Is the only live TV performance by The Sisters - in any incarnation - The Old Grey Whistle Test from 85?? I was looking on youtube but couldn't find anything beyond mimed sets. In fact I think the only time I've seen The Sisters live on telly is either the OGWT or a broadcast of Wake. There was the ...

Wow. That does not seem that long ago. An odd album. Remember really liking about half at the time but my appreciation for it has grown over the years - mainly due to the live performances and in particular those post the VT era

Could it have been a bit of a fishing excercise to try get Eldritch on board?

Thanks Big Si for the link! That was a very enjoyable hours listen. Some great points - I'd never previously considered in quite those terms how, as a youth, a particular record can help define and almost justify both your existance and ambition. I also found the points about Eldritchs supposed fail...

Sisters 2nd night at Wembly and NEC 93 - couldn't afford the travel.

Just wondering if anyone can account for the relative scarcity of Body & Soul, Walk Away and No Time To Cry as singles as oppose to 12"? Compared to the 82/83 Mericiful Release era 7" and certainly those of Floodland and beyond, the 84/85 seem both rarer and slightly more expensive. I'...

How about a Sisters residency in Leeds for a week next Feb? Each night, the various line ups play a classic set list from their era, and at the end of the week, we get to vote who we'd like to see Andrew go on tour with? Then again, perhaps to democratic for Von. So how about the various incarnation...

Hey everybody I've been a long time lurker, infrequent poster, on MyHeartland for about 10 years. I've never meet anyone on the site in person because I'm v shy but I'm aware of people from their posts and seeing them at gigs. There is a lot these days about mental health and dealing with depression...

Okay. Qualifying statement. I'm a 47 year old male, married with two kids. I love The Sisters. I became a fan with This Corrosion and have tried to see them whenever I can... which ended in 2016 At the moment, it's 3.00am in Dublin and I've been spending the last 3 hours drinking and watching the si...

Back to the drawing board! So many dates sold out....

Thinking of doing this and Kracow. Still looks like tickets are available? Never been to Poland, any tips?
Is the door opening at 5.30 with a 7.30 start time correct??

That was a great show! On this tour, I did Glasgow, Belfast and then back home to Dublin for this. There was soo much smoke and I love the fog! If I remember correctly, they set of the fire alarms? The 2014/15 tours were really the band on a peak. Didn't seem to be just going thru the motions and El...

His solo stuff sounds interesting and the clips I've seen from Hellfest sounds great....

That alternate reality were The m*****n became The Sisters is pretty chilling! And would they have still been The Sisters after Craig left - like he did with The Mish. How many more Sisters Of Mercy splinter groups would there be on Facebook...

Sounds soo good!

Imagine Gary!? That would be something...

Wow. After a mildly promising start, that made me want to scratch out my ears from the inside.

Finally got the Body Electric tee. I've lusted after this since I saw it at a gig but hadnt the money to get it. Very very satisfied. Now i'm twitching for TRH!

Magnificent, pompous, marvelous and great. Full of energy.

An absolute peach. Never ages. A joy from start to finish!

At this particular moment...

AllTomorrows Parties - The Velvet Underground
Tour De France - Kraftwerk
Memphis Tennessee - Elvis
Montague Terrace (In Blue) - Scott Walker
Mother Of Pearl - Roxy Music

Nice peice - and it doesn't even mention Von rewriting Cat People as More to relaunch The Sisters V4... again, probably because they're not goth either

... so ALL the record company arguments are irrelevant. with his experiences and knowledge if he wanted to release an album it would be logistically easier than it has ever been, or at worst no harder. and besides, a pledge-based campaign would guarantee the money was there beforehand thus solving ...

Today's the day ... Happy Birthday, Mr. Bowie ... :D ... Black Star released ... but Blackstar completely dreadful. Like a musical equivalent of a Jackson Pollock mess on the floor really. IMHO of course. Yeah - dreadful. I tried to give it a chance, but after I got a headache at one moment, I gave...

Just to say, I was in Madchester last weekend and thefe's a record shop near Picadilly square called (i think) Clampdown... Anyway, one of the few record shops in years i've seen with a vinyl Sisters section and its got stock. Kill The Lights, Hard Reign, 10 b/day show, selection of 12" Aside f...
