Goth: The Scene That Wouldn't Die at the British Library
Journalist David Quantick chairs a unique goth panel featuring singer and author Rosie Garland, vocalist Andi Sex Gang, music journalist John Robb and music journalist Natasha Scharf. Recorded at the British Library in London as part of their Cultures of the Dark Side event on Sunday, 9 November, 2014. Filmed and edited by C.E. Tuke. From the British Library's event listing: "It is now over 30 years since a definable Gothic rock scene exploded. Inspired by bands such Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Cramps and early 80s The Cure – it generated a vast, diverse and doom-laden world, characterised by the rock of The Sisters of Mercy, the more ethereal Cocteau Twins or industrial sounds of Nine Inch Nails or Marilyn Manson. Two of the most significant figures in the story - Andi Sex Gang (Sex Gang Children) and Rosie Garland (The March Violets) - plus music writers John Robb and Natasha Scharf, discuss what still makes Goth so enthralling. Chaired by David Quantick."
