Going to see the Detroit show and was wondering if those who have seen them on this tour can give me an idea of the time that the Sisters have typically been taking the stage.
Thanks in advance.

pretty promptly at 10pm, earlier in some clubs, later in others.

They've always started between 9 and 9:30, when doors opened at 7. If they opened at 8 they'd usually come on stage around 10 pm.

First post on this site. I'm going to see them in Royal Oak tonight. Second time I've seen them. First time was at the State Theater in Detroit, late 90s.

New Sisters song...Top Nite Out Pt. 2:Quick Nite Out!
I'm starting to feel worried.
By the time :von: and crew get to the west coast, they're gonna be so bored and burned out...who's gonna care?
Ticket sales are also down it seems..due to the economy..or were a lot of people underwhelmed by the last North American tour?
