I also have a Sisters shirt collection...

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.

Your excused, my friend ;D
That does seem like a most perfect recipe to get things mixed up and you might even be right about the dad thing vs barechested freak-out :innocent:



and now back on topic: This was my fave for years (mine was shortsleeved though) and wore it all the time, but it got stolen at the Dour festival in 98:

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone... I'm very interested to see what else others have collected over the years. Its nice to see that after all the poking fun at by friends and family, I'm not the only one obsessing over these shirts... :D :D :D

Also hand-painted. I think its a pretty good job, no?

You might be in luck with the Jesus shirt,there is a chance they might make some more. At the Glasgow gig a couple of months ago they were selling "f**k Me And Marry Me Young" "Hot Metal And Methedrine" and "Gift" t shirts,all with Sisters Reptile backprints.

That's great news. If they ever decide to play on this side of the pond again, I'll wait with baited breath...
