The Wonderstuff @ Leeds Academy, Friday 15th May

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I'd be up for it. Size Of A Cow & all that etc etc.

Money might play a factor though... I'll see if its possible.

I never oculd get into them. And the Nicky Fairbairn suit didn't help at all :urff: To be fair, Miles Hunt seems like a very nice person but his music just leaves me cold. Too indie happy for my liking.

Last time I saw them was at the Hollywood Palladium in 1990, supporting The Mish (with Not-As-Fat-Then Bob popping in and out)...

That's been a day or two. :roll:

Saw The Stuffies being supported by Neds in 1990 and Neds blew them off stage. :lol:
