12 April 2002. Sisters are slated to headline two European festivals this summer, and plan to include new songs in the set-list.

ooooh..... nice!

let's hope it ain't just a couple more covers eh?

Lets hope they end up releasing the bastards !!!!

Like that will happen....



Paddy.

It will, it will...

a New World Order and Maximum Jack is still unreleased and unplayed live, except New World Order, according to some they played as a outro or was it a intro in Gelsenkirchen 98 ??:

I assume by the fact that I have not heard to the contrary, that these 'new' songs didn't come about?

Shame. I was rather looking forward to some of the "less gung-ho" numbers.

Has anyone heard anything of them or about them?

Two more shows to go, and possibly a European tour aftwards. Let's not give up hope of new songs yet.
An' I know you're all optimists or else you wouldn't have come here.

I am optimistic, yes.

The next 2 gigs will be the last this year, and the DVD won't be out until next year at the earliest.
I got this information from Jessica who works for The Sisters (sells their merchandise and films the shows). She was at the Siouxie gig last Saturday btw.

might she just be towing the party line

we never get told any actual truths do we?

Am

Ide be inclined to agree with PIB here. (!)

But the "believe it when i see it " Mantra is applicable.

Paddy.

at the w/e I heard from a reliable source that the good Dr was programmed up with a couple of new songs, but due to internal issues within the band they didn't
get played at St Vith or Bex.

Theres also quite a lot of evidence to back up the stories of a possible DVD release, not least the 2 camera men
at St Vith.

Ah, sounds like another line up change may be on the way.

With all the changes over the road too (Mish)

How long before Von finds himself in the Mish, and Huss in the Sisters???

Now that would be very amusing indeed!

Ben that hat gives you away.Your not the big guy who put your hat on Wayne at Chelmsford are you?

Hello to Alice with the Sisters t.shirt on.Where did you get that t.shirt from??? I want one!!

Nope,

I'm the big guy who had his hat put on Wayne's head by somebody else, Dream Weaver!

I'm glad he'd washed his hair, otherwise I'd have been very cross!

Curses! Found out again!!!

Drat!

Damn. I was rather hoping Adam would make the full decade. Mind you, I hear Craig Adams is looking for a job...
Don't know how much truth there is in it, but I read somewhere that Gary Marx twice approached Eldritch in the '90's looking for his old job and was turned down on both occasions. Still, things are more cordial between Von and Marx than between Craig and Von.
I recall his last comment on Craig was something to the effect of "The man is bald, fat and looks ugly. Couldn't possibly have someone like that on a Sisters' stage." Ouch!
I guess that renunion ain't happening anytime soon.
And who knows where Mr Benjamin Matthews is these days?

Indeed.

The wearer of the big glasses has almost been totally forgotten!

Mr Matthews doesn't even get a mention in the 'Where are they now?' section of this site.

In fact it would be quite easy for some big good looking bloke in a large black hat to nick his name with hardly anybody noticing, except the occational Brazilian asking him in chatrooms, why he got a credit on 'Some Girls Wander'

I ask you!

I'm going to write to my MP about this one.

poor old ben he doesn't get a mention (yet) coz i couldnt find out anything about him

anyone? does anyone know anything? ??:

my fave sisters guitar sound is from the period he was in the band....

Ben Gunn - real name Mathews

seem to remember reading that he had become a teacher ??:

is this enough info to start a 'where are they now?' thread about him?

Somebody must have some info on him.

He must have wielded that fairly cheap axe in some other band at least once in the prevailing 18 years!!!

We must find him!!!!

I'm offering a prize for the first person to be thrown off his doorstep, or have an injunction slapped on them for hassing him at the 'Imo Car wash'

I'm on the case!!!

I've found a Doctor Ben Matthews with a Leeds telephone number.

And a picture of a man with glasses riding a bike!

More to follow.....

i have been pointed in the direction of an interesting lead...

suffice to say, "If you want to see juggling, go watch clowns. You know who they are."

I have emailed Doctor Matthews, so fingers crossed!
