I am sure the girls will gig in the UK maybe only one gig, he knows that we'll go to the away games if they are announced first.

My money is on at least a London gig at the SBE or Roundhouse.

stll not 50 gig s in the list, put UK dates at end alwayz as no promoter intially interested by time of big tour with nos of peepes and tix then KU looks good again

new songs// old songs : all 'slow' songs to protect the 'voice'

Bit early in the morning for festivities isn't it sir?

Ben did mention A Rock And A Hard Place and More when we were talking a few months back.

In a recent Myspace message he said no UK dates are planned at the moment

But things can change!

I don't think they'd have a cat in hell's chance of filling either of those with the way things are. And both are booked way, way past the end of this tour. I know a couple of top-end UK promoters who made offers for February, for decent sized London venues (that the Sissies have played before), but only on an ATP style "don't look back" basis, which is seen in the industry as the only way they're going to pull a crowd now. I don't think they'll ever do it though. And fair play to-em.

Get on a plane people; it's not far. Plus there's a good chance that if they play London, it'll be a friggin' shambles. Who exactly wants to see the Sisters go down like a lead baloon in front of a room of electric-balroom gimps with no interest in the new material, a bad attitude, complaining all night while at the same time videoing the whole thing on their phones?

And the friggin' chatting, christ there's hardly any point.

London. Gigs. Suck. Ass.

Never a truer word.

the funny thing is, that these days probably not many even thought about a change in the setlist - compared to pre-tour discussions in the past years a kind of having grown up

a new setlist and a change in the doctors bass-sound and i'd be a happy man, almost excited at the moment

going to see motorpsycho tonight. great.

Debacle? We're talking about the sound, right?

They'll bring back Body Electric, and open with Comfortably Numb.

Not all London gigs have sucked, the last one did big time but others have been pretty good especially some of the Forum shows. I suggested the SBE as depending on ticket sales the capacity can be adjusted up. I personally would like to see them at the Roundhouse or Coronet by far the best venues for their current pulling power.

Well it's looks like Belgium to Austria then. The choice between going to Berlin or somewhere like the Wulfren in Wolverhampton or the Academy in Manchester, isn't a hard one. You can usually find some like minded souls down the front whatever country your in. Hope to see you somewhere on the continent Mr Fakes.

matt..

Might I just say:

Body Electric!

That that I've a snowball's chance in Hell of making any of the gigs.

I didn't think RobF was just talking about Sisters gigs in London...

fuck london- there's always a full house at rock city; (paraphrase) von: "it's like our second home here". leeds deserves a visit and the jocks always seem to turn out. the uk deserves a nod....though if the promoters are being cunts i don't blame eldritch for not bothering.
but he will...won't he?

oh

Easy choice for him then, bit of a s**t if you live in London and hate gigs there!

Seem to recall mentioning he always likes Brummagem (Birmingham) in an interview somewhere.

That'd do for me.

@Daddy Cool: Wasn't it time for a wee European tour/concerts in 09-thready?

Yes, but that still makes the whole thing a lot more expensive.

Exactly.
Which is why whining "What, no Belgium? Come on Von you gotta get your ass here again!" or "What, no UK? Come on Von that's not fair, is it!" makes me take a deep breath and frown each time I read it here.

Still go all the time though, I've started actually asking people to shut the f**k up, but they just stare at you in an astonished manner and then carry on warbling about their tiresome lives two inches from your ear. Baahhh.

In the last few months otherwise excellent gigs from Moz/Neubauten/Calexico/Mogwai and Nick Cave have been ruined by the appaling attitude and manners of semi-interested London crowds.

A blunderbuss, that would help I feel.

As for the Sisters, I tend to enjoy them in London, but only as if people are down the front chatting and filming on their phones they're likely to get landed on from a great height by sweaty pissed people. I still don't think they should bother playing here though.

I think not.

Yes they are!

This won't be a surprise, but I'm all for that setlist change people 're talking about. I even have a wantlist, but I won't bore you with that...

Oh well, i'd like Kiss the carpet as opener and gimme shelter thrown in there
