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.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

it lack of taste and showing chaotic state of mind, that's why i like both.
i also like more "unfitting" band, but that is a different story.

I used to take drugs to both Spacemen 3 and tSoM so the connection will always be there. Spiritualised really are overrated btw...

Love 'em both. I saw Sonic Boom's new lot recently though, didn't really rate them. Will have to have another go at some point.

Sorry Dr ,I have confession to make.
That wasn´t Spirtualized we saw that night . It was the Hot House Flowers. Your head was so full of acid we though it would be safer for all conserned if you wern´t told the truth.
Sorry

I have yet to hear this Spiritualized. I will venture out and report back!
...maybe. I might forget.

sad to say, i spent $$ to see Spiritualized this year and skipped the Sissies. a SPZ show is a much more moving, powerful affair (to me).
sorry, i'm the 1%-er.

Same shows as me I think. Maybe the roundhouse was a bit too big for the sound? But, it kind of drifted over me anyway.

But seriously, is there a Sisters / Spiritualized connection of some sort? I really don't have any idea who they hell Spiritualized are.

half of a band that used to be called spacemen 3
no real connection as such, other than they were both influenced a lot by suicide and seem to have a few fans in common
spacemen 3 were kinda like droney psychedelic garage grunge. spuritualized are like that but with a 30pc orchestra

I love Spacemen 3. I like Spritualized. Spectrum are hit and miss.
Oh and I love the Sisters.

I've been listening to the ICA gig, quite loud naturellement, and some stuff has just fallen off the speakers.
That's never happened before

To me, Spacemen 3 is ok. But really, Spiritualized is... so... so... anti-humor.
