Last night: The Sisters of Mercy at Bayou Music Center. tsomofficial bayoumusiccntr
Bayou Music Center on cassette during a trip from Austin to Houston with my sophomore girlfriend. It was an overcast day, intermittently rainy, and suited the music perfectly.performed well enough, charting near the top 10 and selling several hundred thousand copies . With videos for"This Corrosion" and"Dominion" in regular rotation on MTV'sAnd then ... nothing.
For a band that's been a mostly touring outfit since that time, the Sisters' stage setup is relatively spartan: stage floor lights alternating the ROYGBIV spectrum, fog machines, and not much in the way of banter. Eldritch is a master of lurking upstage, then looming forward to suddenly appear, like an apparition, while growling at his audience.
I know I'm not supposed to call them Goth. Unlike the Cure, who have embraced the label, Eldritch flatly rejects it, referring to that period as"just one of our many one-week-of-stupid-clothes benders." Last night's overwhelmingly black-clad audience might disagree, but as the one guy in hiking boots at the show, I'm not going to throw stones.
For a while, I thought the only words he would say to the audience would be his perfunctory"Good evening." But then, after"But Genevieve," he said,"Hello, Texas. Let’s talk about Ted Cruz."
