To have a little Goth night in on my own..

I have just been reminded of how much 'me' some of that dark 80s Goth stuff is, and my friends are being boring. AIBU to get wine (not blue nun or Liebfraumilch sadly) and listen to only Cure, Mission, Nephilim, and Mary Chain all night???

I am here with my black cape I used to wear to clubs in London. And my black goth dress and tights (that I can no longer fit into)

Sadly in reality I had to throw away the cape after it got mouldy when I lived in a damp bedsit. I was gutted.

I used to be all Mish, not so much Sisters - completely flipped that in the last 10 years. There for anniversary gigs for both in 2011 and this year for Sisters - furious Mish are missing out Leeds - how???? So much a part of their history.

I'm so jealous that so many of you have met Wayne Envy

If DS had been a girl I might have called him Severena

Lanark is it too early for Crowds? Probably is, what about Kissme Kiss me Kiss Me by the Cure?

CockacidalManiac · 16/04/2016 00:11

My crimpers were ruined by hairspray, and my crimped hair by the damp Sheffield air.

ooh cross posts! Crowds is DARK

SignoraStronza · 16/04/2016 00:12

Just to dampen spirits though - last saw the Sisters in Milan 2006 and am sorry to say they were utterly shit. 😳Anyone know any future gigs to get me excited again -especially as we can just about leave dc3 for the night (Midlands/North)?

darksideofthemooncup · 16/04/2016 00:13

Or Banshees 92 Degrees..

Have we had Rosetta Stone yet? Or some NIN?

CockacidalManiac · 16/04/2016 00:14

I'm keeping it pretty softcore, now playing Tower of Strength.

Pericombobulations · 16/04/2016 00:14

Wayne Hussey is playing brum next friday or The Mission in Nottingham in October

Feenie · 16/04/2016 00:15

I never crimped - too much respect for my hair after wrecking it spectacularly with Sun In

Crowds is dark but too cooling..I think we need a really intense thing first...

CockacidalManiac · 16/04/2016 00:16

I'd love to crimp my hair again, damn this male pattern baldness

darksideofthemooncup · 16/04/2016 00:16

A little bit out there but if you want razory darkness then Elvis Costello I Want You soundtracked many a break up

Onykahonie · 16/04/2016 00:18

Feenie a good spray of hard rock hairspray was all the protection you needed.You had to scrape the excess off your crimpers once they'd gone cold.
