Now, they are invited back for a double gig after having played in the same place last year and they arrive with a new line-up, more new songs and a series of great shows behind during their currently running Sisters Scar The Planet Edge Tour. The venue has a long history and a capacity of around 1,500. Remarkably, they operate the maybe last functioning mechanical dance floor in the US.
