For over four decades, The Sisters of Mercy (TSOM) have been an iconic force in underground music: defining, defying and denying numerous subgenres of rock and roll. Their unique blend of punk-psychedelia, metal, dance beats and guttural growls has mesmerized the masses for several generations.
?Formed in Leeds, 1980, The Sisters of Mercy, while named after a Leonard Cohen song, took inspiration from such luminaries as Bowie, Slade and The Velvet Underground. But their closest sonic bedfellows are The Stooges, Motörhead and Suicide, the influence of which imbued The Sisters with a distinct sound of their own when compared to others in the post-punk era. The band released series of legendary Eps and the Debut album First and Last and Always between 1980-1985.
1987’s Floodland was a massive breakthrough for the band, featuring epic tracks such as “Dominion,” “Lucretia My Reflection,” and, of course, the 10+ minute opus “This Corrosion,” all three of which can still be heard on dance floors to date. 1990’s Vision Thing featured a harder, more metal-influenced sound, yet retained their trademark drum machine pummel and lyrical ambiguity.
The disingenuous nature of the music industry in the ‘90s left Andrew Eldritch with a distaste for the record business, shifting his focus to performing live in lieu of releasing recorded music. Yet, while The Sisters of Mercy have not released an LP since Vision Thing, their popularity and impact has only grown stronger over time, with their erudite rock and roll cacophony influencing countless bands over their tenure.
Despite the lack of a new record, the band’s writing has been incredibly prolific in the last couple of years, having showcased a large number of well-received new songs during their 2022 live dates. The material has been said to reflect the strongest elements of the band’s 3 classic LPS, whilst maintaining a thoroughly contemporary sound, adhering vehemently to the Sisters’ ethos to move “ever forward”.
Recent live reviews have championed the show as the band’s strongest in years, with Eldritch supported by the stellar performances of Ben Christo, Kai, ‘Ravey’ Dave Creffield and, as ever, Doktor Avalanche. Add to this a cinematic light show and a set list of huge hits, deep cuts and acclaimed new tunes and you’ve got the recipe for a killer night.
Restaurang Trädgårn eller Trädgår'n är en restaurang som ligger i Trädgårdsföreningen vid Nya Allén i Göteborg. Det första caféet på denna plats öppnades på våren 1858 och var ritad av arkitekten Adolf W. Edelsvärd. Det fanns bara manlig betjäning och punsch som enda spritdryck. Schweizeri kallades det då, även "Cafépavillon med tre Verandor ". Den byggdes om och flera tillbyggnader gjordes under åren. Den beskrevs 1870 vara byggd "... i en lätt, fantastisk morisk stil, der förfriskningar hållits allmänheten tillhanda. När härtill kommit att man på aftnarne bjudits på musik, af olika musikkårer, för hvilken en paviljong blifvit i sednare tid uppförd, så är det ej att undra öfver att den vackra anläggningen under somrarne är mycket besökt."
En av Trädgårns största publikframgångar var Kabaré Kumlin 1987 med After Shave och Anders Eriksson .
Många av Sveriges mest namnkunniga artister har framträtt på denna scen, bland andra Helt Apropå, Magnus och Brasse, Anita Lindblom, Bosse Parnevik, Lars Berghagen, Bernt Dahlbäck, Lill-Babs och Charlie Norman men även internationella namn och band som till exempel Dimmu Borgir, Alice Cooper, Ace Frehley och Brandy.
