Heartland

Interesting, thanks.

But why is playing Giving Ground so significant?

They kicked off ~15 mins late, so I was wondering if something was amiss. Turns out they had one more mic than they needed. Anyone know when it was clear they were playing as a 3? That said … it was a bloody good show. You had to cut them a little slack on a couple of songs (Summer, WYDSM) but beari...

... a few hefty lines of speed beforehand saw us through ... I’d been out the evening before the show in London ... it’s fair to say that Jimmy was in an even worse state than I was ... the day of the Sisters Royal Albert Hall show and I was so hungover. I couldn’t stand up without wanting to...

Well, we are all getting on a bit now.

The Roundhouse seems an optimisically large venue for a Sunday night. (Edit: It's actually only 3300, which is smaller than I thought)

Von looks like Michael Jackson in his latter years.

Great find though.

Exactly this.

I can see why he's proud of Marian though.

My favourite ever Sisters gig. The choice of song selection to open was just fantastic.

Comfortably Numb
SKOS
1st and Last
Ribbons
Alice
Dominion
Body Electric


It just doesn't get better than that (for me).

21 years eh? Time flies.

There other songs are similar - although that one had a novelty flavour about it.

They had a plan to get Cicciolina (an Italian politician/porn star) to present the World Cup at Italia '90 and this song was an attempt to persuade the world that this was a good idea.

Well I never. I was quite a Poppies fan back in the day, but never knew there was any link between them and Pat. I've got the (re-issued) CD that this track is from on my desk here (co-incidence, huh). Adam writes: "We played 'Cicciolina' on Top Of The Pops, accompanied by Dan the Neds Aromic D...

Body Electric all the way. I've always viewed it as being only a smidgeon below Alice and Temple as the best of Sisters Mk1.

Adrenochrome is fine, but its the same division as Anaconda and Heartland for me.

"Acid on the floor, so she walk on the ceiling ..."

Its a bit redneck, isn't it?

Good lord - that's the Weezer day!

That's seriously tempting.

I'm sure it was free.

o) where does Von allege to write his best songs?
In the bath

I wonder if I misheard this in an interview once. I thought the answer was In the bar.

Blimey. I know 2, for sure, with one possible. Thats ******g it.

Is there a forum for people who thought they knew a lot about the girls, but now realise they don't?

Good stuff. It must have taken some balls to do that with only 2/3rds of a band. I'm reminded slightly of the last couple of Velvet Underground gigs that were performed without any of the original members, and I wonder if Eldo decides to put his feet up one Summer whether we'd see Ben+Chris tour the...

Not bad! Not bad at all.

Its absolute rubbish.

So what is Gary Marx's real name?

It never crossed my mind it was a pseudonym.

Wow! They are fantastic quality recordings!

no, von preparing completly new layout in mood of new album cover. I had an immensely long and complex dream involving this last night. I saw the track-listing (none of the "new" songs we know), heard some samples (remarkably good - original, but distinctively "Sisters", Von's v...

Good work. Sadly its back though.
