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.

TV Smith And The Bored Teenagers Don't Panic Essen 26th March 2025


These are busy days indeed for the One Chord Troubadour, TV Smith, as he criss-crosses continents (yes, continents!) to bring the message of The Adverts to the people. It is a message that is undiminished in its potency in the 38 years that have elapsed since the release of 'Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts'. The set comprises material from that album as well as the highy underated follow up, 'Cast Of Thousands' along with solo material and a couple of songs from the repertoire of the short lived but brilliant Cheap.  Tim enjoys particularly strong support in Germany and here he is playing to an enthusiastic audience in Essen at the tail end of last month. Sincere thanks as always to Peter for sharing the files. Cheers!
