From BillW's indispensable Seattle Gay Scene [link always over there on the left]:

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.

If only I weren't such a hermit, I'd be there. (But... really, even though it's my birthday-eve, I doubt I'd be able to bring myself to leave home for that long.)

I've never met Bill, but I see we share a taste for this "English goth-rock band [that] performs industrial type music."

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.

He offers a couple of videos, with links to more. The one I immediately went in search of when I saw his headline (under Qdo on the home page here) was this:

This Corrosion was in a mix (along with plenty of Soundgarden, Tool, and Type O Negative's great cover of Neal Young's Cinnamon Girl) that I used to pop into the CD player at about, oh... 4th of July pass during drives to Montana.

Speaking of which:

(And, yes... that's a very non-gay version of a song that's pretty gay in its original form. But when I heard in playing in a college-kids record store in Appleton, WI several years ago, I knew I just had to have it.)
