I just noticed one of my favorite bands from the past, The Sisters of Mercy is coming to Seattle on Sunday November 23, 2008. The English goth-rock band performs industrial type music and emerged from the British post-punk scene nearly 30 years ago performing all the way up until 1994. The show includes the groups perennial singer and songwriter Andrew Eldritch along with their signature drum machine Doktor Avalanche.
They will be performing an All Ages show at El Corazón at 8pm and I hear that the band always put on a good show. While it is all ages there is a bar available – 21+ with ID. Tickets are $35 and may be available at the door or through Ticketswest but you have to contend with those high ticket fees.
And here are two great songs and videos by the group.
Lucretia, My Reflection and Temple of Love:
A couple more great songs and videos you need to check out from over 15 years ago: Dominion and More.
Funny, I used to rock out to these guys in high school when all the other lame goth kids were worshipping Marilyn Manson.
