Sisters live in Burgas, Bulgaria, Fri 15 August ?
Or maybe not if you add a link to a sample of your recording to the message.@Diego: I'm seriously thinking about sending him a message on MySpace, just to ask for an explanation. But I'll probably get ignored... Wierded Out

@Eva....thank you for the review! Sounds like that, despite the bad sound, it was still a good gig....voice in good shape, band in "happy mode", great crowd & atmosphere, etc.. Guess that, when it comes to TSOM, you can't have everything. Happy you enjoyed & thanks again for sharing opinions!

Too much information, I'm afraid...
You can't fix stupid.
Oh yes, sometimes you cannot see them, sometimes you cannot hear them, sometimes you cannot understand them, sometimes all of the 3 above... just to finally realise that there is something in them that has little to do with hearing or seeing or understanding...msm67 wrote:Guess that, when it comes to TSOM, you can't have everything.
@emma.... exactly what I meant. No matter what you don't get, you always get the feeling of having been a part of something special & unique. Btw, sorry about your boss. Is this the same one who relented and granted your request for time off to go to Bulgaria?

@dtsom...perhaps we should take up a collection to hire a reliable soundman? Instead of tithing to a church, we can tithe to TSOM Being a Sisters fan is like being part of a religious organization, after all! Damn! Am I going to burn for that one??

My english is very bad Bulgarian language is like Russian, Pollen, Czech, and other languages. Their are simillar. And I will be for next several days out home. So, to translate I should have more days, but in the fact english version is OK in 90 percents.Christian wrote:Can you translate it for us?Better for me read this article in Bulgiarian
I would give it a shotmsm67 wrote:Does anyone on here have the skills to be a soundman? If so, perhaps they need to get their resume to someone with access to . Just an idea
....finally an access to the line-outs^^
@DocSommer...give it a shot! Isn't there something on here about how Chris & Ben respond to messages sent to their myspace links? Send your info to them & see what happens! Just don't forget, if you get the job, everyone on here gets free tickets & backstage passes for life!
Well - guess they are responding as long as nobody ask them to forward a concern to their boss. And unfortunately I can't show an impressive list of references in that business.
For what? Doing fancy dvd's? I don't think that this is going to strike the right note for such an important decisionmsm67 wrote:@DocSommer...I'm sure alot of people here would give you a reference!
Here's my loose translation of the article:
They started with Dr. Jeep / Detonation Blv, it took me 2 minutes to recognize one of my favorite songs I think they played a few new songs I don't know the names of...
P.S. If you are interested, I could as well translate this interview with Andrew tomorrow.
Sorry if some parts of it sound silly, feel free to make fun of themThe Sisters of Mercy showed what it means to be a big rock band without the big fuss, pose and pretentiousness. They appeared on stage around 11 PM in front of a pretty dense crowd filled with boys and girls clad in goth accessories. ( ).
In the thick smoke and lights, vocalist Andrew Eldritch owned the audience with his charismatic stage presence, looking both serious and playful behind his round dark glasses. The guitarist Chris May looked like picked up from an industrial exhibition, and the other one, Ben Christo, could be taken for an Edward Scissorhands clone from the popular movie.
For about an hour, the three musicians, who are not currently on tour but have just a few festival appearances, one of them in Bulgaria, played songs from different periods in the bands discography. Because the audience was pretty diverse, a well-known hit number was needed to unite it and get it really moving. This happened during the encore, when under the light of a full moon, the eternal classic "Temple of Love" was performed which definately was the culmination of the first day of the festival.

No need to make fun (beside that I'm not in the position of doing that^^) - so that was fine and I'd be glad to read a translation of the interview.
