THE BATCAVE – two exclusive books

THE BATCAVE remains the best known Goth club in the history of the genre, and here we have two huge photo books of classic images, of exciting bands, covering its original existence.

THE BATCAVE Volume 1 – £19.99
A 620 page photo book containing 818 images of happenings at The Batcave during 1983. You will find Alien Sex Fiend (three gigs), Ausgang, Danielle Dax (posed session), F1 Electric, Marc Almond, Pork Helmets, Sexbeat, Specimen (four gigs), along with the club itself, including staff, regulars, crowd and cabaret artistes/dancers.

THE BATCAVE Volume 2 - £19.99

A 572 page photo book containing 789 images of happenings during 1984/1985, featuring: Alien Sex Fiend, Anorexic Dread, Ausgang, Bone Orchard, Christian Death (Rozz Williams), Let’s Wreck Mother (post-Sexbeat), Pepperlip (featuring Jo Bones), Sexbeat (that’s Sophie on the cover), Specimen (two gigs), Tabatha’s Nightmare (Mark Tinley/Marcus Scott), Zero Le Creche and Zor Gabor (former Banshee guitarist John McKay), along with shots within the club of staff, crowd and regulars.

The vast majority of these photos are previously unpublished. Details on how to order prints of images included in rear of each book.

You need to register on the Lulu site to buy books which is easy. DO NOT use their express post, which costs far too much. If in the UK or US just use the normal inland service (not ‘express’), and if you are outside the UK or US stick with ‘economy’ which is simply their term for normal airmail. (If so inclined buy more than one book because the postage costs come down sharply. All books are very well packaged. If you are a business when you buy more than 10 books the cost of the actual books decreases too.)

THE BATCAVE Volume 2

A discussion in the newyorkers LJ community made me think of this:

Notice Me by New Model Army

I'll take any drug in the whole damn world
If you'll only notice me
Mainline poisons by the score
Please will you notice me
I'll break any law, hurt anybody
For God's sake notice me
Cut my wrists and slash my face
For Christ's sake notice me

Ch: - Whoever told him that it mattered
Who told him that anyone cared
He's got an overgrown sense of his own importance
No-one's really bothered around here
He was such a quiet boy
Never any trouble before, never any trouble before

I'll drink anybody into the ground
If you'll only notice me
I'll kick the teeth out of anyone here
Come on and notice me
I'll wear the clothes and cut my hair
Please will you notice me
I'll be a pop star and I'll stand on stage
For God's sake notice me

I'll get a big car and drive like a maniac
Please notice me
I'll make a lot of money and tread on you
If you'll only notice me
I'll tell you any lies you want to hear
For God's sake notice me
I'll kill myself while you are watching
For Christ's sake notice me

- Friday 26 June 2009 -
The WORT UND KLANG Festival featuring three great German goth bands live:
- GOLDEN APES ( http://www.myspace.com/GoldenApes )
- NEON DREAM ( http://www.myspace.com/redlightanodyne )
- THE COLD ( http://www.myspace.com/TheColdspace )

...and Scary Lady Sarah spinning music before, in between & after the bands.

Also, gallery showing for the beautiful art of Christian Lebrecht (Golden Apes' bass player.)

at Kato, Im U-Bhf. Schlesisches Tor, 10997, Kreuzberg, Berlin

Could anyone suggest good industrial that isn't the poppy oontz oontz stuff. IE-actually SOUNDS kinda like a factory or other machinery type deal.

Thanks much!

one of the local clubs is putting on a "dark 80's" night where the dj plays videos from underground 80s bands, along with some newer "goth" videos. This is Atlanta, and no I am not holding my breath -- but the DJ is open to playing newer material from our neck of the woods. I went last Friday and it was pretty cool for what it was.

The trouble is I don't know who has videos available. Videos must be official, not youtube fan created content, and must be studio not live footage. I doubt he'll play any punk - but that is worth a try too. No charge for being played of course - this would be free exposure.

So - any bands out there have videos you'd like to have promoted at a goth night? Please contact me at adryastembridge@gmail.com if you have or know of .

Last reminder that this Sunday night you should all come out and catch one of the best post-punk bands around:
