Saw tehm back the Mission in 87 ish, after they finished we did debate whether or not to bother staying to watch the mish :)

I was always a sucker for the obvious heavy bass line of rlyl
as well as new model army, happy too have experienced both live!

long live metal machine madness ~:D
The band used guitars like chain saws, the drum machine was like a pace-maker on steroids to keep the drummer at full tilt! we did have an awesome sound on and off-stage - I engineered most of the vinyl and i'm proud that it still leaps out of your speakers! - Having mixed the Sisters of Mercy at festivals too I can say there is a lot of 'Leeds-based aural excitement' out there.
Leon the Bass ;~}

Saw the many time in mid 80s (Hamburg, Bremen) - fantastic! Great great gigs! Best ever! Thank you so much guys!
-
Saw these guys in Chicago and didn't know a thing about them but my GOD were they amazing. This was sometime in the mid-eighties? Very, very cool band!

I'm jealous Harry. Chris is still taking the band on the road, playing solo sets and the occasional Lorries set ... and he sets the place alight ... but what I wouldn't give to see Chris & Wolfie & the band play a full on set like yesteryear.

Sisters can be a bit melodramatic for sure.

Don't get me wrong, I loved The Sisters too, but I found them a little contrived even in my teens.

Gitarrensound vom feinsten.Etwas zum abdrehen!
Pure, unadulterated Lorries. Goth at its finest; goth dressed in tight jeans, t-shirt and leather jacket, waiting outside the venue door in the rain for a gig in Leeds in the 80s. Not some poncey middle class art student sitting in a graveyard reading Proust. Here today.

It must have been cool to be around when this sound was strong. I still like Sisters though, I like March Violets too although their later stuff kind of sucked.
