Can't imagine many fans of the Girls would have broad enough taste to go for this. Ben must have loved the more AOR moments of VT. Judging by 's canny setlists for the recent Brazil gigs (where virtually the whole of VT was showcased), Night By Night will probably go down well there ...

Are you saying NbN played a Sisters song?

BTW, I'm not saying NbN isn't a good band.
They are just not so good as Eureka Machines.

Really? From what I've read across the General Chat section of this forum for example, I've noticed that Heartlanders have a great and varied taste in music. Just a quick browse of "Currently Listening to.." would tell you that (assuming people are genuine in their posts! ).

I wasn't suggesting that HLers didn't have broad taste - I remember the recent chat about Arvo Pärt for example - just that it wouldn't extend to run-of-the-mill 80s poodle rock revivalists.

I also wonder that for how many of us, TSOM aren't even close to being our favourite band.. just one of our many musical choices - or even just a band who happen to be pretty OK live these days, and therefore worth the admission price.

Personally, I have to say that I am more interested in bands that actually produce new music - so that alone puts Sisters down my list. IF they were still releasing music (even if that was sporadic) then I would probably consider them to be my favourite band. However, the smattering of "new" (really?) songs in their live sets doesn't cut it for me. I mean, how many times do we really want (or need) to hear Alice or Temple of Love again? In that brazilian interview Andrew denies that TSOM are a "nostalgia" act, and I think he can probably just about get away with it as long as they do keep putting new songs into the set - but some of what he calls "new" are several years old now.

Even if TSOM are considered to be an 'active' band as they tour a lot, then in my mind they only steer clear of the "nostalgia act" if they do actually add new stuff to the repertoire - which was WHEN?
