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 Jam Park West Chicago 6th March 1980

 


Bruce Foxton has been in the news in the last couple of weeks. Due to ongoing health issues he was forced to cancel a couple of his new band's gigs. In a subsequent post it transpires that on top of the ongoing oncology treatments/follow ups that he has, he has now in addition received a Parkinson's diagnosis. We wish Bruce all the best!

Here is a brilliant radio broadcast from the US leg of the 'Setting Sons' tour. At that time the band were in rude health and on top of the world.

An inferior version of this gig was posted on here many years ago for which the links have been long defunct (rapidshare!).
