Sisters in 2006

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.

Perhaps it's not simple, but they're turning it into a completely redesigned one (//live news page) :innocent: :lol:

Probably not. The Merciful Release site is down too, so it's probably just a DNS problem, or Von's lease on the domains finally ran out.

Ten pages after dissecting a two-line update on the site with every single meaning of the words silver, bullet, vegas, love, etc....it's real.

Nice. Anyone thinking they can sell out the HOB? That's a long way to trek, damn it.

And yes, the site is down. Maybe they're linking up with the HOB site? Adding more dates? Hmmmmm...

Then it's a DNS issue. Looks like you have the last two addresses cached. I can't get to any.

I've just tried this and my non US zip code is being spat back at me. :(

Edit: Apparently member ticketing is only available to US and Canadian residents.

About selling out HOB, think not. They didn't do it the last time..

You have to go to my account and enter your billing info.
You are not able to have tickets sent to you, they have to be picked up at the venue.

Not the best policies I agree.

In order to do that, I need an account in the first place, and according to the site, registering as a member requires a US or Canadian zip code. So it looks like those of us who can't access a zip code in either country will need to wait till tickets are available to the general public.

Well, a friend in Las Vegas said the HOB is the smallest venue in the city... I've heard they have somewhere between 1800-2200 person capacity. Since it's their 25th anniversary, and since they haven't come to the US in years, I think they might.

The most annoying thing was that I was online at 10:00 AM PT today and there wasn't anything different on any website! Oh well, tickets are still available.



I doubt you're going to get a bootleg though, unless someone can hide a microphone really well. My friend said they're very strict; apparently they very much keep up with the rules listed on the ticket page.


Now to plan a flight and room...

We've got another one! Not sure if you can consider two confirmed shows an indicator of a full tour, but info is now up for a date on February 18'th here in Phoenix:

I think this is obviously a full tour.
I've already got tickets for Vegas.
I would be slightly annoyed though if I've invested in Vegas and they decide to roll through Minneapolis or (bloody unlikely) Winnipeg.
Either way, I'm still smilin'.

Great for the USA fans. It has been a while ago ever since they did the USA.

Phoenix? I hope the Sisters will act like this bird.....rising from it's own ashes in full strenght. Tour/DVD/CD......I am dreaming again. :oops:

I still hope they will do Europe as well.

So what do specialists reckon: A smallish tour like we - Europeans - got this summer?

Fingers crossed for us though

I am still hoping for the Martian dates in Europe or maybe some festivals on the mainland during summer. 8)
