Sisters spotting

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.

I don't think so, he looks more likely to be the tall guy I saw wearing a blue (and grey of course ;D ) Overbombing tour shirt, dunno for sure though. Apparently Chris was posting pics of a cat at home that evening so presumably wasn't there.
He's the tour promoter.

In the grim cyberpunk future of 2040, they'll still be into classic TSOM

Mr. William Broad (Billy Idol to his mates) namechecks Vision Thing in The Graun today:
What did you think about your former Generation X bandmate Tony James forming Sigue Sigue Sputnik and then later joining Sisters of Mercy?
I thought it was fantastic. I really enjoyed what Tony was doing with the sort of transgender roadies he had in Sigue Sigue Sputnik, which was very futuristic – and I love that Sisters of Mercy album, Vision Thing. I’d gone to America and I was doing quite well so it was great to see Tony was doing really great in England. We play Vision Thing before every Billy Idol show.

Yeah, but SSS's roadies weren't trans, they were just really tall women (he may be getting confused with their support band Transsexual SS)

If memory serves me well, The Sisters are also mentioned in other works from WhiteWolf, I remember seeing a sisters quote in Vampire The Masquerade at some point, and/or some character having it as their favourite band on the Sabbath Players Guide.

They released an album back in the day called Music from Succubus Club, with tons of well-known bands including The Mish and Bella Morte, I heard that they tried to get the Girls in this compilation but couldn't get a hold of Von.

I was doubtful if they'd have been able to pull it off, but they do seem to have taken a firm grip of it.

A snippet of This Corrosion can be heard in episode 8 of the TV version of Time Bandits.

Not bad, but not a patch on the original.

AE will be delighted to see that FALAA is not considered “goth enough” on the (NSFW) video on this recent club classic from Florida artist Last Grasp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSlk_pJPYac

Yup it's there, as well as in so~called expansion packs.
