Utterly Bastard Groovy ?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Hi All,
I'm just wondering where the phrase "Utterly Bastard Groovy" is from (as in where did Eldritch or whoever came up with it got it from)?

I know it's something that could be said in Yorkshire or the north (that's my guess) (even though I'm originally from Nottingham, I'd never heard it used around there) and I wouldn't think it would be used in the south but does anyone have a better or correct answer for us?

I was trying to explain it to my (American) wife but couldn't.......
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Hope someone can give us an answer.

Thanks in advance

First used by Eldritch, so far as I'm aware, to describe NTTC shortly before it's release. Which is odd, as it seems more in tune with the latter Sisters, but there ya go.

I'd always assumed that it was just an Eldritchism.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I have always been under the impression that it was the sum total of a published review of the Adrenochrome single. Is that not correct?

It was definately used in the press releases for NTTC, as shown in the purple/black cuttings book.

That was the year in which we discussed Leonard Cohen´s Sisters of Mercy? It was a hit back then, I remember.
Only the Americans could have built a place like this in the middle of a jungle.

I'm one of the guilty ones that uses the standard theme. But after checking them all out I must say that IF I had to choose another one I would go with IGM as well :)
