Saw Sisters in Chicago last night and Kai was a fabulous addition to the band; well done Andrew!
Kai, thank you for all you bring to the Sisters!
Just saw them in San Diego last night, an amazing show with tons of energy – perfect for Halloween season!
Hi!!! Saw you last night playing with the Sisters of Mercy, I was FLOORED!! You fit so perfect, I’ve been a Sisters fan for longer than you’ve been alive, huge gratitude for bringing back their sound. Loved LOVED loved watching you play!! Thank you. And sure hope to see you in Boston again one day! ❤️
As a 🤶 Christian I have issues with the 5 star logo like Rush too for eg but the big picture is this is an incredibly beautifully sounding outfit.The study of law at Leeds coincided for me with the rise from obscurity with a mighty whammy of fla on old grey whistle test.The singer Eldritch has good integrity not to release for big profit.A witty and giftedxman he inspiredcme to pick up guitar 🎸 and wow that Marx rhythm vs Husseys overhead pumping base sparse vocals and banging drum machine was the sound to respect and emulate Jesus God bless them!
Love what you bring to the band!
