About

The Sisters of Mercy on Tour

Formed in Leeds, England in 1980, The Sisters of Mercy is led by the deep baritone of singer and co-founder Andrew Eldritch. Their sound blends goth-rock and post-punk into haunting melodies, dance beats, atmospheric soundscapes, and lyrics that leave a lasting impression. The band achieved global cult status with their distinct self-proclaimed "supercharged industrial psychedelia" sound.

The Sisters of Mercy recorded their first single, "The Damage Done," with Eldrtich on vocals and drums, and co-founder Gary Marx on guitar. Eldritch later replaced himself on drums with a drum machine they named Doktor Avalanche.

They released their first album, First and Last and Always, in 1985. Their second album, Floodland, followed in 1987, with Vision Thing, the third and final full-length album, releasing in 1990 -- peaking at  No. 11 on the UK Albums Chart. Each album hosts a different lineup, with Eldritch's iconic vocals and Doktor Avalanche being the constants. While The Sisters of Mercy have not recorded new material since the '90s, they continue to write new music, also performing it during their live shows.

Known as a band with diverse tastes, The Sisters of Mercy have covered everything from Dolly Parton's "Jolene" to Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and The Stooges' "1969."

In an interview with Australia's AMNplify, Eldritch had this to say about their live performances: "A third of the set consists of all your favorites, a third is unreleased material, and the other third is never even thought of because we are generating a lot of new material with a new guitarist and we're actually writing stuff like crazy."

The Sisters of Mercy Live in Concert

The current version of The Sisters of Mercy are Andrew Eldritch (vocals, keyboards, guitars, drum programming), Ben Christo (guitars, backing vocals, bass) and Dylan Smith (guitars, backing vocals). The band was originally founded by Eldritch and guitarist Gary Marx so that they could hear themselves on the radio. The band takes its name from Robert Altman's film McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971), which featured a track from Leonard Cohen's album Songs of Leonard Cohen called "Sisters of Mercy."

Their music has been cited as a major influence by several legendary bands, including Metallica, Nine Inch Nails and My Chemical Romance.

    Not quite as expected but enjoyable.

    by Rob B on 6/26/23Big Night Live - Boston

    The singer's voice is not quite what it used to be. Still a fun flashback kind of concert. Played the hits and the crowd was enjoying themselves.

    Sisters Bucket List concert

    by Big Al the Tuna on 6/25/23

    Waited over 20 years for them to return to Chicago and they did not disappoint! Sound was good overall but you can tell they increased volume on his mic cause his voice was pitchy at times but honestly I didn’t care. It was just great to see them and appreciate the music. Everyone in the crowd were pretty tame. Of course you saw the Goths but I personally was happy to see so many younger rock fans and the venue was packed.

    Eh

    by AH on 6/17/23Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) - Denver

    The band was fantastic! The sounds at the Fillmore auditorium on the other hand? Not great. The sound was completely off for both bands. Pretty disappointed I paid to see a live show with worse sound quality than my car speakers

    Las Vegas was sooo much better!!!

    by C. Jaye on 6/14/23Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) - Denver

    Idk if they need a different sound engineer but the sound was not good. Andrew didn't sound like Andrew. The show in Vegas was so good it's the reason I got Tix to the Denver show. We left at approximately the middle and went to see Spider Verse 2.

    Sisters of Mercy Uptown KC

    by Bernie on 6/13/23Uptown Theater - Kansas City

    A maze ing! The venue is so gorgeous and ornate- perfect for a goth concert! The opening band, A Primitive Evolution played so beautifully and captured many new fans. The Sisters of Mercy was so so so beautiful! No theatrics, just music and the energy was alive! A perfect night for the books. Incredibly thankful.

    Too Much For So Little

    by N8dgr8 on 6/13/23Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) - Denver

    Not being too familiar with the venue I ended up paying for a fast pass (which I didn't need) and the VIP lounge. The VIP lounge included 2 bars, a balcony and bathrooms. There was additional seating but apparently it's not what I paid for when I paid to be in the VIP lounge. The balcony seating should have either been included or at least listed online (I paid for this over six months ago). The opening act did extremely well and Sisters of Mercy performed better than the reviews I heard. I appreciated having the option of helping a local school district by parking in their area. I am always one for supporting local even though I am from out of town. I would give a better review but from the experience of having not paying enough or not given the option of balcony seating, 3 stars is all I am giving the Filmore Auditorium.

    Top Form

    by Butter_Hoarder on 6/12/23Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) - Denver

    I very much enjoyed the show and the encore performances. The band was on point, and Andrew growled well through the night. It was quite the experience. I’d go again.

    No vocals

    by Oldgoth on 6/12/23Uptown Theater - Kansas City

    Either the sound mixer or mic for Andrew was seriously dysfunctional. At best, the vocals were terribly muddy. At best, they were absent towards the end of the concert. I was so completely disappointed. I wanted so much to rock out on this evening. The set list was excellent, however.
