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 Damned White Eagle Hall Jersey City NJ 1st May 2025

 

There's not really much that needs to be said for this one as The Damned take 'MGE', 'The Black Album' and 'Strawberries' back over to US, winding up tonight in Sacramento if the poster is to be believed. I trust that TV Smith made a good account of himself as support. Great to see 'White Rabbit' in the set, a great cover from a band with a solid track record of recording distinctive cover versions (even though I read that Rat does not rate their version). Thanks to the original Dime uploader, madelf. Please note that this recording is in 24/44 format and will require conversion if you intend to burn it onto CD.

    Thanks for this! I saw them two nights later in Philly and they were brilliant once again! I was amazed at how much sound is created by Rat with what seems like such little effort. He is a drumming machine!
