So that is another possible London venue that Sisters could fill gone!

Just leaves Forum, Sheps Bush, Coronet, and Koko as possible London venues. All have capacity of 1500-2000. Brixton Academy is not really an option these days at nearly 5000 capacity.

Troxy (800 – 2600) and Roundhouse at a push (3300 standing)

The Roundhouse is a great venue- the sound is fantastic, the food good, beer alcoholic and the people who work there very friendly.

Not sad about the Astoria, sorry

ah yes, the forum.

the last sisters show there was an absolute shocker

the only time i went there i fell down the stairs to the loo and was only saved by a feather boa. no handrail...

Yours, or someone else's?

I'm just envisioning this Isadora Duncan-like near-tragedy...

someone else's! but it was wrapped round her neck when i grabbed it!

The Astoria is a f**king s**t hole and the bouncers are scum.

If they need any help in knocking it down then let me know.

That's what I expect from a venue!

I love the Astoria - some of the best nights of my life have been spent there, despite it's s**t hole status. I'll have fine memories of waiting outside that particular grotty little hole. My first ever concert was there, Nightwish 2004. Sinse then I've seen the m*****n, The Sisters, NMA, the new Nephs plus many more astounding shows. I'll be sorry to see it gone.

do they need a venue for not playing any UK dates?

They should attempt to stretch their appeal and play at G-A-Y.
I'm sure if he revived the This Corrosion video look he may make a few friends.

Saw the Mish there & IIRC correctly John Paul Jones joined them for a song or 2.
Was alright as venues go, but not the best. It was fcuking hot.
My then -GF feigned an asthma attack so we could get out the emergency doors.

Couldn't agree more although I have been to a few gigs ther where the bouncers got a lot more back than they bargained for!

I can't see how Korin loses, except at lunch and dinner I suppose...
