Australia 2009

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.

oh, that would be nice if I can manage to make them take a stop-over in Tahiti... may be not the coolest place on earth to see TSOM, but surely big fun : :von: could return nicely tatooed.

I used to organized concerts in France in the early 90's, but I am far from this world now. Does anyone can tell me who is the present manager (office) of the band ? just to check if they might be interested...
(I know this silly question has emerged several times here, but no real answers given, if I remember)

Serious answer: Your best bet is to try to get hold of Chris or Ben via their mySpace pages.

I for one will fly from New Zealand just to see this, if it happens. (And hopefully if Simon D is still Nursing, to get my copy of The Botanic Verses autographed. ;-)

I have just about given up all hope of seeing them again, thought about remortgaging the house to get over to America, but it wasn't really practical.
Here's hoping lots.

Sadly I have got info that this is not happening, at least not at the V festival in march/april. Luckily for me and a few others, the same info says they might be in Scandinavia around these dates.

But don't give up, I do think the format is perfect for the Sisters, with 4 dates in a package. Isn't there a second V-festival in august or something? Write to your promoters, aussies :!:

Not happening...obviously, though you never know what the future brings.

I really hope in some roundabout way this ends up happening....

Ive heard through a few people that promoters have tried to get the sisters out here in the past but the money has never been right :innocent:

I didnt go but the V festival last time had a pretty good lineup and i think out of anyone they would have enough cash to front for it to happen.

It would be fabulous if they could get over here... I have been arranging a Feb/March Euro excursion though, so I should be sorted in some way. But here at home would be something special.
I was part of the (large) group of people that tried to make it happen in the 1990s, no joy. Will pass on any tasty info I hear (if any!).
