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.

Possibly so, but who cares. Tour fever is rampant, and I can't even afford to think about any of the gigs announced so far.

Love it whilst it lasts. :von:

Indeed, phew... I'm curious if they'll be doing Belgium :)

Whoever metioned Florence: Eat a bistecca fiorentina for me, will you, the best steak you'll ever be eating :notworthy: :notworthy:

Owh: What about warm-up gigs when you see this extensive tour :?: :?:

but what a way to go :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:


other people in the industry may have different ideas, as the man said, we'll see
I hope you're wrong.

But everyone should visit Paris before they die.

Bit of Florence & Paris sounds a lot more tempting than that difficult Canadian trip I'd just started planning... A lot warmer too!

Yeah, that'd do it..
I feel exactly the same about Brussels Midi, a station I've spent far too much time hanging around for trains that just ain't happening (or have already happened..)
Gare Du Nord rocks tho 8)
Airports suck, wherever they are.

But not online 'Plus disponible dans notre réseau' means not longer available through our network...

By the way: Who/What's 'nous productions', it means our productions, but le Zénith is apparently not allowed to produce stuff itself (I read that going through their site yesterday)?

The Zenith calendar isn't showing the date yet either so maybe FNAC are a little ahead of themselves with adding the tickets. Nous verrons...

Fingers crossed cos I definitely fancy this one. :twisted:

Anyone coming to this gig, or am I going to be the token tyke?
This could be the swansong - he's going to be 50 in a couple of years, maybe it's time he and Nursie settled down somewhere.

Looks like the tour could take in the same places as before. London-Leeds-Manchester-Nottingham-Glasgow, hopefully not Wolverhampton (sorry if you live there) but hopefully Bristol, as I live there.

Maybe as the Europe tour takes in different places this UK tour (if there is one) will hit some different towns ie Brighton, Norwich, Newcastle, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Portsmouth. Best to wait and see before shelling out pots of cash on the Mainland dates.

Am I losing it? Sisters tours dates multiplying on the site...UK dates, finally.

That brings it to 50, as of now, and no London dates (yet).

Hot damn. Biggest tour since '91, yes? No product, no contract...50 dates. Not bad. All those US cities, too...Phoenix, Albuquerque, Austin...will the mall goths unite in such spots? Curious to see how they sell all over.

What happened? Competent promoters finally appeared, or Von wants to take over the world (finally)?

The last time they played Norwich was about 1984 I think! It would be par for the course if they decided to fulfill one of my greatest teenage wishes 12 years too late!
Very little of what you believe to be true is actually the case.

Sorry.
