Gary Marx - What a nice man.

Know the whereabouts of any ex-Sisters members or hangers-on? Got any amusing anecdotes about members of the band, past or present? Post 'em here...

Exclusive sneak peak of a video for Teenage Prayer (only be available as a limited edition 7” single with the initial 250 copies of the vinyl album).




I say "exclusive" because that nice Mr. Marx sent us the link and told all the other outlets to hold off for a couple of days so we could all see it first :o

Truly a nice man.

Aw that's wicked. Seems a long time ago now that i was bothering him with my continued correspondance (which in fairness i kept up because he was so nice and kept replying) but he really does appreciate us Sisters fans. Proper gent.
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!"

Very kind, indeed ... :D ... thank you very much ... :D :notworthy: ...

That looks crazy. A bit like crazy in the 70s, but of course beyond. Curious to see the whole thing when it's released ... :) ...

It's arrived.

And I received a notice from sender Gary Marks, with the adress handwritten on the sleeve. What a nice little story...

Patchy recording of Gary playing SKOS at the end of the gig on Friday



Apparently he's waiting for a better quality recording to be finished up, but in the meantime he wanted to share that with us :)

Thoroughly enjoyed, looking forward to the more official version. That guitar tone, so damn iconic and glad to hear he's still capturing it so well.

Nice to see Phantom getting it's time in the limelight. Honestly this is a better rendition than the official release.
Looking forward to the sudden surge of cover versions from the enthusiastic fanbase.

Is that some interesting alternate verses there on SKOS? I'm going to have to have a closer listen...

Both Ends Burning from Roxy Music if I had to bet.
This song near the end has the same melodic movement that China Girl and SKOS too.

yep, china girl (by bowie and iggy) and both ends burning (roxy music, covered by ghost dance)

he actually says "both ends burning" at 5.18 secs (ish)

What a thoroughly superb evening that must have been.
I loved the songs and got goosebumps when I heard the old songs played by the master himself. And I can only agree, what a lovely man he is.
Thank you so much for putting the vids up and a big thank you to Gary Marx for caring about us old bunch as he does. He really is something special.

it was pretty amazing :D

he came across as a genuine, self-deprecating and reflective guy, who didn't take himself too seriously (at all).
