Where are you off to? Enquiring minds need to know

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Just booked tickets for Theatre Of Hate at the Brudenell next October on their Westworld album tour, supported by Skeletal Family. Can't say I'm remotely familiar with TOH besides the odd number (which is as likely to be a Spear Of Destiny track anyway) but plenty of time to catch up on what I've been missing these last decades, if nowt else we'll go along and support Charlie's mate Ian the Saxophonist in Skeletal Family.

If only they could get Westbam to play his techno masterpiece Do You Believe In The Westworld as part of the bill, now that would be a fkng party 8) :innocent:

I've seen Theatre a few times and always enjoy them immensely; they'll likely come over here as well, they generally tend to and Kirk seems to like the place. They're a bit more in the tribal "drums and shouting" style, which is more to my tastes than the swirly atmospheric guitar stuff.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Not so much a Where Are You Off To as a Where Are You Going To Try To Get To, the Black Sabbath and chums show at Villa Park. Reckon it'll be a nightmarish ticketmaster sludgefest resulting in zero tickets purchased, but ya never know.

It was extremely surprisingly smooth tbh. Joined the waiting room when it opened 15 minutes before 10am, auto-joined the queue at 10, 909 ahead of me in the queue at which point I knew it was looking good, 20 seconds later I was trying to pick 2 seats which were admittedly disappearing faster than I could click on them. That was the only mildly stressful bit. I've since seen that ticketmaster did indeed turn into a sh1tstorm for very many people so we got lucky for sure.

What a year. Already seen Gary Marx belt out Sisters classics. Got Phil Campbell, Virginmarys, Sisters, Sabbath and mates, and more Sisters to look forward to. And they're just the highlights 8)
