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.

Music was awesome! Black Audio were very entertaining. Sisters still got it! Parking is so easy at the Greek. It was a beautiful October night, clear skies, the stars were out. Perfect for an outdoor show. Great vibes!
First and last time seeing The Sisters. After only an hour they finished their set and came back for a 2 song encore. Fans deserve better.
First visit to History to see British rock legends Sisters of Mercy. Like many aging artists, Andrew Eldrich doesn't have a voice anywhere nearly as strong and melodic as it once was. That aside, every song was ruined by annoying sound issues. Inconsistent volume on lead vocal, distortion, crackling. Did they even do a sound check? Oh, and a bit of visual variation would also have been nice. Disappointed 😞
Went to see specifically for Blaqk Audio. They were great. Wish they had a longer set(40ish min). Sister Of Mercy were meh. Stayed for like 2 songs. Wanst digging it and went home.
Really enjoyed this show. The Aragron Ballroom was a perfect venue for the Sisters of Mercy. Great acoustics. Very cool midnight environment. Once Andrew Eldritch got warmed up he sounded great. His supporting musicians were as well. Their songs are so iconic and recognizable. Form me, this was a must see performance.
The venue was so beautiful and the sound was great! I love SOM! Great experience!
The Temple is amazing. Every detail, every moment, just great. My soul and spirit really happy with this concert.
This was a bucket list band/concert for me and it did not disappoint! We haven't gotten to see the Sisters out here in the US too much, we even had a 14 year drought, so getting to see them live for the first time was ethereal for me! Plus I finally got an official shirt (each color has different lyrics on them which I love!) and not to mention the Greek Theater is my favorite outdoor venue ever. A perfect evening, I truly hope I get to see them in the Los Angeles area again!
This was my 3rd time seeing the Sisters of Mercy and what a great performance! Andrew brought new energy to his set by means of a new guitarist “Kai” from the Japanese metal band Esprit D’Air who not only is an amazing guitarist but has a lovely voice that backed Andrew’s- like Sisters from the 80’s. Andrew and the rest of the band gave it their all too playing non stop hits from their long career. Crowd was energetic and brought their best Goth selves- outfits added to the vibe and of course the Aragon was a perfect setting with its 1920s architecture. Can’t wait to see them in concert again!
They sounded great! Fun energy, great light show. They played a bunch of classics. Sadly nothing off of First & Last & Always but all the hits from Floodland and several from Vision Thing. And Alice!
