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.

Chris Gabrin R.I.P.

Photographer Chris Gabrin has died. He was one of the many photographers that were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to be able to document birth and development of punk and new wave in the UK. Some of his photographs will be very recognisable.

In addition to shooting The Stranglers, he was the man behind the lens for some truely iconic images of Buzzcocks, Blondie, Elvis Costello, The Damned oh... and Johnny Moped.
