Heartland

I just uploaded about 8 vids from our show last night on our youtube channel if anyone is interested in viewing. We just added Burn and Body Electric to the setlist. My apologies if I posted this in the wrong section.

No. Only Von is Von.

Good stuff

The sound on Lucretia isn't very crisp, but I'm not sure what era you're looking to emulate. Also, you might want to study Wake a bit re: stage presence.

I wish cover bands had the same policy as the original Sisters (No site updates).

Wow, again a very good cover/tribute show - probably the best snippets of this kind I've ever seen

PS: Is a that a smoke machine or is there someone smoking a cigarette on the ground
PPS: You may have recognized that fans are getting pissed the more you're getting better - just ignore that

Hey, wonderful ... thanks for taking up Sisters' songs (and obviously enjoying to play and perform them)
I know, you do it for yourself, for us and for everybody. And that's how I think it should be

No doubt. And there is no substitute. We all exist only for once. That's exactly why ...

Nadia - You are correct! There is only one Von!

Motz - We recorded it from the vid camera. Sound is a little dodgy. We're not trying to emulate any one particular era, although we're stopping at Floodland. Some people get frustrated that we don't play the later stuff. Our choice. Maybe in the future. We've already discussed Crash and Burn and Summer. I own wake...our stage presence is what it is. We are putting a lot of ourselves into this as well. We never claimed we are doing a 100% exact replica of the sisters. IF so, I as Wayne FUSSEY would have to get my nose extended.

Dinky - Whatever

Doc - There's Gnome puffing on a pipe behind us! Actually we just got that smoke machine. We have it set on a timer so we don't have to mess with it while playing. We are going to purchase another soon though.

Being - Thanks! -

Great work guys, glad someone will be doing at after we throw our towels in

Ah, Simon as Nurse to the Doktor, eh?

Thanks a lot Paddy.....Sorry to see you guys go. Isn;t there another one from Belgium that just started up recently too? A trio I think?

Not bad! Not bad at all.

Big thumbs up...

get yer backup band tae wear wigs/hats/sunglasses/breezers/glittery shirts as appropriate and 21 secs is not enuff to make a proper judgement

keep going!

Lots more than the 21 seconds on there James!

I apologise if my comment irked anyone (everyone more like).I did not mean to imply the band was bad ,only that I ,personally,don't like imitation.Again ,my apologies.

No need to apologize! We know we're not going to be a hit with every Sisters fan and some will completely hate us. I completely respect your opinion. No worries!

another thumbs up here. loved Body Electric in particular.

Padstar gave ye a thumbs up, that's aw that is needed IMO

Damn sorry you apologize. I want to hurt people. This band sucks bad! Cover bands are stupid and suck cock.

Yeah! see the thing that tours calling itself The Sisters Of Mercy, lets stab the bastards!

No need to apologize for what you feel and think. Really, not.

That's the spirit!
Sounds like you know a lot about sucking, eh?
If you really *want* to hurt people, try using your teeth.

Sorry, Dinky, we leave the sucking to the pros, although sometimes we get a reach around when we're lucky!

Thanks to everyone who's offered up any sort of kudos, we really appreciate the support and feedback!

As far as the detractors go, I don't think that you really *get it*.
You're taking this band WAY too personally.

We're not trying to *be* The Sisters.
We're not "Pretenders to the Throne".
There *is* only one Von, and I ain't him.
I'm too tall and redheaded.


This band is comprised of extremely accomplished musicians who've done plenty of original material and have had nothing but Top 10 singles throughout our wildly successful and incredibly lucrative careers.
We also happen to LOVE The Sisters Of Mercy!

This band is a lot of *fun* for us.
We love these songs.
We love *playing* these songs.
These songs mean a lot to us, as they do to you.

Besides, you know that you all sing these songs in the shower anyway, you're just unhappy because I get to sing them louder than you!


Some people are content showing their support by just buying a album or t-shirt or sniping at other fans on Internet forums.

Some people would rather pick up guitars and program drum machines and jump up on stage with the volume at 11 to show their appreciation for this music.

We're ALL waiting for the next one to arrive.

If you don't like what we're doing, form your own band and do it better than us.

Rise and Reiterate!

Over and Out.

I love rock 'n' roll.
