I'd be surprised if they do, especially after the 1998 cancellations. If they couldn't sell enough tickets back then, what chance have they got now?

Hmmm... taking the transsiberian rail trip with the destination being a Sisters gig - well, now you got me from seeing it as a distant hypothetical unlikely event to seeing it as a wet dream come true. And yes, I have some basic communicative knowledge of russian.

nice idea, but highly unlikely IMO...

That's a good point, but they are less expensive today than back in 98 and in the interview/press release Eldritch also says "That was for you. This is for us." suggesting they now go to places where they wish to play themselves.

Discussing with Jurgen the sound engineer this week-end at a cocnert I have organized in France, there are indeed some talks for Central America and Asia, but for next autumn ...

That would be absolutely great. Enough time to save the money and plan things.

Oh well. This is indeed crazy.

Beginning of november in Japan would be excellent...anyone here from the Sisters crew to take wishes?

I can very much vouch for seat61's qualities when it comes to train travelling abroad. Excellent site!

Wonderful news, maybe that will give him enough time to finish putting the final touches on the new one before he announces it in the fall. What better place to announce it?

If they play in Japan the show should be sold out, they have a lot of fans over here. I really hope they can make it as I have never seen them live before!

It was good stuff, the chemist called it, uh, what did he call it again?

Oh, that's right, "Overdemanding".

Thanks for the info, eggi. Then I can definitely write this off, I would never go to Japan in july/august anyway. My friends in Tokyo tell about impossibly hot and muggy weather.

Let's hope it's about 2 weeks later then, so _emma_ can get there in time by train

Exactly. And if you have the chance to go to Japan ... hell, f**k the weather ...

When friends accuse me of being a Sisters fanatic, it's always good to be able to point them in this direction, for much more severe cases.

No really, have fun people, if they/you go there, and don't forget your recorder
