That Guitarist TO HEADLINE FESTIVAL OF SHADOWS CAMDEN LONDON

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

It's times like these that I wish I was disabled just so I could cost such accessibility ignorant webdesigners their jobs. Not that I'd be able to find a contact address in that blur of serifs. While there's a single hungry mouth on this planet, I pray for all our sakes that no-one was actually paid to produce that site :evil:

Oh, and what's Hussbag got to do with Shadows now? :urff:

Motz, that's by some distance the finest rant I've ever read on here. I have absolutely no need to bother with the website myself now (not that I would). :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Will the Festival of Shadows involve such things as people standing behind a back lit curtain holding up their hands and asking 'Can you guess what animal this is kids?"

I'm sorry to say when I see such events with inane titles as this it makes me shudder. It makes me immediatly conjure up visions of Nosferatu and the gloom and doom "professional London / Camden goths". These stick thin beings who would stand around at the back of Rosetta Stone concerts expressionless and and attempting to glide as they moved in their capes, wearing black lip stick and long black gloves, all whilst drinking halves of cider and blackcurrent quoting pages from some obscure Anne Rice book that they kept in their purse.. and the women where just as bad too ! There where times I didn't know wheather to laugh or cry..sometimes I hedged my bets and did both. Aren't you glad those days are gone huh ? Christ knows I am. Phew!

Have you not seen the way mainland Eurogoths dance? You've given a pretty good description of it, regardless :lol:

Wow. That is your website too. :roll:

Eh. Maybe I should not complain. It is just as bad as someone constantly posting eBay items. :roll: :roll:

Bless. Lost interest when it came to the techie -stuff. A bit to anorakish for me, but there again I guess what the interview was mainly supposed to be about :oops:

New album before Xmas? Reach for the blade, kiss the sky! :D

Mind you, I have no idea what the date of the interview was, I just came across it after checking out a piece of software Front 242 used on the Speed Tribe DVD.. Though saying that, if its at the front of the Steinberg page then it must be pretty recent..

I'm so damn upset I can barely type. I was sooooo looking forward to the festival of shadows, darkness, vampires, white face makeup and penagrams. I'm shaken I really am. :roll:

Over on the M******'s board there's an email from the promoter claiming that she sold less than 100 tickets for a 900 capacity venue or something. I know their popularity ain't what it was, but less than 100!?!!??

well there are circumstances around this, for 1 the show time for wayme was 11 pm thats way too late for public transport/tubes, 2 it was on a sunday 3 WH solo gigs would never have the pull of a full m*****n show in the same way that ian asbuarys holy barbarians did a pub tour in the ealy 90s 4 the gig had no mainstream promotion and was purely promoted through goth clubs in london.

I saw mr. Wayne performe last night at P60 in Amstelveen, Holland. What a nice chap he is! He was slightly drunk, causing him to forget a lyric here and there, but that was really funny though. Anyways, if any of you are gonna see him soon, enjoy!
