Ahh my favourite group's best era falls within these years. The Cure. I spent my teens going around dressed as robert smith at school.
mascara?......nail polish? was it a girls school..lolMasacara black eyeliner, red lips, black backcombed hair. I even did the full cross-dressing bit sometimes using bandages. Weird.
Oh, FFS, I've got things to do today and now I'm sifting though vinyl.....
This is a blast from the past.

Lagartija Nick was actually my favourite Bauhaus track IN the 80s. I've only switched to In the Flat Field in recent years. Thanks for the link to that video though; I'd never seen that.

Winston Bazoomies, the guitarist, came on first with the band and led them through an instrumental...then they started the second song and Buster came on. We didn't know what had hit us!!!
Ah, The Only Ones.
Great band, purveyors of THE single of the times. Sadly badly covered by Blink and 'advert'-ised (although that has brought it to the uneducated masses.
)
It's a shame that The Vibrators original from whence the riff was stolen doesn't at least get some mention......

"Dance to the music..."
I may HAVE to drive to Ipswich to see Stiff Little Fingers tonight at this rate!

Mid 80's was my psychobilly era! Guanabatz, Frenzy, Demented Are Go, Long Tall Texans, Restless, Highliners, King Kurt. Most Saturday nights at the Klubfoot (Clarendon) in Hammersmith with my enormous hairspray-solid bleached white quiff! Cool!... at the time!
Still listening to psychobilly in my car every day!

Bing! Well remembered. Hammersmith Clarendon. Saw Zodiac Mindwarp, GBOA, Poppies etc there. That's where the 'beer over Clint' incident occured. So many of those pub venues seem to have disappeared (unless they have just moved elsewhere). Health & Safety rules? Remember the Greyhound in (erm....) Fulham Palace Road?Still listening to psychobilly in my car every day!
Did anyone use to frequent the indie night on Sundays at the gay club 'Heaven', under the Arches at Charing Cross station? Some promoter had hired the place to put on all of the top 'names' at the time - probably 1985. (They have weird bogs in gay clubs - like peeing against a mirrored wall!)

im sure you mentioned the doors and the cult....
my favourite doors song...........
Excellent. Didn't the Doors do a tour with Astbury on vocals? So funny to see him looking 'normal' - have never seen him like that. Though he looks more like Lou Reed than Jim Morrsion!im sure you mentioned the doors and the cult....
my favourite doors song...........
Great linky though!

Sounds familiar...anyone else at Reading '78 for Sham??? 
Undertones x 6 Southampton/Poole/Bournemouth Winter Gardens
Clash & Siouxsie at Poole Arts Centre
Adam & the Ants (first album time) Bournemouth
Selector/Specials/Beat Two Tone gig in Bournemouth - can't rememeber what it was called but there was a roller disco there sometimes.
Skids - Winter Gardens
Buzzcocks - Winter Gardens (Joy Division)
Generation X - Bournemouth
XTC - Poole Arts Centre
To name a few.... we used to go to Poole Arts Centre discos (with the suspended floor) and moved on to the Third Side in the Triangle in Bournemouth when we could finally get in... Paul Presland had a shop in the Triangle selling Rockabilly/Psychobilly/Goth clothing. Weridly I ran into him last year on his (substantial) boat when a few of us moored overnight at the Beer Festival. I thanked him for selling me clothes that made me look like the biggest t
