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.

The Venue New Cross London 11th September 1993

 

I'm surprised that I have not posted this one before from the 1993 S.I.S. 'A Day Into Night' Convention, if only for its very unusual set. I guess a Convention style event is the ideal test bed for material that may or make the cut in terms of getting released. So what was the fate of 'Shattered', 'Coffee Shop', 'Candy' and 'Bed Of Nails'? Answers on a postcard please. I think I read that 'This God Is Mine' emerged at some point on a Paul Roberts release. Forgive the ignorance, I took my eyes off the ballinblack, so to speak, at the time.
