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.

Ruts DC 100 Club 31st May 2026

 


The gig tally is diminished somewhat in the last couple of years (since an unplanned for sojourn in Harlow hospital ICU). Nevertheless, tonight it will be a pleasure to enter the hallowed basement of the 100 Club for the final date of Ruts DC's European and UK tour. Thankfully, the temperature at ground level is not as extreme today as it has been over the past week, nevertheless I am sure that the temperature down below will be nothing short of burning.

I have no idea what happened in terms of Ruts DC dropping off the Misty In Roots RAR 50th billing at the Electric Ballroom... but give me the 100 Club every time. Reggae vibes for this evening will be offered up by General Saint.
