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.

Kraftwerk Coachella Festival Second Week 20th April 2025

 


A somewhat incongruous choice this one. Kraftwerk... more 'Kraut Rock' than 'Post-punk Rock' if you ask me. But hey, it's Kraftwerk, surely a welcome addition to any festival bill.... Cambridge Folk Festival excepted perhaps!

There is not much more for me to say about the band, they are an institution and just brilliant. There is quite a bit of their material on this site should you care to venture further.

So there you have it 14 of the 17 bands appearing on the 'Forever Now' one day festival line up. If you are going have fun and please let me know how it went.

Normal service will be resumed tomorrow.

  2. Sorry, artwork is misleading. This is an audience recording.
