Two seminal bands from TSOM history on tour

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.

Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey warm-up show (Reading UK)

http://youtu.be/6EDzfpy0l9Y

I love the bit (12mins in) where Tom Bailey says what he'd call his backing band "if the name wasn't already taken..." :lol:

Saw highlights on Sky Arts t'other night too (Rewind Festival) - stonking.

According to Tom's Twitter feed he's obviously had second thoughts and used it anyway. :von: 's lawyers will be pleased, as they won't have had much work recently.
