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.

Iggy Pop Markthalle Hamburg 26th May 1979

 


Still on a Matlock theme, Glen was recruited into Iggy's touring band that took his album 'New Values' all over Europe. Matlock was in good musical company with Iggy's select band of minstrels for this tour that included Klaus Kruger ex-Tangerine Dream (drums), Scott Thurston ex-Stooges (lead guitar) and Jackie Clark, who had formerly played with Ike and Tina Turner (rhythm guitar). The cover art above shows Iggy, Matlock and Brian James who was drafted in at the last minute for a US tour when Glen's former Rich Kid compadre, Steve New, pulled out.

I'm not sure whether this is a full Iggy set or not, but the quality is quite good. Thanks to the original Dime uploader.
