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.

Brighton Dome 26th March 2019


Always a pleasure to return to the stables, I mean Brighton's fantastic Dome for The Stranglers. Here is the fist gig from the 'Back on the Tracks' tour to raise its head above the parapet. You may have to crank the volume up a little, but it is worth it. I mean when was the last time you can remember the band playing three brand new songs that had not yet seen a release! Many thanks to the sharer!

  4. This is a PIL Head recording, the tracks were taken from a set list and maynot be as played - PIL Head is not a massive stranglers fan, therefore would not necessarily know all their names

  5. When I sent the link for this gig to Adrian, I told him that the first 6 songs need edited/renamed, immaterial who recorded this, as Adrian was informed and chose to do nothing.

  6. Apologies I will look into this. As to the origins of the recording, I did not know of the original source. Happy to credit.
