Facebook stuff...all pondlife filtered out!

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.

thought i'd have a thread for sisters-related FB stuff rather than have a new thread each time.

So Ben says he's rehearsing with Dylan... but no mention of Eldritch. Plus ca change.

Not quite holding my breath, but do you normally rehearse a whole month for three gigs? Or is it possibly something else that has kept Dylan in Leeds for several weeks now :?:

Maybe he was quarantining for a couple of weeks first to be on the safe side?

That's of course a possibility, although assuming he's vaccinated he wouldn't have had to since he arrived after the UK liberalisation regarding this end of July.

Ben Christo:

I reveal to LOUDER the Sisters songs that mean the most to me & why, going right back to the first time I ever heard the band, aged 14, to the present & being the group’s longest-running guitarist.

Thanks, Mark Andrews!

You just got the wrong idea of pond life, because you joined only more or less recently and were spared from the most of it. So hell ... :wink: ...

Anyway, thanks Lee, for conveying some rare "news" to us here ... :D ... Sisters news flash here indeed almost feels like being in a forgotten pond in a far away wood... :lol: ...
