Wayne's Second Book Is Out

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.

'Heady Daze' due to be published in April 2023 according to a message from the m*****n.

Presumably it takes up the story from when Craig and him leave the Sisters in 1985. If it's anything like Salad Daze it should be a very entertaining read to say the least.

it also seems to coveniently cover up to the point i lost interest in them, stopped buying their records and last saw them live, basically around the time of the first World Crusade.

I've got Paint My Name and Waiting For Another War and love them both. I'm not a Hussey/Mish fan and would love the inside track on the band but based on his lyrics, the idea of a book by Wayne (apologise Wayne fans) just seems unreadable.

The ethical link, for those that are interested.

Salad Daze was great, is essential reading!

I'm not a Wayne fan.

I give the Mish a pass for their first 2 singles, and if you put enough beer into me I might be coerced into admitting that Wasteland, Beyond the Pale and Deliverance are great songs, but I need to stop there.

Salad Daze is a brilliant book and you're doing yourself a disservice by not reading it. Wayne has a good writing style, it's packed with anecdotes and observations you won't get anywhere else, and it's coverage of the Liverpool post punk scene in his pre-Sisters years is particularly good. It's a great complement to the other 2 books, from someone who was actually there as it was all going down, and Wayne went way up in my estimation from reading it.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

You and me both... I guess I'll have to read this book then.
