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.

Punk Rock Bowling Las Vegas 27th May 2019 DVD

 


To kick off the weekend, here is an authored DVD of the band's appearance at the US 'Punk Rock Bowling' festival back in 2019. This isn't the full set played on the day, that can be found in audio form here.

Not sure whether if was the down to hired equipment or what, but in parts Dave's fingers are not doing what Dave's head is telling them to do. Bless him!

At the moment, the US punk/new wave festival scene appears to be thriving still, but I wonder whether under financial pressures they will go the same way as similar festivals in the UK (I am thinking Stone Valley and Sign of the Times here)?
