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.

Didn't, think of that yet, euphoria :D

Seems they just made an entire concept page, which covers everything that could be included

Code: Select all

The only surprise is the recent and remarkably inventive whining 
of fuckwits who think that 
dodgy darklings have some <NOBR>god-given</NOBR> right to
hijack a Sisters gig merely by alerting their closest neighbours, 
surprising us at a soundcheck and 
&#40;reluctantly&#41; letting us hear their &#40;naturally&#41; bad CD, 
five hours before showtime. 
Is this new :?: :lol:

I have seen that before, but I don't recall seeing the "Martian" and "Lunar" references.

Perhaps.....


Now this is only a theory OK..


Perhaps it's all a bit like the time before the last tour dates were posted up..

The mythical "Heartland" tour dates, which I'm sure people on here will remember..

Who knows, perhaps this is a warm up for an official announcement..

Wasn't "Me love you long time" what the prostitutes said to the American soldiers in the film Full Metal Jacket. Fingers crossed this is a reference to an American tour ( a real surprise).That would mean "Bitting the silver bullet" could mean it wasn't something he was keen on doing.

Trying to stay positive.

I agree with Pat.

Now, let's hope for more dates across the Globe. I'm hoping for a gig in Sweden, a real gig, no festival, please. :D

Translate Las Vegas through google you get "The Fertile valley" though it's correct Spanish translation is "The Meadows". York (UK) is situated is the Lower Derwent Valley in The Vale of York and to quote from The English Nature site " ...The Lower Derwent Valley comprises a series of flood meadows and floodlands ..."

Stick a web monkey in front of a keyboard for long enough and he will eventually type out the date of a Sisters gig.

If the Great Man comes State-side in 06, I'll eat my well-worn shoe. But this is two months away...surely they'd have to have a venue booked already if they were actually playing? Or as some have mentioned, Las Vegas is code for something else. Or we're being jerked about.

Nevertheless, 25th anniversary, good time to pack it in, or fool us with stories of packing it in.

Would be funny to bump into Von at the tables, though....

Well it sure isn't code for Ancienne Belgique in Brussels as the Simple Minds are playing there on the 16th.

There is space enough on the live news page for other dates...
Hope to read them soon.

Not only do we have Bullseye elsewhere, we now have everyone attempting that Ted Rodgers 3-2-1 flippy finger thingy that not even the Masons could master. :urff:

:lol: That's us, isn't it? :oops:

They're biting the bullet, in which case it won't kill them, no? :D
That's what I'm sticking to anyway.

And now, I have disappeared so far up my own analytical arse that I can see out my mouth... :roll:

Pretty much sounds like a "Toodle-Pip, we be gone" type comment to me :?:

Random Gig somewhere on the 25th anniverary, and then jack it in.

Twould be perfect really.

Does anyone REALLY want to see a 30th anniversary gig somewhere near Dunstable, at some kind of rock-cafe? No, thought not.


Cue six weeks of rumours, tears, infighting and nonsense.
