Sisters to play Rock Zottegem, Belgium

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.

The cynisism is not new Eric and will always be there.
Sometimes I don't like it, other times I don't care.
Jezus loves the Sisters. So do we! :wink:

"Hey Von, if you need some cash for the chemist, there's another festival with too friendly people in the organization who turned up with an interesting pay check for a Sisters show... They switch the smoke machine on, you only have to hide in the fog and act you're a singer."

"Uhu. When's the party?"

"It says... early July."

"Let them pay cash in advance. Have you called Ben and Chris already?"

"...No."

"Fine, keep it that way. Gonna do it by myself this time."
who would that be, calling him? you think he has a manager? :lol: :P

you might get wet, cold and probably bored...the impact will be that they are last on stage :? which might result in a shorter set, depending on noise restrictions and time limits.[/quote]

You're right. But I might also get very drunk in blazing sunshine, and I don't think its possible for a gig to be played at a lower volume level than last year's London show. :)

Like I say, tempted, not convinced........

Good news indeed but I hope Von will have some time to work on a new setlist for our pleasure ...

And I hope he comes back to play in France at the Rock en Seine festival with Bjork, that would be awesome :)

There was this Solidays rumour a couple years ago, wasn't it ? :)

FIY Solidays is a huge festival, and apparently there were some serious talks back then. Why it didn't happen I have no idea though. :|

It was 2 years ago indeed that the rumors appeared, maybe Von was not read yet to play in France ;)

We'll take care of you Debs, don't be afraid :wink:

Zottegem has a station of its own, apparently you need to go to Brussels in order to get there

Thanks Z! And if you put that "take care" down as a promise, you have yourself a deal! :wink:
