New book mid August

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.

There were piles of them in WHS when I was in Reading back in August.
But I guess you've trawled "the usual suspects" already

They had it in WH Smiths in at the train station in Birmingham last week(but not Sheffield).

just got mine - generally it's a nice read. Funny how Von & The Sisters seem to get more mentions than anyone else - cropping up in both the Neph & Mish interviews... Seems like some people can't stop talking about Von (although it's probably not their fault interviewers keep asking the same questions...)

I thought it was a very good read overall but especially the Von interview.
I'd have liked to have seen new interviews with Siouxsie and Robert Smith though instead of archived interviews/articles.

They mentioned SoM in The m*****n feature as they were interviewing 'guess who' and in the Neph feature it was because apparently when the Neph were first starting out people thought they were just ripping off SoM.

EDIT: I love how it edited that band name, never seen that before! haha

I liked :von:'s OpenBSD t-shirt. Obviously Gentoo wasn't voodoo enough for him. :lol:

Got my copy the other day and i cant say i was very pleased.
Some very good photos but beside that not much else.
The NME effort 3-4 years ago was far superior, incl. only original articles and interviews from that era.
If you dont have any of the two go for the nme issue and you wont regret it. This one you can live without.

Are you being ironic ? Or have you never heard "Dawnrazor" ? People were openly laughing the first time I went to see them live, as 90% of the songs seemed to be based on "Train".

I went to see them at the Clarendon in 87 purely because they had been compared to the Sisters.
Don't recall anything even closely resembling Train though.
Did nearly cr@p myself when McCoy's "Kruger hand" shot out of the smoke & nearly take my eye out though.

Well not that much ... :wink: ... :
THE HUNTERS CLUB

THE STORY SO FAR
Noisy grebo goths from Leicester who set
their hats on fire as part of the live show

HIGH POINT
UK tours with Fields Of The Nephilim,
Balaam And The Angel and The m*****n. Top 30
indie chart places for Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet,
Animal Lover
and Give Me Your Soul

LOW POINT
"Whenever the drugs ran out," says vocalist
Chris Oblivion. "Plus, looking for guitarists.
In six years there was one vocalist, one bass
player, three drum machines, two drummers
and eight guitarists."

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
Oblivion started Stayfree Music studios
in Leicester. The original line-up of Slydog,
Torrent and Oblivion got together in 2008
to do one show and recently played at the
Stayfree 20th birthday party:"Worryingly,
there may be more to come."

Thanks for the quick replies and info. Surprised they were in it and not surprised by how little they feature.
