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's The Adverts UC Theatre Berkeley CA

Trump's been in town, so by default I am angry.... and here's a man who would understand... TV Smith. Here's Tim back with The Damned after 48 years! 'TV Smith's The Adverts' is interesting as a billing, but I guess it's a device to get the punters in. The set here is predominantly from the 'Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts', with just a hint of the hugely underated 'Cast Of Thousands' LP included.

One Chord Forever... The Wonders don't need any more!
