Just wondering if there's any Sisters fans on here?
I'm going to see them in Norwich next month and I can't bloody wait, I've been a fan for about 15 years and never seen them live.

Sisters still going. I loved these back in their heyday. One of their concerts at Shepards Bush in the early 90's is still one of the best gigs i've been to. Probably something to do with the Japanese girl i was seeing at the time who was a really into goth music, Bauhaus especially.
What ever happened to her.........

saw fields of the nephelium at the glasgow barrowlands years ago, but never the SoM. not the biggest fan, but stuff like this corrosion and mother russia is still kicking around on the iPod.

The Sisters have never stopped touring but they haven't released any material as they were having trouble with their record company and had to wait for the contract to expire in 1998. A new album is currently on the cards according to various sites but as it's been 13 years since the last one I won't hold my breath.

Agree that This Corrosion and Dominion/Mother Russia still sound good 19 years later.

sorry i did not get back before now, yes its a good enough venue, large enough, but not so large that it loses it small venue feel, if you see what i mean, oh and the bars are good too
as for car parking, well loads on the site so not too much of a worry.
hope you enjoy the gig.

Went to the Norwich gig last night, absolutely fantastic show!!
Highlights for me were Flood 1, Dominion, This Corrosion, Alice and Temple Of Love.

Anyone else been to see them?

No, not been to see them recently (to be honest, I didn't even know they were touring), but I did get to see them back in the 90s, and they were great. I remember I was waiting in hope of a new album even back then..... All three studio albums are very good, and each has a slightly different take on the gothic sound. Though I think the first one is the best. Favourite song - probably Amphetamine Logic.

Saw them at Reading festival in '91 loved it. Can't say i'd bother now. Andrew "I'm not a goth Eldritch" Bauhaus have toured recently!! LOVED to have seen them. The Cult are playing where I live in October want to see them.

I've been a fan since about 1984 and was really looking forward to seeing them at Reading. I got a bad stomach from a dodgy burger and spent their entire set in the medical tent. I was gutted.

Would loved to have seen them this year but everywhere was sold out. Grrrr.
