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.

Xmal Deutschland 9:30 Club Washington DC 11th June 1984

 

Very envious this afternoon as I sit in my bombsite of an office looking out on a sodden road in front of the house. Meanwhile, a friend is at present entrained on the Eurostar, replete with chilled white wine, Paris bound to see the extraordinary Anja Huwe play a rare gig at La Marbrerie tonight. The only counter I have to this is to post an Xmal Deutchland gig... and that is poor competition.

Here is Anja, caterwauling as Owen Carne had it (!), in the company of her fellow Xmal Deutschlanders at the famed 9:30 Club in Washington DC. Nice sounding recording this is too.
