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 Undertones Hurrahs New York 23rd September 1979

 


Here's a great set from those scamps, The Undertones, from back in 1979. September saw then on tour Stateside with The Clash on the latter band's 'Take The Fifth' tour. Looking at the excellent 'Black Market Clash' web resource, it would appear that the Clash had the night off on this day and this gave The Undertones, being as they were on the east coast, the opportunity to squeeze in a headline date for themselves in New York. With a set representing the best of (well make that most of) 'The Undertones' and 'Hypnotised' albums. Great fun then as now! Thanks to the original Dime uploader.
