round that time, saw them open for The Stranglers in LA. The Palladium. I was a Stranglers fan, but moreso then The Lorries. Not long later RLYL, deep, hollow, played in Hollywood at another venue, some fresh band out of Cleveland named NIN opened. I still queue up The Lorries and The Stranglers.
I saw that same fresh band out of Cleveland (Mercer PA, actually) open for Skinny Puppy on the Cleanse Fold Manipulate tour in Pittsburgh in 1987. No one knew who they were, so nobody made a video of the show. A bit later, I'd heard that the singer used to be in Exotic Birds, who did have a hit on the New Wave station here ("No Communication").
your introduction is very nice except one thing, the word 'goth' didn't exist at the time, it is a late 90's invenction, we called our music Dark. it would be nice to use the correct definition in such a nice text. stay strong.
In Britain this music was called Gothic Punk. In the States it was called Death Rock. I knew some Brits so I called it Gothic Rock. I tried not to overindulge my sub-conscious with the word death.
Wrong. I was there. We did a show for NYC's Of A Mesh on our Pittsburgh campus in 1988, and we used the term "gothic rock" on the flyers. It was well established by then.
It's so sad that after 11 years there are only 17k views. Such a great, great band.
Great band

Is that a typo when you say 90s? I ask cos I got into it about 87/88 and it was 'goth' then and the use of the word goes back further than that.
@GG GG hmmm aye of course that'll be it, I don't ever remember it *not* being goth personally.
