songs than I do The Primatives, and to be honest I have a real soft spot for the most quintessentially English of English bands. Only TC on the kit remains these days, but it was a great set and the closest that I am ever gonna get now to seeing XTC as was.

Thanks to Chatts for the share, appreciated as always.
