St. Pauli Festival 2003

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.

Just a quick question...

I came across some photos in the Heartland gallery of Eldritch playing bass on stage at Sp. Tali festival 2003. It doesn't look like he is playing with the Sisters.....its in the middle of the day and the other people onstage, Ive no idea who they are.

Its also the only time I have ever seen a photo of Eldritch playing an instrument of any kind, though of course I know he plays keyboards, bass, guitar, and drum machine on recordings...

Anyone know what the story behind these photographs are?

It was New Model Army he was playing with (Or Justin Sullivan and friends :? )

I think it was a benefit gig and as he supports St. Pauli I guess it was the obvious thing to do. :wink:

He should've done Turbonegro instead.

The early stuff always reminded me of the Misfits, but then again, I lost interest in them about 8 years ago....

Hm, well, I am not an expert on this topic but I'd say "virtuosic" might not apply. ;-)

However, it has been a cool day.
