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.

We've overdone nerd and geek clearly, as they're becoming chic and/or passé.

IIRC there was a Tiffany's in Oldham (or was it Rochdale?) in the mid-80s too. Not that The Sisters would ever have played there though.

I think Tiffany's is pretty much a generic club name for what we used to call white high heel nights...

I saw Simple Minds, New Order, Blancmange, Bauhaus, The Cure, Robert Palmer, EATB, Spandau Ballet :oops: and Theatre Of Hate at the Glasgow Tiffany's
not all on the same night, of course

You are absolutely right!

I took my girlfriend on our first date to Tiffanys, red rose, drinking, etc. The next night I took her back the same place to see Killing Joke!

not that i'm taking the pith or anything - i wouldn't be on this site myself if i wasn't terminally anal.
clicky - this goes back much further than the 80s
