Black Francis talks about new album and the sisters of mercy

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.

Do you think so? I don't know The Pixies all that well, but the remark about the opera sort of approach (or what I caught of it) is not all bad, IMHO.
Of course, it doesn't work for every band, but some it might really benefit fron it... and their audiences, too.

Concept concert or not, that's about it. And there are quite some bands with big pre-planned shows, loads of effects and so on. Sometimes it works very well.
Also, I don't see much difference to fantasy gaming there, which has a lot of fans.

Not me, though. And on the other hand, during the Serious Moonlight Tour Bowie tried to do something similar ... and it was never as good as his "free" concerts ...

Saw them last night, they were brilliant and doing all the things that a certain other band can't be bothered with - you know, making an effort, releasing stuff, being properly loud etc.
