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.

Ruts DC The Georgian Theatre Stockton-On -Tees16th March 2013

I got myself a ticket today to see Ruts DC next month at the Trades Hall in Walthamstow as they launch their Electracoustic3 album. Should be a great gig in a small capacity venue at the end of the Victoria line... even better, an easy trip home!

Some of the venues on the tour are fabulously low key and intimate which is a brilliant way in which to witness Ruts DC doing their acoustic thing.

They are playing The Georgian Theatre again on the tour so I thought that it would be a good opportunity to post an audio version of the set that they played back in 2023. If memory serves Seamus had gone at that point so the band consisted of Segs, Ruffy, Leigh and Molara.
