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.
myself and a few mates (including someone who will remain nameless, till he 'fess's up!) will be there for the Glasgow recital of this reformed combo.
VDGG are probably the first 'Gothic', in the true sense of the word, band. Their leader even recorded this
which I have still to hear

A bit more info is needed James I think-
Where?
When?
And who the f**k is it'll do for starters.
Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"
VDGG they stopped having a bass player after the first couple of albums, too

OK, he means me. I'm not familiar with the band myself but I'm trusting the judgement of a couple of good friends with very good taste - Mr Blast being one of them. The band has been compared to early Genesis, so that's enough to get my attention.

Still utterly amazed that it took some Blast Intervention(tm) to motivate me to check them out further. I'd heard enough to get to the point where I'd normally check out a band, but never got round to it with the mighty VDGG.
So Pawn Hearts is the one, right? And H to He is also mighty fine. But I've also heard good stuff about Godbluff. How does it compare?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
I think a Godbluff DVD could find its way to Dublin, whaddya rekon Master Z?
Blast Productsâ„¢ there for those awkward Progrock moments

Recommendation for the VDGG novice would be welcome.
I would actually recommend their most recent album 'Present'.
I think you ken the drill aboot 'evaluation copies' Willie.

You'll have to leave that one to Blast, as our resident VDGG-meister. Doing what I did and buying Pawn Hearts, then listening to A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers first - all on the back of a relative handful of tracks - is most certainly not for the fainthearted. If you feel you're up to it, by all means do, but if you're found crawling out of a hedge with bits of foliage in your hair the next morning, screaming "I prophesy disaster!!!" at complete strangers, don't come running to me!!!

did you listen to the Glasgow 2005 gig (which I and my most esteemed colleague Andrew S were at) Michael?
That one's a Killer!
