Well it won't be the Eureka's as they are on a break with some of them having new babies, though he does to guitar tech work for others so it could be he's teching for someone.

I'm hearing a tour of Northern working mans comedy clubs is in the pipeline... there won't be a dry ice in the house
Hilarious!

What well certain about Chiris' list is: Europe, and again Europe, USA is only TBC so it's nothing worth holding breath, I guess that March(ing) tour will decide.

Yep, the first two Europes are already Sisters confirmed, and UK/Japan are the Wildhearts. Remains for wild guesses: South America, TBC-USA, and third Europe.

From that list South America seems like more possible for TSOM - bands with some expirience seems to be welcome there as much as in Eastern Europe nowadays. :wink:

The upcoming "very soon" Sisters dates must (without a doubt) be their best kept secret in over 20 years. Not a single date has "leaked". The first time ever. Very strange indeed. :eek:

Not a chance - people would be accusing him of being a goth if he did that. Yellow and Red Seas much more likely.

Taking a fact that AE mumbles, so there's almost no chance to recognize words of lyrics that he's singing, I think that Dead Sea and announcing dramatic change of style: TSOM in now death metal band, is likely.

This 'mumbling' talk is rather unfair regarding that he has not mumbled in the past few years. That’s a fact.

Fully seconded ... another fact is, though, that if people don't wanna show a certain respect towards you, they just don't do so, no matter whatever you might do and regardless of any wonderful achievements ... and after x decades those righteous will always come up with the little flower on the lawn you had perhaps accidentially stepped on as one of the worst crimes in humanity ...

I agree with the ladies above

The accusation of mumbling is unjust. I find the vocals so indistinct I can't tell if he is mumbling or not

:notworthy:

@Sabine and Joy: last time when I had chance to listen AE live he was mumbling, it was 2014. Not during whole gig, to be fair, he sung fairly good (as for him) during first 2,5 songs. You may have been at gigs where he was in better shape. I'm not taking your right to have different opinion. Yet, some people here seems to have the same opinion as I. End of story.

Agreed :D

He's replaced it with shouting, handing over to random singers and best of all extended instrumental sections :urff:

:lol: Plus a bit of barking, rasping, yelping, and getting Chris to sing the boring bits. Definitely better at the 2015 gigs, but had a sense it couldn't last...

Also on the shop are all the classics - Alice, Reptile House, MR, Marry Me Young etc. Plus workshirts, tote bags... http://bit.ly/1uIzDfS

Finally, more Sisters gigs for 2016 to be announced very soon. #Incoming
Hmmm.... nine days later, "very soon" must mean something different to Chris.

Well, thats what is was trying fishing for. NO date has leaked for the first time since the beginning of internet. So this "tour" or what it is, is probably just in the works and Chris beeing just a little to much enthusiastic about it. And that's of course a good thing, but "very soon" it ain't.

I believe so too. It seems, reading into the tweet we shouldn't read anything into, that they are at least planning to do some kind of world tour this year. This may or may not be the final result...

These things are also dependent on promoters/etc. So we shouldn't be so quick to jump on the band if "very soon" turns out to be "actually a bit later".
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Usually, when someone, at some circumstance, says that something will happen "very soon" it means, that information that is going to revealed is almost certain (like 99,965%).
But of course in TSOM universe time is counting a differently, so nervous reactions are needless.

Absolutely. For example, ending up with "only" a bunch of European dates in a few weeks wouldn't necessarily mean that it was what they planned to do from the beginning. I personally think it's likely they are trying (once again) all they can to put together a US tour right now, but it's not certain at all that it's going to work, so who knows what we will end up with.
