I REMEMBER seeing The Mission at a packed London Show in the 80’s when they unveiled their new name after briefly being known as The Sisterhood.
It was a brilliant night and was the start of a period of international success for the band as one of the best goth rock bands in the world.
When I saw that they were touring this year with a night at Sub 89 I had to take the opportunity to see them again and I certainly wasn’t disappointed.
It was a packed, hot and sweaty sold out Sub 89 and following a great set from local psychobilly rockers, Go-Go Cult, The Mission took the stage.
Performing songs from throughout their career, they showed that they still have the power and the energy they always had and the atmosphere was incredible with crowd singalongs to their classics such as Wasteland, Deliverance and the song that closed their second encore, Tower of Strength.
A band still sounding as exciting today as they did in the 80’s!
