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.

Siouxsie And The Banshees The Left Bank Mount Vernon New York 24th October 1981


This is a really nice recording (soundboard?) of the Banshees promoting JuJu in the US. How's that for a desirable set! With John McGeogh on guitar, for many fans of the band this was the zenith of the Banshees' career, if not the classic line up of the band. Listen out for some interesting effects on 'Happy House'. This gig too has a rare appearance of 'Love in A Void' in the set, a song that suffered early on due to some lyrical content, later amended.

I have Mark to thank for the share of these files (cheers, much appreciated!).
