I've never read that article actually. I think I must have read something in UTR or on some website or something. My memory isn't as good as it used to be...
Thanks for the info Paint!
Also, can anyone remember the name of the band that supported the Sisters at Brixton 97. There were two support bands. One was Cubanate (btw here is what Marc Heal from Cubanate had to say about Von) :
"I think that Andrew Eldritch is an extraordinarily cool individual. He is the coolest person I have met, because I thought it was all going to be an act. It isn’t, or if it is, it’s just a superlative one. When we played with the Sisters, word came through from the Sisters dressing room, has anyone got any speed? Andrew wants some speed. So, I just happened to have some speed on me, so I went in, and there was Eldritch there like some sort of king, with all these gorgeous gothettes all draped around the room. So, I chopped him out a line, and he said, "I knew I chose the right support band." When we were soundchecking, he was standing by the side of the stage, so I thought I’d better go and say "Hi" and be sociable. So, I said, "Hi Andrew, thanks for having us, you know," and he said, "The Sisters of Mercy like Cubanate." I started laughing, saying, "That’s, uh, great, Cubanate like the Sisters of Mercy. Fancy a shag?" and he said, "Maybe later." That man’s cool. He’s the only man who’s ever worn a Hawaiian shirt and looked cool. The only man who can wear pointy shoes and look cool. Him and Nick Cave are the only exceptions."
But what was the other band? I remember chatting to the singer later on, as far as I can remember he said they were signed to Merciful Release and he wouldn't give me a free demo! All I remember was that they were German.
