hah, 1996 ... a long wait from 1993 ... and two weeks before I had driven some 400km to once in a lifetime see The Sisters play in their chosen hometown of Hamburg ...Mothra wrote: Happens Hof, Ochtrup, Germany - https://sisterswiki.org/Sat,_13-Jul-1996

... ... ...Can anyone find details of a gig in Hull, the day after the Kingston Poly one ^? Sure I can remember getting back up here on the coach after a London gig, doing the s**t/shave/shower routine, then heading over to Hull on the Friday nightMothra wrote:Yesterday was a missed opportunity, the Sisters have played many gigs on the 29th June.
As for today, the Sisters played in Kingston (South West London, not Jamaica) - https://sisterswiki.org/Thu,_30-Jun-1983, and then this date remained a gig free zone until 2006, when they played the Festival of Metal (https://sisterswiki.org/Fri,_30-Jun-2006), in Helsinki. So maybe this belongs in the Heartland Metal thread?!

Pretty sure they're busy recording loads of stuff as usual on the 16thMothra wrote:
There are no known Sisters shows on 16th July.
Is it their equivalent of a national holiday I wonder?
Just read up about the venerable Verdun Auditorium, which is currently being renovated and the 1970's steel cladding is being removed to reveal the 1930's brick art deco facade. I know which one I prefer!Mothra wrote:I missed one yesterday, but it is a bit of a ghost gig in the middle of a big tour - July 15th 1991, Verdun Auditorium, Montreal, Canada. Presumably a run of the mill Vision Thing era show, decent sized venue, big city, and at a guess, an under-attended one, seeing as this was the tour that got pulled after a few more dates.

Yeah 10 years already. I still remember how dearly I wanted to go to Suikerrock, as I had already missed Zottegem in 2007 ... but again I couldn't manage to get a ticket from Belgium ...Mothra wrote:Thursday 17th July (https://sisterswiki.org/Thu,_17-Jul-2008), Festival Mares Vivas, Porto, Portugal.
Does anyone have this one that they are willing to share, it's missing from my collection.
Used to be up on Dark Circle Room (http://darkcircleroom4.blogspot.com/200 ... mment-form), but I must have missed it way back then (strange, but I think of the 2008 gigs as being quite recent, but it's ten years - to the day!)
