Teen Gothic

Flood II is absolutely the perfect SoM song for me, just beautiful. I love the bigger, more bombastic ones like Temple of Love and This Corrosion as well, but Flood II just has that perfect balance and a lower-key, mysterious vibe. Anyone else in on this?

Well, I just got home from the sold out sisters of mercy show in Lisbon. We waited along with the crowd in the sold out venue for roughly an hour, maybe more, until the promoter (or someone else) came out, apologized and notified us the show was cancelled.

We went outside to smoke and an ambulance pulled up to the venue 😬

Not sure what happened, there was some buzz it was alcohol and drugs related, maybe health stuff. Either way a bit of a disappointment — but hopefully he’s alright.

Super sad.

After 1h30 waiting after the opening band we were informed that Andrew was unwell and needed to go to the Hospital.

If you have tickets for Porto tomorrow be advised that he might not recover in time.

No more details were given by the promoters. Let's hope it's nothing serious.

The top looks like it has no collar. And maybe no buttons. I’ve never seen that before.

And let me tell you, it was absolutely sick. I got the barrier since I've been at the venue (Rockhal in Esch-sur-Alzette) since 2:30pm, the doors opened a little before 8pm. The support act, The Virginmarys, were sure not goth at all but still very good (I talked to them a little bit after at their merch booth and they were really nice guys, they even signed my CD), I listened to their albums beforehand and loved them, especially King of Conflict, so I was really excited to see them too. And then the Sisters of Mercy came on stage. Andrew didn't just stay static in front of the mic stand, he took the mic and went around on stage, doing little dances and robot-like moves. It was my first goth concert so I was really, really excited for it. And also, something incredible happened. At a moment, Ben Christo was playing in front of me, we had our hands raised, like a lot of people do at concerts, and… he handed me his guitar pick. I'm still so shocked. It's the first time I ever got a guitar pick from a concert, so it made my little black heart so, so happy. I'll cherish this pick and this moment forever. To sum it up, this was an incredible experience for me, and an absolute honor to see a living legend live.

hey! I'm going to see the sisters of mercy tonight at the roundhouse- is anyone else going that would like to meet up?
