Personally, I was distracted by true love at this point in time, but someone here must have been there. Step forward and claim your rightful place in Sisters' history. Were you the geezer at the front in the Head and Star T-shirt looking bemused? Or the lad falling back into the crowd at the end of Heaven? Or the lass reaching to the sky while the credits rolled? Or is it well past your bedtime?

Thrash, am I on a different planet from you?
No!
I went and figured, end of Wake, yeah? they all looked like PsychoBillies & Betties to me, hair wasn't long enough and not the requisite blackness of apparel.

I would have been, in retrospect but I was only 14 in June 85 - but it was not "my Sisters time" till September 1987 when I had my eyes opened by Floodland - and I lost my Sisters Cheery at Reading in 91!
Ironically - WAKE is one of my fave Sisters gigs - in particular "A Rock And A Hard Place / Floorshow" from that gig

I was certainly more Psychobilly than Goth. You could always guarantee a good dose of the Cramps of an evening down the Phono. When I saw the Sisters @ Leeds University on the Black October tour, full-on Goths were definitely in the minority. A very eye-catching minority, granted, but then it was probably full of students like myself. Whether there were more natives at their earlier Warehouse gigs, I couldn't say. I only saw them the once.

In the mid to late 80s the majority of my mates were PsychoBilly and Bettys, only about 4 of us were what you might term Goth, we all used to hang out in Hurricanes in Glasgow and there was never any trouble. Our soundtrack of an evening would feature music from both genres, I recall a lot of Guana Bats, Meteors and Demented Are Go.
happy days
