Andrew Eldritch

Andrew Eldritch (born Andrew William Harvey Taylor, May 15, 1959) is the frontman, singer, songwriter and the only remaining original member of The Sisters of Mercy, a band that emerged from the British post punk scene and, in later years, also flirted with pop and heavy metal. He also programs The Sisters of Mercy's drum-machine tracks and plays guitars and keyboards in its studio recordings. He has also established the record label Merciful Release. In addition to The Sisters of Mercy, in 1986 Andrew Eldritch established a side-project Sisterhood, which was shortly abandoned in favour of continuing working under The Sisters of Mercy banner.

Recent career

Now in semi-retirement from his musical career — The Sisters of Mercy tour every so often, with six scheduled concerts across continental Europe in August 2005, ending with the M'era Luna Festival in Germany http://www.thesistersofmercy.com/news/livenews.htm), but no new recorded material has been released for sale since 1993 http://www.thesistersofmercy.com/gen/discog.htm. Despite this, the band continue to debut new material on stage on a semi-annual basis.
