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.

The Clash Vanderbilt University Memorial Gym, Nashville TN 27th March 1984

 


This gig sees The Clash back in the USA with the new post Headon/Jones line up. The 'Cut The Crap' album will not see release for another 18 months but a handful of songs that made it onto the album were firm features in the band's live set long before it saw the light of day. The sound on this one is great and the set list is also pretty desirable. The band sound different though (obviously it's three fifths of a different band!). Maybe it is the additional guitar work... not sure, but it is an enjoyable listen nonetheless.
