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.

O2 Academy Liverpool 5th March 2012

 


Whatever you do don't catch the bass players eye! Liverpool 2012 and someone has rather unwisely lobbed a pint at Burnel. This action was unwise on two counts... one, only a fool would pay O2 Academy beer prices only to throw it at the stage and two, it's a sure fire way to get the bass players dander up! The clip has been on Youtube for some years now and indeed some manner of retribution for that ill advised act was meted out to the culprit at the front of the stage.

Shame really to do such a thing, especially when the band are part way through a particularly enjoyable set as was the case on the 2012 tour when the band had a new album to promote.
