Media Alert - Marx interview in Friday's Guardian

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.

This Friday's Guardian "arts/media" supplement will have a feature on Goth :lol: :notworthy:

As part of that feature there will be an interview with Gary Marx :notworthy:

(There is also an interview with All About Eve's Julianne Reagan, I gather)

The article will have photos of various original Goth bands, including Alien Sex Fiend, All About Eve, etc etc, and our very own "we're not Goth!" Goths, The Sisters of Mercy (early line-up, before you ask!).

I've just received a call from a chap called Mark from the aforementioned magazine requesting info about photos - putting names to faces etc

I've also told him that he is more than welcome to use any Sisters photos from the Image Gallery, should he require :)

There's one specific Sisters "band" photo he's going to run with from '84 that's used on the "Unmarked Door" bootleg:

Image

but he's also looking at a few others as possible options. :)

He's also said he will try and get a plug for Heartland into the article ;) :innocent:

So there. Buy Friday's Guardian :von:

Also keep your eye on this page: http://arts.guardian.co.uk/

Cool. Time to see if there will be a spike in people registering. Are you sure that he is not just going to pluck out quotes from the HL interview of Mr. Marx and claim that it is a new interview? :lol:

By the way, this photo

Image

also was used on concert posters from the Prague gig in 1998. :!:

Is that the Dave Simpson who used to write for the Melody Maker in the 1990s?
