Strawberry Switchblade

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.

Famous for being, well...I don't really know, but they made Since Yesterday which is a rather good pop song.

I have another of their songs on 12". It isn't very good.

Wasn't that the reason Von put them back on the bill at Philly 97? After he'd had twenty four hours to drool over their pictures? :von:

Rose went on to sing in Into a Circle alongside Bee & toured / recorded with them . She's now in Sorrow who are really just her and her husband ....and are crap . Imagine an angelic voice without much music going "LAAAAAAAAA LAAAAAAAAAAA" but for an hour .
She is now (sexist alert sexist alert !!) as big as a great big lardy arse goth bird could be . Her husband has a vague look of Huey from Fun Lovin Criminals .

I would've but I wouldn't now :D

The interview section, rather surprisingly, deals with stuff like fascism, nazi paraphernalia (S.S.), satanism and Genesis P. Orridge. Always interesting to read interviews will Bill Drummond, as well.

I was (am?) a hugh fan of Strawberry Swichblade - I remember spending hours in Soho (London) record shops in 1991 looking for the last 7" I did not have - which happens to be "Jolene" - Its cost me £7.00 too - second hand!!!!!!

I also have on VHS a performance of "Jolene" on The Tube filmed outside! - Rose is looking very sexy in a very very tight full length Black PVC Catsuit - GGGGRRRRR!!!!!!!! - The Other One looked terrified - but I hear she was an agrophobe at the time!

Shame to hear that Rose is now the "Side Of A House" - perhaps that "Catsuit" will make its way on to 'ebay' ;-)

I was thinking of checking out "Sorrow" - are ANY of their recordings any good?

Knew I Be Pleased.....

Those two girls (The Alladin brothers) were backing singers for Doctor and The Medics too. Fact.
