Nottingham 07.05.2006 soundcheck - 2 new songs?

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.

I don't want to get to :notworthy: about it, but if they try 2 new songs I predict its more than just a nice cover or something new to feed the fans, no this is to feed New fans :D

Just back...in work....argh. More to come re: gigs, tour, etc, etc.

Yes, the Nottingham gig sounded very good...and we picked up on the 'new' track (I first thought it was either a new song, or a cover I didn't recognize).

Saw Chris and Ben in the bar afterwards (under the club, 'The Rig', is it?) and Chris confirmed it's a new track called 'Still'.

Chris is a nice guy, very down to the earth, spoke to Francis and I for a bit. Told him he looked like he was having a lot of fun up there every night...'How could I not be?' he said, appropriately. Thanked him for good-sounding gigs, then did the same with Ben later, who was hanging about with female friend. Just a shake and good thanks for good shows and the tours. Noted to Ben that the sound was really good for the last few shows after London sounded kind of crap...Chris made a face as he downed his beer (I'm sure they heard the same criticism, although I wasn't in a prime spot for the Astoria gig). Eldritch was not in sight...

Only words I picked up from 'Still' were, I think, 'If it makes you happy'...or 'if it feels good'...something like that, I think that was it--the chorus, that is. Otherwise, er, you know, some mumbling but a good Doktor. Mind you I'm a bit warped from it all, but it sounded good and look forward to hearing another version of it.

Couldn't see much as I was over to the right side during the gig, so the smoke obscured much from that angle, but it did sound good, they got it right again. (As in you could somewhat hear Eldritch enough to sing along and the mix was even). Moved up a bit near the barrier (right near a Hell Angel's security guy) and rode it out till the end (some folks were upset they couldn't see much).

Good gig, though. Folks in full costumed-effect came down to the bar/club after, saw the guitarists, left a bit early to get some sleep (no luck) before having to get back to London to fly home.

More to come...can anyone confirm Eldritch or someone said 'What the f*** are you doing?' about two lines into the opener, Crash and Burn? They came on, it suonded good, could of sworn I heard 'What the f*** are you doing' come from the stage. Nice.

I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.

The first question would be : did anybody record the soundcheck at all ? :innocent:
