Yes, The Smiths paired with The Sisters doesn't make much sense but apparently Johnny Marr and Eldritch got along very well (see my post earlier in this thread). Lush is another one of my favorites and I have nearly everything by them.

Mark Burgess of The Chameleons has an autobiography out. I've just got to the bit where they play the York Festival in 1984:

'On arriving at the venue we pulled into the parking area, where the only other vehicle present was a shiny black van with heavily tinted that wouldn't have looked out of place in an episode of Scooby Doo. We drew alongside it and began gathering our bags and jackets, when the side of the black van slid open. In my imagination I heard a whoosh of air and saw a cloud of dry ice emerge from the interior, but instead a mad-haired, lanky figure, dressed completely from head to foot in black, emerged from the van and slowly encircled our bus. The door of the black van was still open and I could see that the interior had been carpeted in what looked like black sheepskin. As the shadowy figure continued his inspection, we remained in our seats and watched him. Having now completely circled the van, he approached the driver's side and Tony rolled down the window. "Nice van, man," said the figure.

"Thanks!", said Tony, grinning.

After a moments thought, the figure added: "It'd be better if it was black though," and walked off. That was our first and only encounter with Andrew Eldritch of The Sisters of Mercy.'

Flying Bat!

The credibility of this account can be questioned by his description of Andrew as 'lanky'. But it's a great book (at £17 for Kindle edition it should be). It's also very, very long (over 500 pages), so hats off to Mark, as typing out the above took me about 10 minutes and it's not even one page.
