Teen Gothic

I saw the flyer for Sick New World and instantly bought tickets after I saw London After Midnight, She Wants Revenge and most importantly Sisters of Mercy were playing there.

I'm a big fan of all their shit, but recently I watched one of their 2022 live performances for the first time and saw that they don't even have a drummer or a bassist anymore; but instead 2 young flashy guitarists and some guy on a laptop, all the songs sounded really disappointing. The band just doesn't work without bass/drums and it made me sad as balls hearing them play Lucretia my Reflection without the bassline

I thought I saw somewhere that the original band was getting back together for Sick New World, maybe in an Instagram comment, but I can't find anything online. Does anyone know if they're going to have drums and bass for this event? cause if not I don't know if I want to ruin the band for myself by seeing them live if they sound like what I heard

Hey there, I got tickets to see sisters of Mercy on Nov 5th at the forum in Melbourne, Aus, and would love to meet some like minded people in the Melbourne goth scene to go with! Would be more than happy to meet up beforehand to hang and chill, just interested in meeting some cool peeps 😁 I'm 25 btw. Anyone interested?

Chris McQ, NB vocalist for San Diego hardcore band Therapy and synth/backup vox for heavy post-punkers The Passengers, is currently undergoing treatment for sudden onset lymphoma. Very proud of Chris and both bands they're in, with whom I was lucky enough to release their debut LPs. Looking to donate some of the proceeds of both releases. Chris's Gofundme below.
