The Sisters Of Mercy @ Leeds Museum

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.

It's true! Deep in the music archives are copies of FALAA, Floodland and Vision Thing with the following write-up;

"1987-2006, The Sisters Of Mercy who formed in Leeds in 1980. The name is taken from a Lenoard Cohen song."

I'd insert a photo but just can't sem to be able to do it. Still :?

I'll gladly forward on to Someone That Can.

[edit by qb:]the aforementioned photos is now in the image gallery

Apparently nothing happened between 1980 & 1987. Sounds familiar.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

It's the "2006" that worries me :eek:

Yes, Leeds has a museum. It opened a couple of months ago more-or-less opposite Millenium Square, featuring none other than the skeleton of the Armley Hippo :notworthy:

tried to visit the meuseum a couple of years ago (above the library the previuos time i went) and discovered it had shut down, i assume it has moved now?

i wonder if the big tiger is still there (my daughter used to go very week when she was small....26 now)
i am more likely to release an album before the sisters

Tiger, panda, polar bear, jaguar, birds etc. and the skeleton of a huge elk - all sorts. We took the young 'un and she loved it - I'd recommend (if nowt else, it's free).

They should stick Leeds United in. Knocked out of the FA by a postman. Craig must have drowned a few after that in sorrow.

Now that you mention it:
Implying the rate of updates the Leeds based homepage of the Sisters receives is due to local habits, that could have been a news board perhaps?

Perhaps Leed Museum should commission an oral history on the Leeds music scene in the 80s, before all the old goths die!
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?
