Batley - West Yorkshire 1984

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.

I just had to share this....

clicky

Anyone who grew up in the UK in the 80's will find this fascinating....

If nothing else - fwd to 22.48 and see what the DJ cues up after the Banshees track he's playing.

enjoy and remember how it used to be.....

Thanks for posting the link to this amazing time capsule. It's so typical with the "weekend alternatives" packing the dancefloor for the not-at-all-goth likes of The Associates, Blancmange, Soft Cell and, erm, Pat Benatar, whilst the hard-core goffs are up for Sex Gang Children, Death Cult and The Birthday Party for example. Saddest moment has to be the solo dancer for the apparently unpopular March Violets at about 1:35:00 ("bluddy stee-oodents !").

Oh My God that was brilliant... :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

I saw this a while back, brilliant I love it....it is classic 'back in the day' stuff. There was always a 'lone dancer' as pointed out by Nikolas Vitus Lagartija in every club doing their version of Strictly Come Goth, woe betide you if you got in their way :lol:
