ultimate Goth anthems

ooo danse society

I haven't had my hair cut since the end of July; it's getting quite a decent length now.

Do you think crimpers & grey hair go together? no? ok, maybe not 😉 Can't go dying it black again, it would be rather obvious… and I'm supposed to be a grown-up now.

still, if the band takes off…

my hair was a black mohawk/topknot style with white badger stripes that was long enough to reach my belt. Now bald…..arse!

I still have my hair, but it's mostly grey now. I'm 44 FFS

then:

now:

(well, July actually, just after the last haircut)

just dye most of it black and leave some grey/white bits to look like dave vanian 😀

I also saw Flesh for Lulu supporting Sisters of Mercy, this was at Leeds Uni around 1984. In the Sisters set, the smoke machine completely engulfed the room and we never actually saw Sister of Mercy other than at the beginning and end, they sounded good tho.

Can I also recommend to those revisiting the music
The Three Johns – teenage nightingales to wax (single) – Atom drum bop (album)
Inca Babies – big jugular (single) – Rumble (album)

oh yeah, 3 Johns were ace. ADB was a superb album, I think I still have it on cassette somewhere.

Late entry:

Listen to Her Heart – Salvation

I reckon that might have been on the same tour

I still have the first SF single – Trees. Bought off Punky Pete in the White Horse Pub in Bingley in 1983, he was selling them out of a plastic carrier bag. We knew Stan well at the time, he was a regular in the White Horse and a really nice bloke. I last met up with Anne-Marie in the Busfield Arms in East Morton (nr Keighley) about 15 years ago. We had a bit of a fling for a while at that time, she had a butty shop/cafe in Keighley, she's a really nice girl. I missed their reunion gig in Bradford a few weeks ago, didn't hear about it until a few days afterwards.

vdubber if it was early whitby years then I'd have seen you, what bandything were you in? please do not say shadowmaker or nosferatu or I'll have to hunt you down and kill you with crimpers!

Not early years mate – I think it was 2005 to be honest. Band was called Neon Zoo. Not proper goth, more dance-y nonsense, but Mike from goth faves Manuskript was in the band.

We gigged on the 'scene' such as it is these days for about a year or so. I found it really weird as I haven't really been a 'goth' since about 1992!

I remember when all of this was fields…..of the nephilim… 🙂

lol, in the middle of a good old 'goth off'!!! brilliant!
nowadays i can't help thinking of the mighty boosh "this is the strongest hairspray known to man, made from the tears of robert smith"
red lorry yellow lorry-walking on your hands-ace!
