Van der Graftsitthingy

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I saw they were playing Leamington.
I've never heard anything by them.

Yeah me too while we're at it. I know there are one or two (:innocent:) VGG fans on here, where's a good place to start?

I'd go for H to He as a good first one. Pawn Hearts is probably a bit too much. ;D

Don't really know their later material that well so I can't comment there.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

well, believe it or not I'd go for Present http://open.spotify.com/track/5lXhPtmylqSnznSAIvLZm4 the first album they recorded after their 20 or so years hiatus
it's really accessible with shorter songs than their heyday after that try Godbluff http://open.spotify.com/track/6PvxI36z3horWyae29EOHM
