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.

Goldwyns Birmingham 28th February 1991

 


An early one from Mark II here, one that I found whilst trying to tidy up some external drives. My electronic housekeeping really is shocking!

It is hard to hear some of the exhanges with the audience from the stage, but I don't think the band and especially Paul were having an easy time of it. A baptism of fire given that this was only his sixth gig as a Strangler. There was certainly some stick dished out on other dates of this first post-Hugh tour.
