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.

Devo Something For Everybody US TV June 2010

 


A bit of a diversion here, but one with links to The Stranglers and a strong cross-over appeal to many Stranglers' fans I know.

Akron's Devo defy attempts at pigeon-holing. With a longevity stretching beyond that of The Stranglers by a matter of months they sounded and perhaps just as notably looked like no other band in the United States or anywhere else. Back in 1978, when appearing on 'So It Goes' they eloquently described themselves to Tony Wilson as 'the fluid in the punk enema bag'.... now there's a description should you be in need of one! Like The Stranglers not every record that they have put their name to has been great by when they did get it right the results were brilliant."2009's 'Something For Everybody' was a real return to form album.

Here are a couple of promotional appearances that they did for US TV.
