Rose Of Avalanche - Never Another Sunset

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Now then, on behalf of a friend of mine, I'm after a CD of Rose Of Avalanche's Never Another Sunset. A CDR copy would more than suffice. If anyone could spare a copy, or of course trade for something Sisterly, that would be fab.

PM me if you can help keep an old goth happy, bless him.

if you're completely stuck I spotted a second hand vinyl copy in a local Brighton record shop today (and the other RoA album as well).

I saw RoA walk off stage at the QMU supporting someone (?), I was in the pub with flat tops, I wasn't happy either.

They supported The Mish on the (UK leg) World Crusade tour Oct/Nov 86. Are you admitting that you were there. :wink:

So was I, at the Edinburgh gig anyway, where RoA stormed off (again?) when, after two songs the singer got a pint thrown over him. I was gutted as I really liked them and wanted to see them live :(

I got the RoA singles CD on ebay a couple of weeks ago. Would love to track down the first album on CD if it exists...

I was there for the Leeds gig on 4.11.86, and yes, they were great. There was some sort of equipment failure after about 3 songs but they continued with 1 guitar and vocals for a few minutes until things could continue. Oh, and I didn't read what it said on my ticket*. :lol:

@ Derek

There are numerous available:

Anthology (First Avalanche/Always There) Double Album on one CD (Fire Records CD7)

LA Rain (The Singles) Nectar Matsers NTMCD533

in Rock
Never Anpther Sunset
Stringa Beads
Ice

The above are the cd's i know to.....

Saw em on the Crusade, and first time out before that, they played on two gigs of Expedition One, Just before Pauline Murray and the Storm.

Sad as I am, never missed a UK or German show (as much as possible) for the ten years that followed....

Think i've mentioned this before, caught the last ever Rose gig at the Duchess just before the first Leeds heineken festival, they were gonna change their name and start again...never did mind, just called it a day...shame.

Associated bands to track down if you feel the need:-

India (Nicoles band played in leeds around 88/89)
Paul James Berry http://www.supermusic.de/pauljamesberry/ very very good!

What year was that? I saw them at the Duchess several times, the last time in may'93. I never heard of them again after this gig.

Twas November 93, if I recall...

Do you remember em playing 'Step It Up' as a cover as the final song???

If so that WAS the gig....

about 50 folks there.....end of an era...was sat upstairs in the so called 'band room' whilst the lads rued the fate of the Rose.....

a few things stand out from that night:

Phil was wearing a t-shirt with 0*1 - We Call It Leeds...
I shouted a request for 'Peace Inside' and got told to F*** O**....
There was some frwaky g*** bird with cobwebs on the face hand dancing, my missus laughed herself silly all night at that...
My missus was also so taken with the Rose that we even had LA Rain at our wedding as the song you have to dance to... :eek:

In Laws daint know what hit em!!!

Last i heard :

Phil Morris - Married in advertising, hobbies include collecting fine wines and investments seen frequently dining out with one Darren Horner.

Darren Horner - Returned to original career as electrical engineer.

Nicole McKay - Psychiatric nurse currently backpacking across the world to Australia.

Glen Shultz - Building contractor

Had the honour of playing with guys in Ireland during the Stringa Years...

Good times......

Yep they played Step it Up as the last song. 29.5.93. I think I retrieved the hand-made sign advertising the gig off the door at the end.
I never knew it was their last gig, although I always kindof suspected it was one of the last as I didn't hear of them again after that.

I saw them at the Leeds date. Cracking show, it was great to see them on a decent sized stage with decent pa for a change.

I bootlegged the show, but years later the tape snapped. For reasons that I still can't remember I binned it instead of doing a selotape repair. I've kicked myself eversince, as every other boot I've come accross from this period was crap quality. :oops:

Slightly more specific than that. Anyone who's heard the tape would remember the girl talking to me during the introtape.

"Is that a camera"
"no, a tape recorder"
"didn't you read what it said on your ticket"
"bullsh!t to the ticket"

On the photocopied cover of the cassette I circulated at the time I called the tape "Didn't you read what it said on your ticket?" as it seemed fashionable to give bootleg tapes names at that time.

:notworthy: It all comes clear now ;D

If you notice, I did only ask for one bonus point; I'd have asked for five if I'd known that! :lol:
