James Brown is a Sisters fan!

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.

...well, James Brown, former editor of 'Lads Mag' Loaded and former Citizen Of Leeds 6, anyway... :lol:

"One afternoon when I was 17, Gary Marx, the lead guitarist from the Sisters of Mercy, came round my squalid bedroom and answered some questions about his band for my fanzine, Attack on Bzag!."

And so his article in today's Independent Review begins:

http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/media/ ... ory=542662

It's more about him rather than t'Sisters (what would you expect from a master of self promotion?), however...One For The Archives nevertheless... :innocent: ;D

PS: To anyone in Leeds right now: it's lurrvly to be going thru' the Monsoon Season (Tues 20th July, 2100 BST) innit??!! :roll: :eek: :urff:

It is a nice article. In a way, a reminder that the (post)-punk scene wasn't just the music and the bands, but there were hundreds of fanzines and amateur journos too.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Good to see the absolutely sterling effort folks put in back then getting recognised.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
