Summer of Sisters of Puppy
The Summer of Sisters may be the Summer of Puppy as well. Scored a ticket to see Skinny Puppy in San Francisco on the 28th the other day. The before I got to update the calendar, they just announced another show the night before. So TWO Skinny Puppy shows, back to back! Also, a little birdie tells me that there may be a third!
That would make five Sisters of Mercy shows and five Skinny Puppy shows this year. Summer of Sisters of Puppy?
