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.

Musique En Stock Festival Cluses 8th July 2006 DVD

 


I've said it on here before, but when Baz took to the stage at Weston-Super-Mare on 3rd June 2006 and announced 'And then there were four' the game completely changed again for me. But this was summer, a time for far flung festival appearances, so it was several weeks before I went along to Guilfest on 10th July in the company of Paul Cooklin for my first fix of The Stranglers Revitalised. A few days prior to that the band were in Cluses on the French/Swiss border for the 'Music En Stock' Festival. This is an incomplete audience shot record of that gig. It's not the greatest, but it is a record of a gig from a band on the verge of great change, if not in fortune, in credibility. The audio of the full set can be found here.
