From SistersWiki.org - The Sisters Of Mercy Fan Wiki
Vanbrugh College, York, England
There is nothing much known about this gig.
The sharp-sighted fanbase @Heartland Forums have, however, detected this snippet of information from Post Punk Diary 1980-1982 by George Gimarc:
February 5, 1982 Friday:
"This is York. City of red skins and blue collar rockers. This is a gig to be part of. Nice one. Sisters of Mercy's rhythm guitarist is in detention at school in Leeds. We wait for the little terror at the University. He looks about seven and the singer looks great. The bassist smells like he's just come from the 3 Johns. Spot the Mekon! Spiggy sings sommat about '69. Northerner takes detour through Detroit. This the MC5 of what? The Sisters go funky, Spigg hangs on like an unwanted junkie - some f**king nun! The music is all broken guitar strings and cracked voices. Pop! This is rock and roll insecticide. Skinny rent boys play scratchy guitar. Nice one. Sisters of Mercy slap and slam, the audience clap and cram the dancefloor. The Sisters whip out the single ("Body Electric"), flash both sides ("Adrenochrome") and the dancers call for more poison."
Sisters of Mercy are seen playing live by X. Moore, who writes up a description of the goth band for the readers of NME.

Thanks to Heartland Forum member dtsom, we can also present you with what is most likely the oldest Sisters flyer available ... :-))) ...
