In completely unrelated news, some Sisters memorabilia is on show at 'Where Were You?: Leeds Music History Exhibition' at Leeds Museum this month. It starts on Thursday 11th August and finishes on Saturday 27th August.




And the official blurb:

Where Were You? Leeds Music History Exhibition
Leeds Town Hall Crypt (downstairs, under the Hall, enter via the side entrance)

Preview: Thursday 11th August 2011 5pm to 7pm with performance from Gary Stewart

Exhibition opening times: Friday 12th August 2011 to Saturday 27th August 2011. 9am to 5pm every day except Sundays.

Fundraiser gig Friday 19th August at the Brudenell Social Club, all Leeds bands including covers of Leeds songs. Featuring members of Pale Saints, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Three Johns and other familiar faces from the Leeds scene.

This exhibition celebrates the music culture of Leeds through a unique collection of memorabilia, records, programmes, posters, t-shirts, instruments, awards and artworks that tell some of the stories of the Leeds music scene over the last sixty years. It's been put together in true DIY spirit that fans of the Leeds scene will recognise, and aims to make some noise about the great music that is made and played in Leeds. We have been overwhelmed at the generosity of fans, promoters and musicians that have sent their memorabilia from the far flung corners of the globe - there are some real treasures here. Come and have a look and share your memories of great Leeds bands, gigs and venues. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this collection of stuff - don't miss it!

Anybody going - and taking some pretty photos ... ... ...

I'll be going, wearing my Sisters 'militant sex machine' hoodie (hood up) and swag bag at the ready!

It warranted an update of the Official Site, it'd be churlish not to go!

I'm sure I posted a picture of all three Sisters albums on display @ Leeds Museum a couple of years ago?

How cool is that?!

Shame there is not more info on what bands are featured...

That sounds super, hope it is a blast. Is there an opening night party (with guest appearances??)

I had a look today. A small battered amp and guitar were on display as well as posters, t-shirts and album covers. The amp had 'Andy' written on it.

I'll post some photos when I can.

This amp?

Looks like it.

Can I email some one my photos of the exhibit?

I haven't been able to up load them.

Yes, obviously they give us the wrong month on the official page ... September 27 is a Tuesday ...

You lucky freaks!

What's the history behind the guitar, what recording was it used on etc?

I think it's one of Chris's, isn't it? He's the only one associated with the band (that I know of) who plays an Iceman.

It was used on the utterly fabulous unreleased record, titled Never Gonna See the Light of Day.

See, that's funny because it's both a goth joke and a no-new-album joke.

Have they got the telephone from the late 80's Sisters conventions?

What's the significance of the long picture of the grandfather clock?

The original inspiration for Afterhours perhaps ^^

No idea, perhaps time is ticking away without any chance for a new album

the more interesting item is the rejected poster for Anaconda, i have the same on my bedroom wall
