This'll cheer you up... It's World Goth Day!

[Cat Burrito]

 I know there's a few of us on here, both past and present. Here's a few classics from back in the day  that conquer up memories of me high-jacking the car stereo on family holidays.

Plenty of great new bands around now. Shameless plug for my own band who also release a single this Friday.

 

 

 

Promo for New SIngle!

I love goths...

 

My instagram is almost all goth makeup tutorials!

 

I would love my daughter to be a goth, but she went full sporto instead.

This just reminded me, my wife was in a Fields Of The Nephilim video. She reckons she can’t remember which one it was so I’m going to trawl through YouTube later to see if I can find her all gothed up 😂

I detect a certain sense of irony in the title of this post.

The latest album of Cradle of Filth should get me through the day.

Ha, there was a related billboard ad from around the same time with the strapline "cheer up goth, have an Irn Bru" which is a favourite of mine 😅

That reminds me of the film of the boy scouts eating their packed lunches on a rollercoaster, on the show presented by the jingly-jangly tracksuit wearer, who shall not be named.

It’s amazing how enduring goth has become. I was in Leeds the other day and there was a goth girl, immaculately turned out in all her dark finery. She would be late teens/early twenties and my first thought was, crikey, it’s around 40 years since this look first took hold and her mother could have looked just like that.

I don't have any music vids unfortunately, but did find some pics on an old laptop, here's me in the full drag playing at some gig somewhere, we did some photos in the old nunhead cemetery, which was fun, no really it was...

Well, @Waddo Soqable, seeing as you've show us yours....

 

I was eighteen when this photo was taken.  Not much has changed apart from being older, fatter and more weatherbeaten.

Actually, @Waddo Soqable, did you used to to to Slimelight, years ago?

I went quite a bit between '97 and 2001 - I wonder if we crossed paths?

[Lozz196]

I used to go there late 80s

Bound to have done I expect, prob in the girls bogs, where everyone ended up at some point ! 😁

Last time I went was prob circa 2009 ?  In fact I believe it was to play a gig there as hazy memory serves..

Is it just me, or does this say Michael Jackson to you?

Been finding myself getting drawn into a lot of old (and not-so-old) goth stuff again recently. Recently rediscovered VNV Nation, Assemblage 23 and Wolfsheim, caught up with The Eden House, and have been listening to some of the old Peter Murphy stuff too (call me a bad goth, but I found most of the Bauhaus stuff almost unlistenable - his solo stuff is much better!). 

 

My wife used to be a major goth in her youth, and was a member of a "vampire court", where they all wore fangs and specially designed ankhs, arranged themselves into feudal houses, and got together in dark clubs to listen to goth music. One of her old vampire friends died recently, and we went along to the memorial, which was basically a goth club, but in the daytime.  

 

BigRedX and Cat Burrito - I'll be listening to more of your stuff later!

What a ridiculous accusation, sir!

 

(Yes, more than likely)
