John R is in Midtown Detroit... If you go across Cass Avenue in the 'Cass Corridor' section of Midtown Detroit, then go across Woodward Avenue (where that photo of the Sisters was shot in Detroit on the inner cover of FALAA), you get to the Detroit suburb of Brush Park. On the far side of Brush Park...

Interesting. Thanks for clearing that one up. So, did Carl Harrison (or any other of James ray's minions) play at all? Or were they just for TV appearances? We've still got at least a saxophonist to identify and while Eldo presumably did most of the keyboards, was he a good enough pianist to play 1...

Sisters at the 'Sassy Cat' venue in Detroit

This was the Sassy Cat strip club (3929 Woodward Ave) in Detroit. It was next door to the Scorpio adult bookstore not far from Cass Corridor, once a notorious vice and crime area. Sassy Cat was known at one time as Peek-A-Rama and got shut down by the police at one point. Now it looks quite schmick ...

Enough is Enough.... no chance for the Sisters in 2014!

As I have said before, and I wasn't the only one, never mention the trenches in Belgium. 2014 promises to be a better year.... ('Triskaidekaphobia' is the phobia and fear of the number 13, LOL.) Anyway, what I wanted to say is: A bunch of rival soccer players almost bought about the absolute end of ...

Correct me if I am wrong (or confirm if I am right, please) but Andrew Eldritch admitted to be thoroughly drunk during the filming of that white suit video?

OP, find out who owns copyright on the shots/era you're looking for. The photographer does not always own/retain copyright - often it gets transferred to the person/s who commissioned the shoot. There's no point contacting the photographer if the photographer didn't retain copyright. One-time public...

Why is Andrew Eldritch the most intruiging person in rock?

Coz he sells 'The Don't Belong'; Coz like no-one else ;-) he understands WTF "The Floodland" actually is; Coz he's a Goth without actually acknowledging it; Coz he survived the Thatcher era with a conscience; Coz he needs to know about Danny Casolaro and Robert Booth Nichols; Coz he was ph...

FALAA - meaning of album title?

Always wondered... what does 'First And Last And Always' specifically refer to or mean? Sounds very religious, but I doubt this was the intended meaning or message.

Randall, the phenomenon you refer to is known in Detroit as 'urban prairie'. As the city's population drops, abandoned houses and buildings fall into disrepair and are looted for re-usable materials. Houses eventually get demolished by the city when it can afford mass demolitions, but it's taking a ...
