A short-lived music project by Andrew Eldritch. It was formed in 1986 after conflicts within the band led to Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams leaving the band. Hussey and Adams had taken over the Sisters' roadcrew and equipment and announced their debut concert which they were going to play under the new name The Sisterhood. Eldritch: "They began to claim rights to [the Sisters name], which patently had to be stopped. And when they wanted to be called the Sisterhood, there was nothing I could do but be the Sisterhood before them – the only way to kill that name was to use it, then kill it." "Warners thought they could have two bands on the same label with pretty much the same name." – Quote from an interview in the music magazine Melody Maker. To secure the rights, Eldritch released the single Giving Ground under the same name first. Hussey and Adams renamed their new band to The Mission.
