Support act at the Astoria 2001

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Nope, they were friggin' great though. The term "pearls before swine" came to mind along with: "a great band wasted on a load of whining ignorant goths with no sense of history or taste in music" ;D

They're still knockin' about by the way, inbetween all too infrequent bouts of Pere Ubu activity, there's an Ubu/Thomas link somewhere on the Sisters site, but I can't bring the addy to mind, I'll have a look in a bit.

http://ubuprojex.net/ looks quite useful, and mentions some official Pale Boys live discs, doubt they'd be Sisters support shows though, what with all the grumbling and shuffling in the background.

I knew a band like that once.

What did folks think of Tin Star? I thought they were great, and the album's good as well.
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

I found them quit boring - nothing to write home about. Sorry
