Heartland

I'm in for this one. Loved the venue when I saw Calexico there in ancient times. Ticket came to 48 Euros, but best to order before my s**t thick country's currency collapses.

...a small proportion of the crowd where I was near the front, were just awful... Overreacting to the slightest push and elbowing back in response (never mind that the person they're hitting was pushed by the crowd in the first place...) I totally understand that some people might not want to be in...

A proper belter. This and Amsterdam were massively enjoyable. Hamburg and Dublin a bit more reserved crowd wise. Loved the city and will certainly be back for bands and jollity as soon as I can.

...done five shows this year: Uniformly corking! Need to swap the older tunes around a bit, but most pleasing to see John back on top of his game in a band he wants to be in...

...last minute disturbing urges to return to the fray. After sudden random re-employment I am in a position to pop to the mainland for gigs and revels on occasional weekends. Hence the combination of Terence Von E and his Sislingtons of Mild Demeanour are a-calling me. I REALLY hate e-bay. PM with s...

..............Ta Da! I wasnae even going to go. Most pleased I was persuaded into having a look. After the few bloody dreadful 06 and 09 gigs I did I was sworn off, but that was a corker. I can even ignore the flouncy-haired twiddler now. ...what made it good....erm, you could actually frigging hear...

Mr. T James.

Really? I thought he had left the band
six months earlier!

He did, he came back for TOTP. Because it's TOTP!

Has he considered employing an editor? Or is he perhaps typing while wearing mittens

the two SA gents I first met at Kentish Town on the Event Horizon dates were from "Out in the sticks" (their description) to be honest it's a bit long ago to remember. They were a pair of enormously large Bearded chaps, quite strongly accented, and unduly horrified by British kebabs as I r...

Sorry to revitalise an oldish thread, but scanning the Leeds forum jobby linked from here I noticed John Keenan added: "Yes, Futurama 3 was filmed, some great footage of Simple Minds, Gang of 4, Bauhaus and early Sisters. Unfortunately the company I hired was very dodgy and there were lots of p...

Aye, the two South African gents have been around for a while, lots of KT Forum shows (which are starting to blend into one in my head). When drawing any statistical conclusions from the above data, remember that a great many of the most gigged/longest travelled folk have nowt to do with Sissies-rel...

fantastic piccie. Cheers.

Age: 34 5 Tunes: Driven Like The Snow, I was wrong, Nine-while-Nine, Lights, and Under the Gun. Album: Floodland Line-up. Live Mr E/Dok/Pearson/Starling. Recorded Mr E+Microchip helpers. That said I'd give a bollock to see a Von/Marx/Adams/Gunn gig. Not sure why nostalgia fiends always pick 84/85 in...

Further excellent progress in the field of pre-split Sisters archaeology.

Perhaps we should propose a paper?

Goodo. I have a mate moving back to Mumbai tomorrow, so I'll be missing it, ask pointed questions....

The Sisters have always had decent supports. La Costa Rasa, Cubanate, Sona Fariq, Tin Star, Dave Thomas, Oceansize and The Ivories. What was great about Sona Fariq was how they worked the crowd up. First night i wasn't that interested but by the third night they were superb, so good i went to see t...

Oddly, what Eldo and Mr. Marx seem to consider the production mistakes: The hollow sound, that clinical coldness, and the thwappyness tend to be exactly the elements dodgy crimpers'n'lacy-cuffs beggars spent years trying to ape. It's so ingrained in my head as an album; I can't really imagine what i...

...aye, don't know why they wouldn't get a mention

Arts centres. Bah.

I've never really understood the FLA production problems. He seems to have managed fine with every bugger else.

For London Sisters/Cure folk, this looks like it should be really interesting: http://www.woodmill.org/ Sunday 29th August / 3pm Onwards SOUND SEMINAR David M Allen will be joining together his musical history- through boyhood fascination with analog sound making, his genre defining work as producer...

... Hmmm, I think he's had worse. It's all quite soppy, but it looks like she managed to behave like a normal human being when she met the man, she doesn't even look freaked out. Come on: she expresses herself in a way some of us might find a bit weirdly open and greetings-card like, but she doesn't...

Contrary to popular belief the band can actually be seen and heard from a position at the back. Who did you hear that from? ;D I wandered upstairs to find a friend at the last Kentish Town do, it's very odd sitting with people at the back quietly drinking and looking at the Sisters...all the way ov...

I think nearly every Sisters gig that i've seen over the last 20 years has had a sizeable moshing/bouncing etc. I always used to stay well away but once you get to know everybody it's fine. Except New York where everyone stood like statues. There were pockets of resistance, apart from me and my oth...

...we have the slight problem that if our paramount leader doesn't see a suitable amount of the bouncing/moshing/pyramidadoodling that many seem to object to, he gets a right cob on, beggars off into the smoke and we see/hear hyde nor hair of him for the rest of the gig.

:lol: The shorts were retired with honour, I still have the shirt though. I may even have some photo's of your good self wearing a ridiculous hat. Didn't go this year, is the Caipirinha bar still there? I hope so 8) ...neither did I. I retired the hat. It was the only sun protection that would fit ...

Were you wearing your traditional Mera Luna shorts?
