The Sisters Of Murphy + Rhombus - 5th August (Leeds)

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.

Blimey Scardwel, that was a QUICK post! 10:56pm - I hadn't even got out of Subculture yet!

Excellent evening b.t.w. The Smurphs and Rhombus were in fine form! Introduced my teenage son to the joys of loud music and sticky underground nightclubs. Now he wants to see the Smurphs in Crewe.

Sorry I missed it but after a night of carnage on Planet Dave, I slept through it :oops:

So much better than the real thing it's actually embarrasing.

Great gig folks, wailing Maya vocals and all. Cheers and congrats on the 10th anniv. 8) :notworthy:
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

Got to agree with Dave.
Better than than the real thing.
Great gig & great night (even the wailing version of TOL was good :wink: )
Was funny to see the expanse of black goffness with a massive, pasty, white Belgian half naked in the middle of it all :lol:
Cheers.

Rhombus was excellent (Ed, you sound exactly like that guy from Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - hope that's not an insult! :eek:); the Smurphs blew me right the hell away. Not sure who's the cover band, now...I think ol' Eldo oughtta get some tips from Mockeldritch and the rest of you lot! Fanf*ckingtastic! It was an honor to be there for your 10th, kiddies! Just amazing. ;D :notworthy:

Most marvellous gigs :notworthy: Sadly, this year the Sisters scored just higher on my Sweat-to-Music ratio. But a rather amazing gig nevertheless, absolutely loved every bit of it :notworty:

And good to see Scardy back alive as well :D
