Hamburg thingy....hmmmm....

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Whilst looking for opportunities to go and see the mighty NMA this summer/autumn I noticed they are doing a benefit show for FC ST Pauli with, and I quote "August 30th - St Pauli Stadium,Hamburg A benefit show to help keep St Pauli football club going. Loads of acts. Watch out for 'special' friends........."

Anyone have any idea who the "Special Friends" might be? Considering how close our great leader was to the club a few years ago? Probably wishful thinking but hmmmmmm. :?: :!:

I think this means Justin Sullivan & several members of NMA, but...
*fingers crossed*

I saw Mr Sullivan earlier this year - he played a very fine version of "Gimme Shelter"...

Oh - I forgot:
The Source

The guy "fcstpauli-Sven" is one of the promoters of this festival, so I think, it IS an official announcement.

Yeah, I definitely want to hear if AE does a quick turn with NMA.
Didn't someone spot Justin at one of the Leeds gigs?

Ten years ago I probably would have been on a ferry or plane by now.
Still, Eldritch with the Utah Saints remains eight of the best minutes of
live entertainment I have witnessed to date.

Finally, Justin & friends played a fine 30-minutes-gig - and Andrew played bass during most of the songs.
Here is the setlist (as it was posted by Christian W. to Dominion):
setlist:
Snelsmore
Lovesongs
Gimi Shelter (sic!)
Long Goodbye
Inheritance
225
+ one more I could not identify (Strange Brotherhood?)
It was a very nice day at the Millerntor-Stadium, Turbonegro kicked ass!
And no: Andrew didn't sing anything.

Let's post this on the "Is Von hot or not". :? :wink:

As if the bass thing wasn't weird enough...

Still, quite Cyber Punk - guess he really is reading too much Gibson!

My God, he really is playing bass, and without looking at his fingers, too! I have to say, I really like the haircut. Very rockabilly, I agree. Very Jimmy Somerville.

I was aware that he was a reasonable guitar player, although he has
previously stated that he was incapable of playing guitar standing up or
playing and singing at the same time.

It was appear at least some of that copious free time has been put to
good use...
