SPEX Sisters Article from 1984

Post your reviews of Sisters-related material or interviews with Sisters-related musicians here. And don't believe the hype: 1985 most definitely is a fashion statement.

Look what I was fishing out of my cellar:

An interview with the Sisters of Mercy from 1984 in the high-profile German Music Magazine SPEX.
Hear Andrew ridicule his bandmates:
We had to drop the song {GimmeGimme Gimme} because it was too hard to play for us. And Wayne didnt look any good in that blonde wig. Craig was doing quite better in his platform boots behind the piano.
And if that wasn't already good enough, in the same issue is an interview with the Cult and Gun Club, featuring a becoming pic of Patsy. ;D
Only downputter: the interview is in German, but hey, we have some learners on here, haven't we?

I'm not a collector type, so I would send away the original to someone who really wants it. Sole condition: I want to be amused by his/her post. :von:
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

Personally, I'm intrigued as to why Germans go fishing in their kellars. It's a new one on me but I'm still learning. I'll try it out tomorrow.

I was amused enough by your post Johnny. As always. If you want it is yours. :von:

Oma (who lives in the attic), told me this house is built on bedrock and a zwei metre base of solid concrete. She heard me chiseling/banging/hammering in the keller looking for fisch and came down to stop me. :roll:

I tried to explain I was only trying to be German.
