Bauhaus released their first single, “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” ⚰️
What an amazing first release. Absolutely foundational to the “goth” genre of music. It was the first thing the band recorded together, only six weeks after the band had formed. And it was recorded in a single take too 🤯
I can’t recall where I first heard this, probably in junior high around ‘83, there were a few cool goths in my school, but I do recall being psyched for a song about one of my favorite “monster movie” actors. And Peter Murphy’s voice is unforgettable.
If there is a band that absolutely defines the queer goth witch energy, then it's Kælan Mikla. :gothsparkleheart:
I've seen them live in Prague last year but their gig got cut short due to technical issues :<
Buuut they are playing at WGT this month, so I hope to see them again :3
Today I felt like listening mainly to classic goth stuff, and it's hard to get any more classic than this (without going straight for Bela Lugosi's Dead) 🦇 :gothsparkleheart:
#goth#song of the day: Drab Majesty - 39 By Design
If I had to pick my favorite modern goth project, it would probably be Drab Maj - and when I consider it's amazing music video and how it approaches the rather heavy topic (Heaven's Gate cult), this is most likely my favorite song by them.
The entire Demonstration release is my favorite concept album of all time without question, worth listening from start to end.
High hopes that Andrew (or Deb Demure in this case) will deliver on the promise and they will play a gig in Katowice as they said to me when I met them in Warsaw :gothsparkleheart:
Aus einer der Nachbarwohnungen schallt wieder der laute Fernsehton in die Fledermaushöhle. Ab 22 Uhr hören meine Nachbarn dann das #GothDiscoInferno und ihr könnt es auch.
Released in April 1983, "She's in Parties" is a song by Bauhaus from their fourth studio album, "Burning from the Inside." It was the band's final single before their split in 1984. The track, written by Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J, and Kevin Haskins, reached No. 26 on the UK Singles Chart.

• Sisters of Mercy - Marian - Version
• Xmal Deutschland - Qual - 12" Remix
• The Cure - Charlotte Sometimes - Single 10/81
Gothic rock perfection! Dark, catchy, forward-mixed vocals, chorus-heavy guitars – #NoxNovacula would’ve been my favorite band back in the late ‘80s. 🖤
A friend of mine just told me the singer’s boyfriend is the original guitarist for #CrypticSlaughter, so make of that what you will. 😅
Siouxsie and the Banshees released their fifth album, “A Kiss in the Dreamhouse”
Kind of a change in sound on this one. Less post-punk and more psychedelic pop. Production quality is really good too.
It’s the last album to feature guitarist John McGeoch, who left the band after suffering a nervous breakdown due to the stresses of touring and his battle with alcoholism. He was replaced on the supporting tour by Robert Smith!
