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'd say be patient about the UK and go to Paris anyway.

That was a cheap ticket price for Amsterdam!
I believe in a quick announcement of all the remaining dates very soon, otherwise they won't get the tour shirt ready in time

In 2006 at first there was a tourshirt with USA dates only. Got one.

Yes I bought one of those in Philadelphia, but I just thought suspiciously many dates have been announced very far in advance now.
But...let's hope there are too many dates to fit on one shirt

Thanks, but does n't the price tag suggest a mini gig 1hr 15 min. (I read somewhere that there were two options for booking)

Then you can pencil me in for a beer my friend !
I haven't seen you - and Barry, and Zeno, and Laurent, etc. - in more than two years, so imagine just how happy I was when I saw that the Girls were going to bite Paris again !
The Bataclan is obviously much smaller than the Zénith, but it's a very nice place nonetheless, with a real indie edge.
I'd end this moment to be with you
Through morphic oceans I'd lay here with you

Ahum....It was a suggestion towards markreed.
Myself I will do Amsterdam, Köln and the UK.

Gollum's Cock : Maybe yes. It was discussed in 2006 as well. I remember that Cologne was a cheaper one but not that it was a shorter than normal setlist.

It's quite a regular price for, er, an act in this state. dEUS is 30 (those Belgians again), Dr. John is 25, Calexico is 21 euro, Motorpsycho is 20, Mercury Rev is 18. etc.
I remember seeing Fad Gadget for... 10 euro?

Thank god, then there's a little warm up for re-tuning the guitars and setup Dok correctly so Paradiso doesn't have to deal with the tech problems
