Any Europe summer festival dates in 2013 ?

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.

The one year I actually think about planning a trip to Europe in advance to coincide with some festivals ...and it's tumble weeds. Typical.

They would have to be a very late addition somewhere at this stage. But as far as I can see Chris's other commitments will be over by the summer so he would have time to plan the next dates then ..

I don't think there will be any Sisters gigs this year.
Number nine is a significant number for The Sisters :
- Nine while nine
- "Nine, nine, nine, singer down" (Under the Gun)
- And no gigs each nine years : 1986-1995-2004-2013-2022

This type of thinking really doesn't make any sense, but the fact remain : No Sisters gigs in 2013. Or is this just a trigger to Andrew to illustrate this type of thinking is indeed stupid.

They didn't play in 1994, either ... so there it goes, this funny theory ... :wink: ...

I really really wanted to do Fortarock but I will just be back from 2 weeks in the UK and then heading off to the US again soon afterwards so I will probably spend that weekend with work and preparations. if for any reason some trips are cancelled I am there for sure. I hope to go to some gigs starting mid July. I also wanted to see Black Sabbath in November but not in NL on the date either. not lucky with the scheduling now.

I know, but 1994 isn't the issue, it's 1995 that's count in here :wink:

Dr. Avalanche is looking for new musicians and a singer, after sacking the current line-up last December. Apparently Avalanche refused to play any of Eldritch's new drum tracks, saying: "There's a difference between ployrhythm and not knowing what the feck you're doing."
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.

Thanks for your appreciation Bartek. You know, at the very beginning nobody believed Eistein either :wink:

Is there a calculation for the next album release date - or does that come uner "insufficient data"

Yes, due to insufficient data it's quite hard but I'll give it a try : I guess 2017. The justification for this is even more rediculious :

F&L&A in 85 : 8+5 = 13
FL in 87 : 8+7 = 15
VT in 90 : 9+0 = 9
SGWBM in 92 : 9+2 = 11

So the next missing number in this row (9, 11, 13, 15, ...) = 17
Besides, 1917 was Lenin's start of Mother Russia, 2017 is the next album.
If you want the credits for this nonsense too, please do so ... :wink:

But nevertheless "nine" still remains something significant.
I'm not Mister Soleil, but concerning this "Nine"-theory, two other illustrating "hard facts" taken from my personal life :

1. The last time I met Andrew in private (at Helsinki Airport) was on 27.07.11 at 3.33 (pm local time).
If you add this together (2+7) (7+1+1) (3+3+3), this is 9 9 9 too !!

2. And after my parents death I sold the house where I spent my childhood/youth and where Sisters music was played for so many years. The date of the official selling was ... 09/09/09 !

So does this mean we just have to wait until AE is 99 before the new album is out ?

If it ever does come out it'll be such a shock to the system you'll be dialling 999

Nope. After 13-15 and 9-11, the next pair of numbers should be 5-7 (the progression between pairs is descending, not random).
So the next album is due for... 2014!!! (1+4=5) (Unless it was released in 2005 and somebody forgot to tell us. Which would explain why they didn't tour in 2004: they were recording the album! :lol:)
And then there will another one in 2016!!! (1+6=7)

Yeah right...
