Teen Gothic

I love how dark and moody this song is. I like a good handful of goth bands from many subgenres but this has a distinct vibe I should explore more? It feels cold wave but not electronic, which compels me

Sisters is playing on my birthday this week at one of my favorite venues in town and it's a milestone – I'll be 40! They are one of my all time favorites and I've never seen them live, mostly due to not wanting to risk the disappointment. I know the rep they have when it comes to pretty lousy shows and I would hate to waste $ 150 on a bad show on a day I'll always remember. Have recent shows gotten any better???

So earlier today I was looking around online to see if the Atlanta Georgia show had been canceled for "The Sisters Of Mercy", since the one in Florida had been, and found a few threads of complaints about the band live. I dug a little deeper and it seems like they are notorious for being bad live! This was the first time I had heard this, granted I don't know too too much about the band but enjoy their music quite a lot, and from what everyone had said my expectations going into the concert were not the highest. But it was fine! I thought the show was great! Great crowd participation, great energy, both guitarist were clearly very passionate and at the end one even got down and shook lots of people's hands. I did notice the lead singers energy was a little lower, the guitarists definitely carried the bulk of the energy, and the instruments exceeded the vocals at a lot of points which could have covered some of the error but honestly..if it works it works. My boyfriend and I both agree that the show was great, so maybe they just had a crazy good night in Atlanta? Maybe my live performance judgment is off? I don't know, just wanted some outside opinions I guess
