6music dream ticket

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.

Jim Kerr is still Alive and Kicking?

Saw them years ago...he did what I call his Faerie Dance in his ballet tights and slippers...laughed my ass off at that.

Perhaps he'll bring Chrissy...they are still together ??? and she can be his ballerina.

:wink:

Simple minds? Saw them at Bingley circa '81/82 headlining on the first night (Fururama?). Bingley was a disused cattle market and we slept in the stalls. Maybe that's where my Messianic tendencies were born? :notworthy:

Jim Kerr was very poorly and spent the gap between each song throwing up behind the sound system. No encore at the end and he was whisked away in an ambulance. What a trooper! :notworthy:

Bauhaus headlined the second night and were very groovy. Seemed to remember some support who were dressed as jungle natives and spent the time banging sticks and throwing flour over each other. Very bizarre. I think I lay down on the floor and went to sleep. Or past out with boredom. :|
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

No. The name will come to me - but I repeat - very, VERY strange.

Made Pete Murphy, stripped down to a leather thong, chanting from some astrological tome, as the guitarist shagged his amp stack, with his guitar, in an orgy of feedback, seem pretty normal stuff. :eek:

No, I can 'Shot gun gimme gimme lay down funboy ok yeh showdown' with the best of them. I'd never heard of them before. And haven't since. How they came to be second on the bill is beyond me. One of my mates went as well and we're still in touch. He'll remember. He's also still having counselling. :?

While surfing for the details of this gig for you I found this - http://www.scathe.demon.co.uk/histgoth/1980evt.htm
Nov 5: The Sisters of Mercy's debut single, "Damage Done"/"Watch" is reviewed by Robbi Millar in Sounds: "...sometimes I wonder if Ian Curtis knew what he was letting the world in for when he died for us. Certainly the Joy Division circus hasn't left us yet and its impressions grow increasingly gloomy by the day"
:eek: :evil:

Virgin Prunes?

http://virginprunes.com/html/performances.html
When the plug was pulled on them by the promoters of the 1981 Futurama festival, they remained squatting on stage, "vibing out" the audience, refusing to move.
Look at the pics -
http://virginprunes.com/html/gallery/un ... index.html :eek:
Their performances were a mixture of punk anger, theatrical performance, surrealist art and rock 'n' roll. The Dadaist tag was attached to them on several occasions (probably resulting from the title of one of their performances, The Dada Sitting Room) and this label seems more appropriate than any other. A Virgin Prunes show could include men in dresses clinging to decapitated dolls, two "pig children" scrabbling in the mud, a birthday cake slowly being smashed to pieces with a crowbar, the horror of a mock abortion, a family tea party slowly turning primal, poetry and chicken bones, an insane candlelit waltz, bloody pigs' heads on sticks, plates full of faeces, pseudo-religious ceremonies, or rabbits playing on a bed to the sound of a pornographic film soundtrack.
