Sisters in 2006

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.

In leeds a short while ago Eldritch was asked what the next year & the future in general holds for the band. His answer was that we'd all be "very surprised" .

So, what's it gonna be ?

He's teaming back up with gary Marx ?
He's going in the studio ?
He's coming out of the closet ?
He's going back in the closet ?
He's training to become a policeman ?
He's actually black and he never mentioned it before now ?

Obviously there are a couple of us that know more than you could imagine but what do you reckon ?
Best answer wins a prize from PIB.

he's going to realise what a minority-interest band he's really got (how many half-empty halls on the last uk tour?) and stop being so bloody mysterious about things....just to put an end to all these pretentious "i'm in the know 'cause i once ran over spiggy the cat's girlfriends mum's tail; but i'm not going to tell you because if i'm wrong i won't be able to look important anymore" attention-seeking threads. :roll: :twisted:
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

Ben Gunn is rejoining the band, that's all I'm saying on open forum. :wink: :innocent:

I'm becoming more and more of the opinion that 2006 is the last chance to do something significant. From what I hear about gig attendance figures, unless something significant happens very soon, things will pass the point of no return on that front. Where to go from there?

Anyway, I vote for, in order of preference:

1. Releasing an album in 2006

2. Calling it a day

(1 only wins by a very narrow margin... I have more than enough Sisters output to assist with my long term needs)

It sounds more like a farewell party though.
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

I think Las Vegas might be a typical sarky metaphor, probably for some hole in Leeds :roll:

I guess the major surprise is that he's jacking it all in :urff:

Hmm, it doesn't state a venue, does it, so I guess Motz could be right...

Now if only we'd be able to gather some more info, then I can see what I have to save for :urff:

'have loved you' sounds awfully much like goodbye to me too though :?

That was my first thought too, but then I thought he wouldn't be THAT cruel to all the fans in the US to make a joke like that. :twisted:

Just so you'd know: I don't want to believe it's goodbye either, and prefer that not to be true, but I always try to prepare for the worst :urff: :(

Meanwhile I'll be checking for flights to Vegas :lol:

Oh come on if we are to be "very surprised" then they can't be jacking it all in as that has been expected for ages. My money is on a release of some sort and how about this release date being the 16th Feb, Vegas is associated with money, marriage and gambling which is pretty much what he will be doing by releasing something. He has finally bitten the silver bullet could mean he has finally accepted that he wil not get a £2M advance and that it is now or never!?!?!? Just my tuppence worth and christmas is significant for birth not death.

I think it's a reference to Elvis's comeback.

Been looking through the source code. What've we got..?

"Special guests on all Lunar dates: Bandname Comment.

Special guests on all Martian dates: Bandname"
(with "bandname" linking to "bandname.com"

The "normal ticket advisory"

"advance tickets also available from usual retailers ... probably."

Dunno if they used to be there in the past, but then.. just be pleased to have a date.

EDIT: Weird, both checking the source code at the same time..
