No you're not bitchy. Just seeing omen where there's only canned meat at Tesco's.

Dear Gawd!
My avatars are as technically innovated as Dok is, James. It's the 8-bit style i crave for.

A brief concert review: The Sisters Of Mercy

I'll admit right off I can't be objective here. I adore The Sisters, still, even though the bastards haven't released anything in the better part of two decades. I know all the new songs, the stuff they've only ever played live. (See above.) So I'm a little biased. Still, I expected to be disappointed, to go see a band live that I've loved for years and years and find them tired and dull, but I had to go because I just had to see them at least once and...

...find my fears completely unfounded.
This was exactly how I felt about the show that I saw them play in Toronto, but the only review of our show was horrid!

Bitching aside. I hope that you all enjoyed your show as much as we all did here in Toronto.

...and a very belated hello as well!

And thank you, DrG, for the recording. I've never had a bootleg of a show I actually attended before. :)

Key words from that review: nostalgia show. Though they don't record anymore, The Sisters are a living band. This might be precisely why they're sometimes viewed as a nostalgia act, though, unlike some of their contemporaries- The Cure, Depeche Mode and the like, who still release albums.

Peter Murphy is in absolutely fine form if you want to see someone trot out all the old hits (plus a couple newer Bauhaus numbers from Go Away White, which I didn't care for at all, really- they ramped up the '70s glam influence but minus the fun.) note-for-note.
