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.

The Courettes The Tube Dusseldorf 13th October 2022

Gigs on board boats seems to be a thing that is rising in popularity in the last couple of years. The Courettes are afloat from today on Little Steven's Underground Garage Cruise 2. This sails from Miami to Mexico... could be worse, imagine the UK equivalent... Harwich to the Hook of Holland over a wet Easter weekend sailing into the eye of Storm Dave!

Flavia's prepared!

With luck, Trump will keep the USAF away from the Gulf of Mexico and The Courettes will make it back to the UK in good time for their appearance with The Damned on April 11th.
