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.

L'Olympia Paris 9th October 2024


Not much to be said about this lot really. Paris was their second European stop on the recent 50th anniversary tour and one of only two dates that received the full two-set, suited, booted and chandelier illuminated treatment (the other being the first night in Lille). Seeing The Stranglers in Paris has always been a highlight of several tours as it is such a brilliant city. Forget all of the noise about rude Parisians.... have you never been to London! So here they are amidst the opulensce of L'Olympia. Thanks to the original Dime poster (finkployd49).
