Gig reviews, set lists, thoughts, comments and observations on the 2008/2009 Sisters tour, including the Autumn/Winter 2008 U.S. and European 2009 legs.
I've seen the Sisters live, but I haven't seen them in Leeds before. Does anyone recommend anywhere significant to the Sisters that I could visit while in Leeds? Thank you.
Well, outside my best friends halls is a rather large headstone/monument that the band posed on for group photo (Wayne, Marx, Adams, Eldo era). Adds to the likelyhood that maybe one or more of them was living in those halls
One might add The Phono to the list of potential holy sites: Nightclub and hangout of the girls - sadly it no longer exists. DJ Phono Paul has taken the spirit of La Phonographique with him to The Subculture, which still runs the Sheepish nights which, IIRC originated in the Phono.
The site of greatest Sisters significance? Wherever the Heartland meetup is!
Think that "significant Leeds places" thingy was something to do with Francis wasn't it around the Smoke & Mirrors tour? Can't remember exactly.
Not got my tickets yet anyway, just rang the venue to make sure they still had plenty & "We've still actually got quite a lot of tickets for sale" was the answer.
Might even buy on the door!

it will be in the club space underneath the concert hall, will start when the gig ends (approx 11pm) and run until 2am
it will be free entry for all you happy little gig go-ers
and this is my personal favourite bit of it: phono paul and myself have been asked to dj it
i guess those of us not going to laahndan had all better book the thursday off work, huh?
*bump*
just to let the newcomers to this particular party know...
What’s the difference between a buffalo and a bison?
Try the warehouse somers street where a few of the early gigs where and where the band also frequented (dont let people tell you they only went out at the phono), I often had beers with Craig and gary there 83 ish. The faversham was another place frequented by the band
Hi, I'm coming all the way from New Zealand for both the UK dates. Never seen them live as they've never been down my neck of the woods but fulfilling a 25 year dream. Will see you all there I guess not to mention the before and after parties.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
