Skeletal Family and Salvation – October Tour 2014

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Wow! A classic. What a room!
This place is gonna swing tonight.
It's a f**king barn. We'll never fill it.
We've gotta fill this hall tonight.
A lot of young children are depending on it.
Young children? What do you mean?

Thirteen quid is a bargain for both bands. Think James is right about the venue size, though. They hardly merit a "priority pre-sale" these days.

Will be in London. No doubt it will be moved upstairs like the last few gigs I've been to there - Lorries & Violets.

Ooh, Glasgow.
To be honest, I'd have stuck them downstairs in the Classic, or in ABC2. The last two Violets gigs have been 140 and 90, I'd expect not much more than 100 for this gig.
There is no way that a hall like the Academy will be appropriate, but f**k it, I'll be going.

EDIT: The Glasgow gig appears to have been moved to ABC2. No s**t. :roll:

I'm not saving up a month's wages to put on a couple of goth bands.


Again.



Maybe.

Having now seen Skeletal Family twice within the last 2 year, that's a gig I certainly will not be supporting. Everything they play has been slowed down to a painful pace. Really not nice.

Have to say that neither band did much for me when they supported the Nephilim a couple of years ago.
