Kai is an excellent addition. Same setlist as the Greek in LA I think. Really responsive crowd too. Top nite out!
I don’t mind the height thing overall, usually there’s a space between taller folks for me to see. But I started left on center at the front and there was a wall of tall that just wasn’t happening. I moved and got a great view, just less ideal for videos. But all’s well that ends well! Regretting not packing heels for tonight though.

Andrew Eldritch, the only remaining original band member of the Sisters of Mercy, is bald. This is an unavoidable fact.
Eldritch, as one of its longest-standing icons, has been widely mocked for losing his boyish good looks — most noticeably his mop of hair.
But as red lights arose to reveal the man himself, he was flanked by two younger guitarists with –– what else –– incredible hair.
As Eldritch began the set with a low, almost imperceptible growl, the implicit mockery of the frontman’s hairless circumstances took center stage. He appeared shaky, unconfident, a grandfather passing the baton to the next generation of moody pretty boys. As the spindly arpeggio of “Alice” soaked through the audience, the hair began to move. A lot.
Guitarist and backup vocalist Ben Christo certainly warrants a comparison to Pete, the “hair flip” member of South Park’s clan of Goth Kids. His mane, cut into an exaggerated pompadour, was as self-aggrandizing as his low-slung guitar. Wherever the instrument moved, his hair was sure to follow, sweeping and swallowing his performance whole. At times Eldritch almost hid behind Christo, cowering beneath the sheer force of his masculine beauty.
Kai, the youngest member of the group at 31, shifted the focus by swinging his diabolically lengthy locks around like a coked-up metalhead.
But the undersung hero of the night came in the form of Chris Catalyst, another bald fellow with sunglasses and an epic, Matrix-esque coat.
