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.
I just wanted to know if any of you lot are meeting up before the gig anywhere for a few bevvies. There's four of us going from manchester early doors to get sufficiently tanked before we hit the moshpit
Any pubs or decent places to go after the gig? I've looked on the site and it says there's an alternative music extention after the show.
1st time i've seen the sisters so i'll be ready to kick ass!
Looking forward to meeting some of you guys

a few of us were thinking of meeting up for beer beforehand yes...
myself, lars, padstar and whoever else wew thought to mention it to.
either myself or pads were going to get around to making it an open invite at some point.
so here you are
current fave pub suggestion is "the angel" - its 5 mins walk from the venue, in middle of town (up an alleyway next to dixons) and is sam smiths pub so cheap ale...
any one else care to suggest somewhere?

and after the Saturday gig there was some talk of a "cabbage" from the Leeds posse ?
apparently its some techno dance club open 'till 5am. Was hoping one of you Leeds folks knew where it was?
Anyway, i'll just go with the flow, or wherever my beer filled legs will allow me to go
Well... I'll be staying put at Blank Canvas for the Wendy House alternative DJ thing (open til 3am) after the Saturday gig. I really can't be arsed with some wanker-ish techno night at another venue that will probably cost more than a tenner to get in...
Well it sounds like it's gonna be pretty rockin then! Angel's it is. Wish i could make the Murphy's night coz i always seem to miss them but i've got a big meeting on the other place that night.
Don't think i'll be wearing my winkle pickers and stetson either.
What's the music after the gig at the venue like? I'm all up for going to somewhere for a late one providing the music doesn't suck

the music after the gig at the venue is provided by the djs from "the phono" and "the wendy house", both alternative/80s/goth clubs, so expect the usual mix of industrial/goth/indie/whatever that you normally find at those kind of clubs these days...
and by teh way, its "the angel" beforehand - not angel's!
its a pub, not a dodgy club! LOL! a trivial detail, but important if you're ever going to find us!

I shall be wearing one of my hats as always (Not Stetson as that's a brand, but hand made by a man in Fort Worth who's granddad worked for Stetson... I digress)
However my blue pointy boots with probably be banned by Mrs Ed.
Looking highly likely i'll be attending the Academy gig also. Shame it's on a wednesday otherwise we could have all piled in Rockworld which with the reinstated DJ you get loads of Sisters.
Needs a thread the wednesday one too Quiffster

I *don't* let him wear those bloody boots, it's just a compromise we've worked out that if he gets to wear the boots, he stops stealing my underwear. Which frankly looks darn silly on him!
Angel sounds cool, except a) it'll be packed, b) the out-of-town contingent will NEVER, ever find it...ah well, I'm sure it'll all work out!
Good times come to me now
