Post your reviews of Sisters-related material or interviews with Sisters-related musicians here. And don't believe the hype: 1985 most definitely is a fashion statement.

Q.: But at the same time you deny every connection with the Goth culture, your fans thinks you as the "Fathers of Gothic Rock". What is your thoughts about "Musical categoriezation"?

Q.: Do you believe that a Group will appear soon in these days, that will

Q.: Do you believe that a Group will appear soon in these days, that will shake things up in the Rock Music, like you did back in decade of 80's?

A.: Nope, i don't have any hope for this to happen today.


Q.: Are you afraid that the economical crisis might affect you record sales or concert tickets?

A.: We will continue to do what we are doing like always, no matter what would happen...

Q.: What do you plan to play in Athens?

A.: A mixture of old hits and some new songs that we have never played before in Greece. We like Greece very much, it is a warm and beautiful country and we are ready to have fun and dance there.

What fans? Those who register here out of the blue in order to complain about the poor quality of a Sisters gig they saw the day before?
Thanks for the translation. :D
