Andrew Eldritch biography....

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

BTW having your name on some list that AFAIK comes from nowhere doesn't prove a thing. Do we really need that kind of conversation ?

The Sisters kick. But I've heard you've had queers in the band!


I've heard you have a small penis. Stop worrying about it.

When you've stopped worrying, check out www.thesisters.org .

Yes he was born in Ely.
Yes he lived in Singapore when very young.
Yes he lived (with his family) in Malvern for a few years when he was at primary school.
He has one younger brother who is not called Robert and with whom to the best of my knowledge he is not in contact.
He has one younger sister who is not called Gina and he is not in contact with her either.
He has no older brothers.

As far as I'we seen - almost every biography features the ubiquitous fact that he is a polyglot...

I think thats a BIT overplayed...

Well the BBC did have the good sense to have Chris Eubank present Top Of The Pops just to get one track announced as "Thith ith Thuggth thinging Thethelia" so you never know.

I think I once heard Wossy mention The Smiths "Rank" on his radio show once. :D

Er. Yes. Enough of that I think.

Suggs was on the last ever Top Of The Pops saying he could barely sing for laughing.

That link you posted about "GAY STATION" is it real? is it true that he is gay? or is it just a funny thing? I clicked on it, and I see his name, but I don't understand anything about the website.

I've heard very concrete rumours about Eldritch sleeping with women. I've not heard any about him sleeping with men.

Seriously though, who cares? Unless you're trying to get into his pants yourself? :twisted:

There is of course a Thornbury in Bradford which is very close to the pizza counter at the Owlcotes Asda at Pudsey and also the Bramley area of Leeds in which you may find.....

I suppose at least the Sisters aren't claiming that they've got something to release. And at least they've actually got unreleased songs to not put on it.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

Adam Ant also got loads of songs never released. There are at least 2 demo's known and 1 new songs that he plays on gigs (which he does more than the Sisters, btw), but he has dozens of song titles registered.

I forget what the eventual solution to that was but I'm pretty sure the consensus (on the official Ant forum) was that those aren't actually new songs at all. Can't remember whether it was mistaken identity, a dodgy webpage or what but I think all links to it have been removed from the forum because it was deemed to be bollocks. The three songs you mention (and the demos are from ten years ago) are all that can be confirmed (although some claim to have heard more demos).

Something else. There have been at least 2 or 3 occasions since Wonderful where Adam and collaborators (Marco, Boz Boorer and others) wrote songs and recorded demo's.

The demo's that are in circulation are called "Punkyoungirl" and "Hard men, tough blokes". The one he's doing live is called "Vince Taylor" (not Andy Taylor).
