i noticed it but assumed the 4th was Ravey Davey or whoever is playing nursey to the Dok. also i didnt want to spoil it for the 'Secret Seven' types amongst us who are already halfway to solving 'The Mystery Of Some Cryptic Words' (or 'wtf- this could finally be the new album, couldnt it? please please please' ) and are simply waiting for Dick and Fanny* to arrive (with a fresh supply of ginger beer) before apprehending the ruffians.Pat wrote:There are 4 smoking sisters in that picture.

Might have something to do with this perhaps?eastmidswhizzkid wrote:very exciting for all those attending obviously and the rest of us by proxy; but the purpose of this NME outing has me incredibly curious. just what aspect of the show is it they feel the need to warm up after the handful of festivals and indoor gigs already played? guess we will find out tomorrow....
it's interesting to note that the band (well, don't know about Andrew) spent a whole week in Antwerpen before Hellfest, and another few days before Wacken. That's not normal Sisters procedure as we know it from the last decade?

And apparently rushing there from Greece. Atypical road behavior for sure. Last time I recall such build-up was for the XXX shows in Leeds, which turned out cupcakes and postcards (which was all very nice, of course).euphoria wrote:Adding to the maybe uncalled for excitement
It makes sense and the answer was hanging in merchandise point in Athens. T-shirts sold there was not Tour shirts but only for those two gigs in Greece.copper wrote:And apparently rushing there from Greece. Atypical road behavior for sure.

Festival slots are better for greatest hits than trying out new songs. Also, Dylan got some shows under his belt without the added scrutiny. So it made sense to hold some things back.
Meanwhile, Antwerp / NME would be about wrangling the new songs to Roundhouse. Then why two days in Greece, if the NME show is so vital? Perhaps, money was good and the band wanted to warm up some more before Antwerp.
Anyway, this is probably the first mid-tour NME show in The Sisters' history.
You know what, Looking at Trix's website, I'm pretty sure this is the rehearsal space they were at too.euphoria wrote:it's interesting to note that the band (well, don't know about Andrew) spent a whole week in Antwerpen before Hellfest, and another few days before Wacken.
