Sisters New record deal

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.

well beg to differ on this one, but since Tim Brichenno left the Sisters have been totally unable to write anything decent, I have Andreas Bruhns solo CD and it knocks the pants of anything eldo and pearson have done (Musically speaking, some of the lyrics are a bit dodgy), (as for wayne, I dont think he wrote anything for the sisters, well apart from amybe marian, Serpents Kiss that eldo rejected, to me is one of the best goth songs of all time)

Chris Starling on the other hands is a different case, I have the startings album valid from crumbd 89-90, and Planey Painkiller, Me thinks Chris keeps the best songs for himslef!

Yeah - I'd kill to see a starling/eldritch collaboration. Chris is such a good songwriter in his own right the combination would be great.

I'd imagine a few sparks would fly though.....

A bit dodgy?!! Bloody awful more like!! and that accent just doesnt work when he sings - "When we drown" comes out as "When we droon". :lol: I was quite dissapointed I'm afraid.

Mind you, what a babe!! :innocent:

I'm not sure why the departure of Bricheno could have made much of a difference to Sisters songwriting, since he wasn't involved in song-writing. Maybe he had a more subtle influence? I didn't understand Allfear's point about Wayne not writing any Sisters songs either - do you mean APART from most of Side one of First and Last and Always?

I agree wholeheartedly that it would be great to see AE co-writing with Chris Starling, I'd be very excited by that, and I think it's quite likely if they really do make an album. We can dream, can't we?

Cheers Matt !!

Anyway. Just a quick note to say that my LJ entry (now deleted) made a joke of this subject and also made it clear (although evidently nor clear enough) that I was just repeating Hearsay and Rumour. Obviously it was naiive to think people would not pick up on this.

As much as anything else I was just having a laugh at the concept. Given all the issues ivolved. I certainly didn't mean to imply that I had any real inside information...merely (I repeat) heresay and rumour. Anything I heard is second hand and not reliable.

A part of me made sure I didn't mention the label in question (and no. It's not Nightbreed- we left them over a year ago to pursue this and several other options) and I'm glad I didn't.

Ultimately I know nothing real or concrete and to repeat it as fact is incorrect. If anything appropriate (i.e definate) on our label status were to be mentioned it would be on the official KM website and not my LJ page. As such, there's nothing to see here. Please move along.

Cheers. We do like the Sisters, although (he he) we're not naiive enough to believe this is reciprocated.

The "we" here being the band. Not the "royal" we.

Might well stick around and have a look.

Yakshire..?

Sadly I hail from that part of the world. Sadly.

I was actually referring to the whole “The Sisters/KM record deal� affair (although I quite liked the quip about the panda).

My views on KM being rock stars or not, are entirely my own, but giving credit where credit is due I have the utmost respect for anyone that can entertain (or endure, as the case may be) a room/bar/hall/stadium/field full of people on a regular (or not so regular) basis.

There, knew you’d be pleased…
