The Sisters Of Mercy in Riga

On Wednesday, Aug. 3, at the Palladium concert hall in Riga, Latvia, the gothic rock legend Sisters of Mercy will perform! The concert is organised by Live Fest.
The band was created in 1977 in Leeds (UK) when Andrew Eldritch and Gary Marx met, but Eldritch with drum machine Doktor Avalanche (his companion since 1981) have been the only substantive members of The Sisters Of Mercy for all these years. Of course, it is not really right to call the drum machine a band member, but actually Doktor Avalanche’s programmed drum rhythms combined with Eldritch’s deep baritone create The Sisters of Mercy sound. However, nowadays the drum machine has been replaced with three MacBook Pro computers. At concerts Eldritch is assisted by two guitarists, Ben Christo and Chris Catalyst.
