Call yourself a Goth? Better book some tickets then.
Specimen formed in Bristol, England in 1981 and the band opened the notorious and now iconic Batcave in London's sleazy Soho district in 1982, and invaded America dressed to kill in 1983.
2008 The original 1983 line up of Specimen reform for The Batcave Anniversary Tour. Touring the USA in June with Alien Sex Fiend ANDhosting the Batcave at London's Colosseum on July 11th with the 1984 original line up of Sex Gang Children headlining the debauched proceedings.
There will be 2 elements to The Batcave on July 11th. First off you have the only European date for the Batcave Club which is spread over 5 lavish themed rooms/zones. Co hosted by Olli Wisdom, Jon Klein and d.Void and Missy from Club AntiChrist.
This includes ALL night performers and cabaret. With additional art area's and installations, plus original Batcave props and new art by Jon Klein lavishly filling the entire venue. You must of course also expect LOTS of VERY special guests!!
You'll also have an ALL night 600 capacity Goth dance floor with headline DJ slots from original Batcave DJ Hamish along with the UK and Europe's finest Goth and alternative DJs.
Secondly you have a historic gig, with the original 1984 line up of Sex Gang Children Headlining and of course the Batcave would just not be the Batcave without Specimen, who have reformed with the full original '83 line up and this will be their ONLY European date. Tickets for the gig also include full access to the Batcave Club.
Doors for the gig open at 7pm and doors for the Batcave itself at 10pm, the venue will be open until 6am.
Tickets on sale now on our Myspace page at £20 for the gig and the club and £15 for just the club. These are special 'earlybird' prices!

As many of you know, After 10+ debauched and slightly crazed years of residence flywingedmonkey will be leaving the verdant building sites and rather soggy climes of our industrial heartland of England and making his way to the anonymity, personal danger and endless public transport of the big smoke.
To celebrate/commiserate this momentous occasion we will be putting on a bit of a do.
Saturday 12th April @ The Bristol Pear, Selly Oak
8pm - 12am
Then no doubt onwards to flywingedmonkey's from 12am ->

I have two DJing gigs for you to all come out to. Firstly will be my triumphant return to Malediction @ The Island Bar after a 12month absence. That's this Saturday 9th Feb. Gavin and Neal will be joining me in what is being billed as an oldschool-student-goth-cheese-fest. Come along, drink some cocktails and get down on the dance floor.
Secondly is the triumphant return of the fabulous Gothic Ball @ The Bartons Arms, which need no further introduction or blather from myself. This will be the Valentines Ball, 16th Feb.

Brain Dead Message board turns traitor, jumps ship to trendier social networking site....
If you're on Facebook, we now have a group. Which you may want to join as it makes it easier to be invited to events and see photos and see who else is going to a night.
Or if you read it from a different perspective, it's an even easier way for me to spam you, harass you by posting images of yourself you despise and an effortless excuse generating tool as you can see if that bitch who you absolutely /cannot/ be in the same room with is going or not. ;0p
It's here anyways: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6136768340
We are by the way now very excited having been to the Drop Dead Festival and plans are already afoot for next year.

Big love to all of you who braved the rain, the lure of Nu-Eddies and the constant flood of June birthdays and made it out to Monster A-Go-Go last night. Thanks, you rule.
It was a record attendance, the worst attended Saturday night we've ever run - we've seen more people out on a Wednesday at the old Stigmartyr. These things happen, and considering the great atmosphere and warm feeling of the first one we're going to assume it was just poor timing and move on.
