They're doing a fourth album too.

Hey, cool ... ... Congrats! ... ..

They deserved the awards at those categories they were in.
Congratz to Eureka and Chris

Another recent interview with Chris at The Midlands Rocks...

* thanks for the link to vicus@poison-door.net ... ...

Anyone else from here going to the Borderline gig?

Chris was support to March Violets last night. Cracking set apparently

Indeed it was

What covers did he play this time ?

(Can anyone else see Chris on fb? I saw his post that he would not be available for a while... but now he seems to have disappeared from fb as if he had deleted his account)

Thank you!

OMG, I just note I wrote "crysalist" ... that's heavy stuff ... ... it is of course "chrisalyst" ...

If I was to listen to Eureka Machines where would be a good starting point?

Been a fan of Chris's other band Scaramanga Six before I discovered the Sisters so want to see what these guys are like.

Well, first of all it might be entertaining and fun to check out the video part of their website ... ...

Thanks to the link from poison-door.net, here's a new interview with Chris
on the occasion of the appearance of Eureka Machines @Sonisphere this year ... ...

Plus, the diamond-encrusted Jacuzzi from which I write this won’t pay for itself.

LEEDS, UNITED KINGDOM - JULY 29: Chris Catalyst performs on stage at The Wardrobe on July 29, 2014

The Wardrobe eh ? Last band I saw play there was The Cure (I'll get my coat).
Great review of the gig here http://louderthanwar.com/andrew-wk-the- ... ve-review/
Must have been weird for CC to be supporting a guy called Andrew singing over a backing track.

News of the new EM Pledge project plus lots of other interesting stuff in an entertaining interview with CC from the excellent Midlands Rocks website :

I guess I'm the only one on here who doesn't particularly like EM. Each to their own.

For sure not the only one. EM differ very much from The Sisters of Mercy ... ...


Anyway, their new pledge campaign starts right now ... that is THURSDAY 13th November at 7pm. ...

and for anyone who might like to join, the link to the upcoming 4th Eureka Machines album is http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/em4 ...

EDIT:
... and indeed, 't does now ... ...

There is the option to buy the cover of any song you like...
What about if someone buys the cover of "Far Parade" from Sisters?? Are they gonna record it ?

You're a funny man.

I went to see them in Camden on Friday. Very much enjoyed the gig and Chris was in fine form.

Some idiot in front of me threw a plastic glass towards him and then stood up on his two mates shoulders, so which Chris said "What do you think this is, a Sisters of Mercy gig?"

I think they have some fantastic songs, champion the underdog is my fav, and chris was up for special chheers when he saw my shirt of the that platte during this years zurich show. The chris should make vocals more aggressive, than it would be even better and fit the music, choir work is awsome i have to admit

Thanks for the reviews. Already at over 200% of target. Just shows what you can do when you engage with your fan base and keep prices sensible.
