First gig/Last gig/Worst gig/Best gig

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.

I was at that gig too, and had my walkman conficated 2 songs into the set :x
I tell you what: If there's any Wonderstuff fans around, they were selling copies of A Wish Away as their "new single". So that's fairly firm dating.

I looked it up and it was '88.

Not going too far into lists but Polly Jean was hot, sticky and excellent at the Uni last night. Air conditioning would ruin that place, I think...

myself and a chap called eBlue commented on the fact that even though they tried really, really hard to be specimen, they had neither the tunes, the talent nor the cheekbones.. and that in fact they were actually just a bunch of stunningly average goth musicians. oh, and i think we may have also said that the lass couldn't carry a tune in a bucket ;)

seems their singer, "mr ed", got a trifle upset and has since been asking friends of friends who i am in a bid to validate his band's worth by trying to proove that with a name like "quiff boy" i must have no idea what goth music is about.

:innocent:

all of which was made even more amusing when they turned up at the "heartland vs the sheep" night last week and even danced to half the tunes i played :lol:

Oh, and I'm going to see Carl-Johan Vallgren on November 24.

He's living in Berlin. Write books. And do gigs.

Heard of him?

I've often wondered, was that album made from a confiscated bootleg as the remark at the very end of it suggests, or was it just added afterwards to make people think it was?

@ Dan added afterwards I'd say, the sound quality of the album is too good

Paradise Lost were a great band in waiting, then they decided to be something else.
Why?
