Revision as of 16:10, 19 June 2015
The band name The Sisterhood was used by two bands. The first were Wayne Hussey, Craig Adams and their colleagues,
who later had to give it up and went on as The Mission).
In order to stop Hussey getting hold of the name for his band, Andrew Eldritch also put a band together under The Sisterhood name.
His version of The Sisterhood released one single, Giving Ground, on 20 January 1986, the very day that Hussey's/Adam's band had
their live debut at one of the regular Alice In Wonderland Monday nights in London.
Still, there are regular discussions among the fanbase about events and proceedings around The Sisterhood, for example here.
After the Giving Ground single, The Sisterhood (under Eldritch) released their one and only album Gift.
The according company was finally dissolved in 1991, see this link.
The Sisterhood's releases were written and produced by Andrew Eldritch (and co-produced by Lucas Fox.
For contractual reasons Andrew Eldritch was not allowed to sing or play in these releases, as Warner still held him under contract.
It was commonly believed (and announced so in the press) that James Ray sang/spoke all of the lyrics, until Ray denied singing
on The Sisterhood's version of Colours, in an interview with the Heartland fan-site here.
Ray confirmed as well in another interview that it was Lucas Fox doing the vocals for Rain From Heaven.
