Remembering the band's name hurt.
Sorry to be pedantic but the response needs to contain the whole word, not just a few letters. Thems the rules!

Re: Currently getting into the groove to

Happened to watch Christine and the Queens on the Glastonbury coverage and was blown away. Literally, never heard her before. An extremely powerful performance, unlike anything else I've seen and great music. I've linked an especially lovely song from the new album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q...

Re: Technical questions regarding drum machines

Hi. Don't underestimate how much knowledge and time Andrew has put into the drums. The book 'Waiting For Another War' details very well Von's obsessive attention to details when programming / producing. I still marvel at the genius of the drums on 'Phantom' - it's as complex and innovative as any 'g...

Von's one job only is lead singer of the sisters. he told himself years ago. saw what happened first gig i...

Roskilde Festival, 1998 was wonderful, especially Flood II. Mind you, that was the last time I saw them, so bit biased.

That's fantastic news! Coincidentally, I bumped into Trevor this week, in the FB Sisters group, where I was defending a man who just had a Sisters tattoo done with the head facing right.
