Know the whereabouts of any ex-Sisters members or hangers-on? Got any amusing anecdotes about members of the band, past or present? Post 'em here...

We like old news, old rumours, old bands and old songs, so:

According the famous well known site http://tours.tsom.org/1997dot/ it was
Perry Bamonte from The Cure who turned down invitation to be the replacement of Chris Starling. (and then Mike Varjak entered the set)

Funny... i always thought Von didn't like The Cure. How would that've been gone?

It's the other way around. Perry has always been a Sisters fan.

Maybe he just didn't want to leave The Cure.
Or maybe he didn't have enough self confidence to play lead guitar.
Or maybe Von wasn't able to offer enough cash.
Or maybe it was just a rumour (Perry being a Sisters fan is no rumour though).

He could do it now, though. Mr. Bamonte left The Cure tribute band this year.

Take it, that you weren't too keen on 'The Cure' L.P. then?

Apparently, Perry didn't leave, as such, but was told to go

I never realised that Eldritch wasn't a fan of The Cure.. Always assumed from the Perry rumour that there was some kind of respect there

We've noticed that too, Bob.
