Initially known as The Sisterhood, the band was started
by frontman Wayne Hussey and bassist CraigAdams (both from the Sisters of Mercy), soon adding drummer Mick
Brown (Red Lorry Yellow Lorry) and guitarist Simon Hinkler (Artery and Pulp). Aside
from Hussey, the line-up has changed several times during the years and the
band has been on hiatus twice.
Initially known as The Sisterhood, the
band were forced to change their name after Andrew Eldritch claimed
it. After some deliberation, The Mission was chosen, referring to the proselytising
mission that was part of Hussey's Mormon upbringing. Mick
Brown has a different account, saying the name came from his favourite brand of
speakers, Mission.[27] When the
band planned to tour the USA in 1987, it was found that a Philadelphia R&B
band had already claimed it and thus the band were known as The Mission UK since.[28]
Throughout their existence, the band
have used aliases to play smaller gigs, currently going under the banner of
"Blood Brothers". In the period 1989-1990 they formed a glam rock cover band, the Metal Gurus, and released a
number of singles.»
