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.

Thanks for confirming this as Ticketweb couldn't. Will definitely be getting tickets now. :D

The band say this is a mix-up and they're looking into it. Will let you know the outcome ASAP but it's certainly their belief that they're doing it...

There's another new track up on www.eurekamachines.com. Did anyone spot the chaps in The Sun last week? Seems that all the press has been good press so far.

A website news update from the lads... there's a also new video up on YouTube which you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=himb9dR3MWk


Hello,

The new Eureka Machines album is out. Hooray. As you're probably sick of hearing by now, it's called Champion The Underdog, and it's available from all the usual spots - iTunes, Spotify, record shops and of course this here website. If you buy it directly from us, then we get most of the cash, and boy do we need it.

We're also doing some gigs. This week, it's Thurs: Preston (Bittersuite), Fri: Manchester (Retro Bar), Sat: Blackpool (Belle Vue) and Sun: Doncaster (Leopard). Yeah, we hang out in some pretty salubrious spots. It's Down South next week. Please come and see us and say hello. Of course, the new album will be on sale at the gigs, along with the first one and some shirts etc. Come see us, we're doing a load of the new stuff, it'll be ace.

To celebrate the tour and the album, we're putting a new single out. It's called Beginning Of The End Of The World. It's another magical AshTV production. And once again we need YOU to spread it around on Facebook and Twitter and all that. Maybe even tell your real-life friends too. You can see it HERE.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=himb9dR3MWk

Finally, we've been told that the album has made it onto some nefarious download sites. The main thing we want to do with our tunes is get them out so that the world hears them, but please bear in mind that we are skint and it has cost us money to make this record. Do what you do, but please support underground music and spread the word about us. Without you lot, we have no-one on our side at all. Festivals won't book us because we don't have an agent, magazines won't write about us because we don't have a press dude (... who spends money on advertising with them), radio won't play us as we're 'too rock for the daytime and too pop for the nighttime'... as ever, we need your help to try and infiltrate the mainstream. To our ears, we sit up there with the Foo Fighters or Kaiser Chiefs or even the more recent Green Day stuff. This probably sounds conceited, but sod it, we are our favourite band too and the time for platitudes is over. Please tell your friends about this album, get them listening, get them involved and get them along to a gig. This might not be how we make a living, but we genuinely can't afford to be a band any more if we can't at least make it pay for itself.

Thank you for the continuing support. We hope you enjoy the album.

EM

I went to the Croydon gig last night with a mate, very enjoyable indeed. Chris was in top form with plenty of banter with the crowd. I thought Kitty Hudson were decent as support as well.

Listening to Champion now and would recommend it.
