Official site updated!

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.

Gods, so that's what a Dodgy Darkling looks like.

No wonder Eldritch is frightened of them.

Here here, Puppy are neither dodgy, nor darklings. Incredibly brutal, uniquely beautiful electro-grunt wizards yes.

However, almost everyone else who ever played mera' luna are not only Dodgy and darklings, but deeply silly, and should be herded into the sea for the good of the mainland.

I look forward to the only sensible Mera Luna line-up available, Sisters, puppy, killing joke.... And a beer tent. ;D

Maybe a nice film or two to fill up the day.

_emma_, you and your cats!!!! :D

Thanks all for tracking the updates on the official site. I just can't be bothered most of the time.

the download details for the James Ray demo versions of This Corrosion are hidden as HTML comments of the discography. We were going to let you know, but if you're going to call us 'Propellorheads'... :P

And it has to be said: Von's HTML coding looks suspiciously like the output of some sloppy WYSIWYG HTML editor given away free on the cover CD of PC Plus magazine from 1997. :roll:

Wow, more official website updates than in...ages. At least it's...something. Actually, I'm having trouble remembering what was on the official band history (last year updated) and what's new?

'Not doing much with the footage'--I take that to mean no Chris Sheehan, no DVD, nothing new, sounds good to me.

You can fit the notes for the past 10 years into a short paragraph...summarize as 'live dates go on...no new product...living life.'

Can someone refresh me on the rumors of UK dates in the near future? I expect that some will happen now that Eldo's gotten his feline attack unit out of mothballs?

Other than that...I live in ridiculous hope that a new album will appear one day, and they will tour the States again...

Only in the best possible way!

Well spotted Dark! Interestingly enough, my sodden memory is loudly pointing out that The Sisters famously played a venue in Hull that might just have been called...Tiffany's. It will have been about the same time, too...

Wheels within wheels.

where the funk did the term 'propellerhead' come from? seeing as most sisters fans probably got into them in the 80s (ie when they last released records with any regularity) whats wrong with the 80s terms nerd and geek?

not that i'm taking the pith or anything - i wouldn't be on this site myself if i wasn't terminally anal.
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?
