Apologies for so many questions but I haven't been to that London since the Egyptian Exhibition at the Dome thingy years ago.
Any advice on hotels would be great as well
I've sat at the Roundhouse once. It was a great show (Morrissey) and I enjoyed it. The thing with The Sisters is all the smoke. I've never sat at a Sisters show before but I'd imagine the smoke, plus the columns that go round the venue, might prove slightly problematic. Don't let that put you off though! The acoustics in the venue are great and The Sisters played excellently at their previous show there.
There are lots of Travelodges and Premier Inns in London and the Roundhouse is right by Chalk Farm and Camden Town underground stations, both of which are on the Northern Line. So you could get a hotel in Euston, Kings Cross, or Angel, and be pretty close to the venue via tube

I'm staying at the Kings Cross Travelodge for £67 . That's the rate that allows cancellation however it's around fifty quid if you waiver that. The Kings Cross Royal Scot Travelodge is cheaper again but a bit more of a trek from the station .

You Could Be the One is a good track, but I have more favourites I'd rather see. I'd love to hear Detonation Boulevard or Body Electric live.
The last time I was at the Roundhouse was in 2010 to see The Damned.
Cheers, Rudolph! ... ...
The Damned seem to play quite often at the Roundhouse. In 2011, they played there the day before The Sisters gig ... ... and Motörhead in another part of the city ...
Body Electric is one of my favourites too. Anyway, I'd absolutely love to hear Heartland live ... a dream ... ...
I've seen the Damned a couple of times in Leeds. First time in the early '90s on their "Farewell tour" and then the second time some time around 2005 on their "Farewell tour".
