New book featuring the Sisters

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

A new book will be out in May, it is french again and it speaks about the Sisters and other bands, the intro is written by Mick Mercer, that should make Mr Eldritch happy HA HA HA ;)

I know the journalist who wrote the Sisters part, and from what he told me, he goes in the direction of Eldritch's words about gothic ...

The book's already been discussed on the other side (DR). It looks alright and pretty thorough, but unfortunately there will always be that G thing. :roll:
At least they didn't come up with a black, scary, candle-filled cover. Enough with the clichés. :urff:

You must be joking !? It'll be done in the blink of an eye, but as always, it'll be totally incomprehensible... but funny nonetheless. ;D :roll:
