Eureka Machines news

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.

More dates on the way soon for Eureka Machines in May and June, including one in London.

On another tip, you might remember they won a couple of gongs (to add to the one that forms part of Wayne's drumkit) at the Pure Rawk Awards last year. Well, they've only gone and been nominated for a couple at the 2011 bash. The voting page is here:

http://www.kwiksurveys.com/online-surve ... L_afa521f2

Wayne's up for best drummer (and by heck he deserves it) and the new video's in there too. As is their label (Wrath Records) and a ton of other good stuff. If there are any categories with nobody you're bothered about, they can be left blank though...

Glad you enjoyed it.

Set was curtailed somewhat due to emergency new drummer scenario.

Will make sure they check passports at the door for knobbers next time (although your Sisters t-shirts did give you away somewhat ) !! :twisted:

If I can find them a venue in Gartang it's a distinct possibility.

Tom's from Norfolk anyway so he'd be used to it :twisted:

latest update:

---------------

Here's a little update about what's going on in EM-land...

1) AWARDS

We're up for two gongs at the Pure Rawk Awards, following our double win last year - this time it's Best Drummer for Wayne, and Best Video for These Are The People Who Live In My House. The voting closes at midnight this coming Monday (February 21) - if you haven't voted yet, please take a minute to do so (and feel free to ask any hopefully like-minded friends to do the same). The link is:

http://www.purerawk.com/awards

...and remember you don't need to vote in every category, just the ones you've got a strong opinion on. Other notable nominees include our lovely label Wrath Records, former touring partners such as Shush and Obsessive Compulsive, and Trudi Knight who has taken many of the live pictures that grace our website. Get voting!

2) GIG ACTION

We're delighted to tell you we're doing some gigs with Gogol Bordello. Chris met them when he supported them in his stint with Mariachi El Bronx, and was pleased to report they are gentlemen/women to a man/woman. They're also brilliant live, which is nice. We like playing with bands who are brilliant live.

Gigs are as follows:

Sunday 13 March - The Academy, Bristol (with Gogol Bordello)
Monday 14 March - HMV Picturehouse, Edinburgh (with Gogol Bordello)

We're also pleased to say that we'll be supporting Wolfsbane at their one-off London comeback gig in April (Saturday 9th). Unfortunately/fortunately this gig sold out a long time ago, but for the lucky few hundred who have tickets, let it be known that we have been studying at the Bible Of Rock, and we'll be turning in the metal set that night. Expect wigs, expect horns and expect a skull motif on the gearstick.

There's also a couple of other gigs turning up on the horizon, including a festival in Whitby, and a lot more to be announced in the near future.

3) ALBUM

In other news, the album is done, and is currently being mastered. It is, in our humble consideration, the best thing that any of us have ever done. Watch out for its release and our tour in May.

That's all for now... more very soon.

Aye aye! If anyone feels like rocking their socks off, the above-mentioned sold out Wolfsbane support in London is suddenly not sold out anymore, after months of this having been the case...

Cheers to anyone who put the vote in! They won one of the two awards, namely Best Video. There's a good chance you've seen the video... but you've probably not seen this yet: :D
