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.

999 Euphoria Portland Oregon 13th March 1980


Last week Gunta and I had the pleasure of seeing old friends 999 once again in my favorite Camden dive the Dublin Castle. It was great to catch up with them again, on this their 40th Anniversary year.

Support for the evening was provided by another '77 band London (noted for original member, and subsequent member of The Damned and Culture Club, Jon Moss - although he wasn't behind the kit on this occasion).

Catch them on your this year!


On this recording that band were supported by those clown princes of punk, The Dickies.
