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 Roxy London 26th March 1977

 

Going right back here to the early days of the London punk scene and a night at Covent Garden's punk HQ, The Roxy. According to the notes from the original uploader (cheers!), this was the Banshees fifth gig, so perhaps it is not so surprising that the band are a little bit ragged. 

The line up itself was short lived and was as follows:

Siouxsie Sioux - Vocals
Steve Severin - Bass
Kenny Morris - Drums
P.T. Fenton - Guitar.

Also on the bill this night were The Slits (see rear of the artwork).
