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.

Johnny Marr The Moore Seattle 21st September 2024

 


Now in The Smiths I can recognise a great British band, one of the greatest that we have produced. Despite this in their lifetime I bought just one single 'How Soon Is Now?' and to date I have just a greatest hits CD. But I get it, I get them. What I also get is the damage that has been done to their legacy by the former lead singer of that band. With his undoubted talent, Johnny Marr seems to have weathered that particular storm and he is content to play his former band's material in his solo sets.

Thanks to Mr. Sifter from Dime.
