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 Cramps The Metropolis (Met) 23rd May 1982

 


This one is for Lux Interior on what would have been his 80th birthday. For some reason I never got to see The Cramps. I loved the 'Smell Of Female' album when it came out... the band were on top form in the early '80's and for me tracks such as 'Human Fly' and 'Thee Most Exalted Potentate of Love' are what the band are all about.

This is a good recording of the band playing Portland's Met venue in 1982.
