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.

Echobelly John Peel Session BBC Radio 1 1st April 1995

 


Another strong band to emerge at that time were Echobelly. They were reasonably prolific, releasing two studio albums  between 1994 and 1995, but they seemingly only recorded one session for John Peel. And here it is featuring two songs from the second album 'On' and two songs, 'Tarantino' and 'Way Too', that to the best of my knowledge were exclusive to that session.

Echobelly were anoother great example of a band where the ladies were once in the forefront of rock 'n' roll, with or without guitars.

A recording of the band live in Brighton the previous year can be located here.
