Interestingly (or not), I know Davey's son on another (non music) forum. He was unaware of this photo / shoot, and was dead proud of his dad when I bought his inclusion to his attention :D

Nice band pic :eek:

A throwaway read-into-it -

Ben looks calm (steady profile). Davey's a tad intense (avert gaze, clenched hands). Dylan's defiant (look at that chin). Von leans sideways like he's curious about the camera lens.

The guy's spent half his life NOT releasing the next Sisters album. Maybe he needs some variety.

:von: i'll bet he was. when you're a teen tryying to be 'cool' parents can be seen as an embarrassment but really who wouldnt be proud for their old dad to be a bit of a rock star?
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

I'm seeing rumours (on Farcebook) of a tour of South America during the 6 week gap between Mera Luna and Benidorm. The poster reads (with a dodgy font):

"LatinAmerica Tour 2020
Mexico - Brazil - Peru - Chile - Uruguay
August - September"

No idea if it's legit. :|

Hi,
I just opened Spotify this morning and saw a photo of the band that I haven't seen before. Has anyone else seen this anywhere else before?
