Heartland

As Gary is laying claim to the second verse of the Heartland lyrics, and given that the opening lines of both songs are the same, surely this proves that it is an Eldritch lyric. I covered this issue in a blog post about the song a few years back: " The song Heartland credits Eldritch and Marx ...

Thanks for this. AE has gone up in my estimation as we both have a loathing of tedious musos Steely Dan!

... The Sisters played one of the last gigs of the Ben Gunn era, and the only one for which Red Lorry Yellow Lorry were also on the bill. Read all about it on my TSOM archive blog:

Thanks QB and Mr Marx, great to have some new tunes in the pipeline, and in particular to hear about their provenance. Looking forward to the full set but this will do nicely for now!

The lead singer on this none-more-g*** track seems to be sporting an Overbombing t-shirt. I expect that his 'cease-and-desist' letter will be in the post by the end of the week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-pUrTMyY0Q

Me too Dave, me too...

For those who enjoyed Trevor and Mark's recent books on the 1980-1985 era, just to let you know that I have restarted more blog posts about individual gigs and events of that time in the band's history. New for this weekend is a post about the gigs in Sussex in 1982 and 1983 (Brighton and Hastings r...

Arigato Nikolas for still doing Your Blog. I suppose much was said with recent books but You still find some gaps to fill. Thank you! I took a break for the blog whilst awaiting publication of the excellent biographies by Trevor and Mark, but am back to researching the trainspotter detail of old re...

The new EP from Mark E Moon is excellent.

... TSOM were originally due to have shared a stage with both The Birthday Party and Southern Death Cult (a non-event covered on the latest post on my TSOM blog https://sistersfan.blogspot.com/2022/04/goth-heaven-nick-cave-ian-astbury-and.html . This got me thinking - what has been the best line-up ...

An interesting read, thanks for sharing. I love the fact that the interviewer, on hearing Von claim that The Sisters are "The Best New Band In Belgium", almost immediately asks if he's heard of Whispering Sons! Until he releases studio versions of some of the new songs, I would also have G...

Seems they've been around a while but oh boy the new single is stupidly good

Certainly catchy with that bass riff at the beginning having a familiar tone! Overall it's like a grunge Throwing Muses.

For the past few years I've been writing a (second) blog devoted to new music, but as it's mainly goth/post-punk it probably won't be of interest to TSOM fans ( - not entirely a tongue-in-cheek comment, as I know many here have very broad taste).

Fantastic Prologue, amazing new fact in the first line, the first of many. Would love to see a photo of that unusual coffee table! I'd never realised before today that the other member of Craig's short-lived post-Expelaires pre-Sisters project was the same guy who DJed at Le Phono in the early 80's ...

Elitism is hopefully dead, but irony clearly isn't!

You guys just come off as very judgemental. Not trying to be confrontational, but just like... be aware of how you treat others, and why it is that you feel these people are lesser than you for enjoying the same thing but in a different way. Elitism isn't dead. Whilst I would agree with both you an...

Wow, that's good. I still think I prefer this, though.

The thing that gets me down the most about the FB group is that you're guaranteed that someone will post one of the (very small number of) official Sisters videos. Every. Single. Day. Does any of them think that they're sharing something new? What is the point? Heellloooo Sisterrssss !!! Ultimately...

According to Analogue Planet And 1LP. The link to the official RSD site at the top of this thread shows 2LP and a play list...but if you check RSD releases on the official site it shows 1LP . Ach well time will tell. Skeletal Family in there as well Well the 12 songs clock in at about 47mins, just ...

I know this is only tangentally linked to biscuits, but if anyone hasn't read it yet, there's a hilarious tea towel related thread on the big TSOM FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1980147 ... 6201594225

There's a new post on my TSOM blog about that first gig, following up on other details to have emerged since the fanzine review was rediscovered a couple of years ago: https://sistersfan.blogspot.com/2021/02/forty-years-ago-today-first-sisters-of.html . There's also some interesting posts on the 808...

Not sure if it says more about me or the t-shirt "designer" but at first glance I thought the person on the right was Hulk Hogan.
