Near Meth Experience
Near Meth Experience are a Leeds-based Sisters cover-band who sometimes play shortly before the start of a Sisters of Mercy tour, when The Sisters are on a day out.
Most recently, they played - for the first time outside Leeds - a free gig at TRIX in Antwerp, Belgium in preparation of the 2019 Autumn Club Tour. On that occasion, three new songs were introduced: Kickline, Show Me On The Doll and Better Reptile.

Any resemblance with the real band is - of course - purely coincidental, just like with that other band, the Speed Kings.
Audience recordings from the 1997 and 2005 gigs exist and are in circulation among the fanbase.
For the 1996 gig, there is rumoured to be a recording, but this is questionable.
