Podcast appearances and mentions of andrew eldritch

It's just over forty years since The Sisters of Mercy's debut album came out, and more than three decades since the still-active band released their third and most recent. So we convened a panel of people for whom the band had meant something special back in the 1980s, for a meandering chat about Andrew Eldritch and his ever-changing cohort. Presented by J.R. Southall, with Mark Couperthwaite and Eric Drass Mark's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOxsDAgGEqsf9VKcG6SR82g  Eric's website: https://www.shardcore.org/spx/ N.B.

This week we're discussing every album by The Sisters of Mercy. Led by mastermind Andrew Eldritch, this band is paramount in the creation of goth music as we know it. Although they came a few years after pioneers like Siouxsie and the Banshees or The Cure, The Sisters of Mercy's style was so distinct and memorable that most of what we recognize as goth can be traced back to them. Even if goth isn't your thing, there's a lot to be had here.Closing track: “Temple of Love” from Some Girls Wander by Mistake (1992)Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerchhttps://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Mike's EP:Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,Instagram:Mike @pandermonkeyAlex @everyalbumalexTom @tomosmansoundsHistory Tom's stuff:Music on Spotify, ApplePodcast on Spotify, YouTubeSubstackWebsiteMike's Picks:First and Last and Always (1985) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteVision Thing (1990) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlex's Picks:Floodland (1987) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteVision Thing (1990) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlbums we discussed this episode…Some Girls Wander by Mistake (1992)First and Last and Always (1985)Floodland (1987)Vision Thing (1990)

I interviewed the legendary English music Journalist, author, environmental activist and founding member for the perennial post-punk band The Membranes John Robb.When John is not touring with his band (they recently toured in Europe with The Stranglers, The Chameleons and Fields Of The Nephilim), he's presenting, moderating or writing for his popular UK music site Louder Than War. John has previously written the best-selling books “Punk Rock : An Oral History” and “The North Will Rise Again : Manchester Music City 1976-1996”. His latest opus is the 650-page “The Art Of Darkness : The History of Goth”, an in-depth account that he feels presents the first major and comprehensive overview of Goth music and culture and its lasting legacy. The book is built mainly around the 80s post-punk Goth period featuring interviews with Andrew Eldritch, Killing Joke, Bauhaus, The Cult, The Banshees, The Damned, Einstürzende Neubauten, Johnny Marr, Trent Reznor, Adam Ant, Laibach, The Cure, Nick Cave and many others. …it looks at the music, style and the political and social conditions that spawned the culture and the great music, fashions and attitudes - clubs that defined it, and is also a first-hand account of being there at some of the legendary gigs and clubs that made the scene happen.  Pre-order the book now via Bandcamp: https://bit.ly/3VMBsvh   "It's like the encyclopedia of the dark suspended somewhere in time".

This is a special double episode celebrating "GothVember" combining 44 and 45 where we talk with guests Jenny Watts and Karen Horn Smith of Fossil & Hide simultaneously about their record picks, Phantasmagoria by the Damned and First and Last and Always by The Sisters of Mercy. In their own words:I chose the album by the Damned, Phantasmagoria, their 6th album released in July of 1985. This was the first Damned album that was made without the infamous Captain Sensible (although he did help write the song 'Is it a dream') AND the Damned's first goth album. Rat Scabies drumming on this record is nostalgic to me of a theme from an old western. Some would argue that this album is not a tried and true Damned album because of its lack of "punk" attributes but I disagree.  Without Dave Vanian, the Damned would not be the Damned. This is the one and only album by The Damned where Dave Vanian truly shines in all of his dracula glory with it's catchy, non-serious yet very thought out amazing vocals, goth glory and punk nostalgia. If you are a "punk" Damned album fan only, listen to Phantasmagoria about a hundred times and you will eventually get it!  - Jenny WattsI chose First and Last and Always by The Sisters of Mercy. The first time I heard the Sisters of Mercy was in 1990 on my local college radio station WFWM. The song was This Corrosion off of their second album Floodland. I was 15 and living in a small mountain town in western MD. My only source for alternative music was the local college radio station and MTV's 120 minutes, which I watched religiously every Sunday night. I remember being totally blown away by This Corrosion and so I begged my mom to drive me two towns over to Camelot music to see if they had any SOM tapes at the store. The only cassette they had was the band's debut album First and Last and Always so I bought it and it changed my 15 year old existence. I couldn't get enough of Andrew Eldritch's deep voice and gloomy lyrics. I love every song on this album and it has been in constant rotation since I first discovered it.  Andrew Eldritch can deny it all he wants (eye roll)  but the Sisters of Mercy hands down defined the goth sound of the 80's and have influenced countless other bands. I had the best time discussing this album! Thanks James, Cassy and Tom! - Karen Horn Smithhttps://www.fossilandhide.com/https://www.instagram.com/fossil_and_hide/

In the early 1980s two bands dominated the independent charts: the Smiths and the Sisters of Mercy. They have proved to be equally influential. In every city in the world you will find people dressed like they have just walked offstage from playing a gig with the Sisters of Mercy in 1983.“Paint My Name in Black and Gold” tells the story of their rise – how against the odds and all reasonable expectation they came to make transcendent and life-changing music. It is also about the glorious stupidity of being in a Leeds rock band in the early 80s. There's a lot of dry ice, blood, vomit, speed and sex in the toilets. There are tales involving a milk float, a VHS cassette of a Michael Caine film, a hibernating snake, a wardrobe in a tree, an amyl nitrate-soaked effects pedal and the inopportune consumption of Dutch hash cake.The Sisters began in 1980, meandered through two years of intermittent gigging, iffy recordings and sundry line-up changes without much attention being paid to them before finding their two classic line-ups: Eldritch on vocals, Adams on bass, Gary Marx and Ben Gunn – and later Wayne Hussey – on guitars, and a drum machine called Doktor Avalanche.By force of will and their own peculiar talents – and with the support of friends and the kindness of strangers – these young men achieved greatness. Hussey and Adams – The Evil Children, as they termed themselves – were hard living road dogs with fascinating musical back-stories. Neither Gunn nor Marx were natural rock'n'roll animals, but the latter performed with such abandon – often in such lurid shirts – that it was hard to believe he also wrote The Sisters' most delicate and beautiful music. Lead singer Andrew Eldritch was the most peculiar and compelling of them all, a singular and mesmerizing amalgam of T. S. Eliot and David Bowie. In the five years covered in this book, Eldritch staked a powerful claim to be the greatest rock star of his generation.Paint My Name in Black and Gold covers the band's rise until the release of their iconic first album.Mark Andrews is a journalist from the UK now living in Belgium. The first musician he ever interviewed was Lemmy – for the Folkestone Gazette in October 2003. Most recently, he has interviewed Jon Spencer, Boss Hog, Mudhoney and The Scientists. He has written for the Middle East Times, Egypt Magazine, LeftLion, Flanders Today, The Quietus and Louder. This book grew out of two acclaimed articles he wrote about the Sisters of Mercy for The Quietus.Purchase a copy of “Paint My Name in Black and Gold” through Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Paint-My-Name-Black-Gold/dp/1800180381Purchase an e-book copy of “Paint My Name in Black and Gold” through Unbound Books: https://unbound.com/books/sistersofmercyPurchase Wayne Hussey's book "Salad Daze": https://www.amazon.com/Salad-Daze-Wayne-Hussey/dp/1785586602/refJoin the Heartland Sisters of Mercy Forum here: https://www.myheartland.co.ukJoin the Sisters of Mercy 1980-1985 Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/The-Sisters-Of-Mercy-1980-1985-Group-1704379173138423Listen to a playlist of the music discussed in this episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/77NASBGupvv58UuoJcoHy2?si=1e562f4a0dc748f5The Booked On Rock Website: https://www.bookedonrock.comFollow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/bookedonrockpodcastTWITTER: https://twitter.com/bookedonrockSupport Your Local Bookstore!

A microphone is a good enough platform for getting back at people, but an entire recording studio is even better.  Popular music is littered with songs getting back at an ex lover, from Waylon Jennings to Taylor Swift, but a fair number of the tracks you know by heart are actually clap-backs to the people in the mixing booth or the record label offices.

RockerMike and Rob discuss the Sisters of Mercy. The Sisters of Mercy are an English rock band, formed in 1980 in Leeds.After achieving early underground fame there, the band had their commercial breakthrough in the mid-1980s and sustained it until the early 1990s, when they stopped releasing new recorded output in protest against their record company WEA. Currently, the band are a touring outfit only. The group has released three original studio albums: First and Last and Always (1985), Floodland (1987) and Vision Thing (1990). Each album was recorded by a different line-up; singer-songwriter Andrew Eldritch and the drum machine called Doktor Avalanche are the only points of continuity throughout. Eldritch and Avalanche were also involved in The Sisterhood, a side-project connected with Eldritch's dispute with former members. The Sisters of Mercy ceased recording activity in the early 1990s, when they went on strike against East West Records, whom they accused of incompetence and withholding royalties, and had pressured the group to release at least two more studio albums; instead, the label released the album Go Figure under the moniker SSV in 1997. Although the Sisters of Mercy were eventually released from their contract with East West, they have never been signed to another label nor released any new material, despite showcasing numerous new songs in their live sets. Former members of the group established the bands Ghost Dance and The Mission. http://www.the-sisters-of-mercy.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/4HxBVyHaUa60eCSsJWxwWR https://www.discogs.com/artist/83146-The-Sisters-Of-Mercy https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/the-sisters-of-mercy--2 Please follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com https://linktr.ee/RobRossi Get your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup And https://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/ https://app.hashtag.expert/?fpr=roberto-rossi80 https://dc2bfnt-peyeewd4slt50d2x1b.hop.clickbank.net https://8bcded2xph1jdsb8mqp8th3y0n.hop.clickbank.net/?cbpage=nb Subscribe to the channel and hit the like button --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-lumped-up-with-rob-rossi/id1448899708 https://open.spotify.com/show/00ZWLZaYqQlJji1QSoEz7a https://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup #musicproduction #musicvideo #musical #musiclover #musiclife #musician #musicians #musically #music #musicstudio #musicproducer #musicfestival --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support

Three sweeping captivating records fill reviews with Deafheaven's pivot to indie rock, Wolves in the Throne Room, and Between the Buried and Me's Colors II, and Album Club is The Sisters of Mercy's 1987 Steinman-assisted goth pop bombast Floodland.

Ryan has a very special guest for this episode of The Broken Record Player Podcast! Matt Vowles, the man behind the Gothic Rock band Black Angel, is here to talk about one of his favorite albums of all time: Floodland by The Sisters of Mercy. Ryan and Matt talk about how The Sisters of Mercy, and this album in particular, influenced Matt's music, how the record was mostly an Andrew Eldritch solo record, and how he's not too fond of his music being labeled as goth. Ultimately, Floodland is a catchy, dark, and timeless album that took The Sisters of Mercy to new heights, and created hit songs played in Goth clubs all over the world. Black Angel's third album Prince of Darkness is out June 18.

We're hunting big game with this month's commentary podcast, as we tackle the last release from one of the most infamous bands we're ever likely to cover - Andrew Eldritch's attempt to finally transform The Sisters Of Mercy into the machine-rock juggernaut of his dreams, Vision Thing. It's a record with terrifying lows, dizzying highs, and creamy middles, but ultimately stands as the purest expression of Eldritch's aesthetic fusion of sex, politics, and Americana. From Leonard Cohen-isms of varying strengths to Jim Steinman's final contribution to the band to Eldritch's constantly shifting relationship with his own fame, this is a jam-packed episode of We Have A Commentary you won't want to miss!

The Mission special with Wayne Hussey talking about life in music, Sisters of Mercy, The Mission and his new book, Salad Daze. After an aborted recording session with Andrew Eldritch in the summer of 1985, Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams left the Sisters of Mercy. Based in Leeds, the duo continued to work on various musical ideas and recorded them over the autumn. Dismissing the use of a drum-machine, Adams and Hussey asked Mick Brown to help out with the sessions. By the end of the year, he had joined the band on a permanent basis. With Hussey as both the frontman and principal songwriter, the trio required a second guitarist to facilitate a live set-up. They eventually recruited Simon Hinkler who also contributed keyboards and thus completed the four-piece. The name 'The Sisterhood' was chosen with a nod to past and rehearsals for the first shows started in January 1986. The new name quickly became a point of discussion in the English music-press, giving the four-piece significant amount of publicity. As 'The Sisterhood' the band made their live-debut on 20 January 1986 at the Alice in Wonderland, London. Hussey and Adams were released from their WEA contracts and the band signed a seven-album deal with Phonogram in July 1986. Their debut God's Own Medicine was then recorded in six weeks with novice producer Tim Palmer, an acquaintance from Hussey's Dead or Alive days. In October the single III(Stay With Me) was released, preceding the album that appeared the next month. The band set out on a three-month World Crusade I UK/European tour, with their dedicated followers 'Eskimos' in tow. They also appeared on British television a number of times and recorded a session for BBC radio. The single IV (Wasteland) charted at No. 11 in January 1987. The World Crusade II tour brought the band to North America, where they were known as 'The Mission UK'. The 41-date trek was characterised by substance abuse and led to the collapse of an inebriated Craig Adams in Los Angeles, resulting in him temporarily quitting the band. Sound man Pete Turner filled in for one show, before they enlisted the help of Chris Bocast to play bass with them for the remainder of the tour, which included an opening slot for The Psychedelic Furs. In March 1987, the single V (Severina) with a guest vocal from Julianne Regan was released. Back in England, Adams returned to the band to play a handful of European festivals, and two support dates in Leeds and Edinburgh on U2's Joshua Tree Tour. A live video entitled Crusade was released, capturing the band and their noisy audience at the early stage of their career. It coincided with the release of The First Chapter in June 1987, a collection of the material from the first two EPs

Joined by friend of the show, Marc, we discuss the recent game of Mega Civilization and how it went for everyone, as well as get into a discussion about who Andrew Eldritch is.

I can't say with any certainly that Andrew Eldritch would approve of all the bands on this mix (probably not), but it's a mix of songs with drum machines that I work to when in front of a computer.
