PATRICIA MORRISON & THE SISTERS OF MERCY © profelipe ™
The album “Floodland” is a classic and it was basically made with the bass of Patricia Morrison. Andrew Eldritch had worked with her in the Sisterhood. There was no tour to the “Floodland”. For what would be the next album, “Vision Thing”, there will be not only promotional videos. By the way, there was a new member in the band: guitarist Andreas Bruhn.
The first shows would be in Brazil in 1990. Of the five shows, I saw three, one in São Paulo and two in Rio This means that I almost saw Patricia Morrison perform live (the dream of every fan).
However, Eldritch had other plans. He would make an album based on guitar sound and no on bass – which angered many people. Andreas Bruhn was the “guy”. Patricia Morrison resigned and it was called for her place – revolt! – the hated Tony James, former frontman of the “fake” Sigue Sigue Sputnik.
The formation that played on the album and that came to Brazil were the three and yet the guitarist Tim Brechno (ex-All About Eve) and, of course, Doktor Avalanche.
Tony James also was fired during the “Vision Thing” tour. There was no another bass player. This would be a job to Doktor Avalanche.
The group had several formations after this. I saw The Sisters again in 2006, in Rio de Janeiro. The bass sound was made by Doktor Avalanche. On some songs, however, one of the guitarists played the bass. The concert was, as always, pretty good.
