The Marching Men - First Gig

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.

We wouldn't rule it out - find us a promoter willing to get us out there!

We've nearly done our guestlist for tomorrow night's shindig. It's the oddest selection of WaGs I've ever seen.

We do have one lined up for the last weekend in October, but I can think of a few bars we could take over for an evening. Watch this space...

Personally, i think it's a shame no-one stands up to do a Dennis Parker tribute band.

That suitably named legend Unholy Racket has made us at least look like intergalactic rock gods over here.

As always, I am utterly unable to tell you if the audience were getting into it, as a cloudbank descended five centimetres infront of my aviators, but we got paid at the end and isn't that the most important thing?

You got the idea ... and it's only fair since you took the effort. Anyway, there is nothing in this world without room for improvement ... ;D ...

Whilst I'm...honoured by your praise, I'm not entirely sure where you got the idea for your caption from Herr Blast!

I can't honestly answer your query - both gigs we've performed have been without the aid of functioning monitors, so I have no idea how I sound. I suspect, better than the first gig which you've seen filmed - I felt a lot more relaxed on Sunday...
I'd drop my "nae mair gigs" mantra and bust a nut to see them...
I've already suggested a jaunt to Glesgae, knowing we'd have a warm reception (even if that's just a bottle of p*ss being thrown at us) - I think we need to seriously make this happen.

For those interested, the set list was:

First and Last And Always
Lights
Lucretia
Fix
Crash and Burn
Amphetamine Logic
Something Fast
Alice.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.

Cool - good to see you expanding the repertoire - and the size of the band!
