What should you expect from a Sister's show? It's a bit of a religious experience (at least for me) - you stand wreathed in smoke, unable to see more than the person in front of you, with lasers and coloured lights confusing the visual cortex, meanwhile from above and below this wall of sound batters at your brain. The band says that they're about "getting into your head by any means necessary" - the live show achieves this. The sound drives a 150-ton nuclear transporter through your eardrums and into your brain, and when it gets there it parties like a mother. Your one focus is this short, skinny, weedy-looking bald bloke 15' away who's old enough to be your dad (in some cases), who prowls the stage like some caged beast, spitting lyrics at you like machine gun bullets, clinging to the mic and his cigarette like his life depends upon them, and for 90 minutes or so this is your entire universe. Your throat hurts from screaming, your arms ache from waving, your eyes burn from the smoke, the sensory assault confuses your balance, and you leave completely unable to remember anything more than fragments of songs or the merest inkling of a set list.

Hope this helps If you see anyone down the front by the stage wearing a Forum Thing t-shirt, go and say "hello".

You've obviously been to see a different band from me, did they play Cry Little Sister?

As an encore - you were at that gig too?

thanks for the info, love the sarcasm...

I'm flying down for this show and my flight home doesn't leave until 6am. I'm not going to bother to get a room, so I'll be a vagrant all night. Anyone know of any events happening after the show?

Any news?
