High Empress of Dressing Up
i went to a neph gig for the fit blokes, too. but it was boring and i went and sat in the foyer cos my spiky gothette boots were hurting my feet.
i looked good, but i was far to cheerful and chatty to be a proper goth.

Anyone see The Neph at The Astoria last week? Feckin' ace!

No pasaran!
I used to know this lot: they lived in the same town as me. In fact, I can remember being in Brighton in the 80's and bumping into Vince, their roadie and he got me a comp. I remember thinking "I can't see the band because there's too much smoke/dry ice".

I once heckled FotN so persistently Carl McCoy pouted at me and moved about a foot towards the other side of the stage.
And I will hurt badly anyone I hear comparing God Machine to them.
It's taken me a while to post on this thread because I've been searching the web for that photo of them in a dressing room somewhere, about to go on stage, where you can just see on a table in the background a packet of Homepride.

I've only just seen this reply
I didn't kick the crap out of him, but it has always baffled me to this day.

It should be a specific offence in law punishable by custodial sentence. In fact if there's one crime for which we should bring back capital punishment.....

Didn't go cos' it weren't FOTN. More like Carl plus backing band.el_starkos said:Anyone see The Neph at The Astoria last week? Feckin' ace!

God Machine = one of the best bands ever. And a nicer bunch of blokes you couldn't hope to meet. Truly sensational live too - big sound for a trio.Dubversion said:i hope you kicked the crap out of them for that. NOBODY tells lies about The God Machine

I did used to really quite like the Nephilim. Never covered myself in flour though. But I did use them as a soundtrack to when I was reading Storm Constantine's latest oeuvre. The shame.

Nah, Eldritch wouldn't have had anything to do with Aleister Crowley (as the Nephs did). It'd have made his own attempts to look mysterious and dangerous seem tawdry.

I can't remember. I think it was a live one.

Yeah. Fucking tragic that their career was cut short by the bass player's death. AMazing sound. Wish I'd seen them live. My all time perfect gig would be to see the God Machine play live at some crumbling old roman amphitheatre, or at the pyramids.

They were all just Joy Division and Bauhaus lite.

FotN were nothing like Joy Division (Krautrock influences, nihilism, punk) or Bauhaus (art-rock, surrealism, glam, punk), "lite" or not.
FotN used the "Goth" vibe as a hook for their fascination with the occult, but neither their music or their lyrics resembled the bands you named in the slightest.
I say that as someone who saw Joy Division (only once unfortunately) live, and went to see Bauhaus , tSoM and FotN (as well as other "proto-Goth" bands) many times.

I recall these fuckers wearing cowboy gear (circa Clint Eastwood) spray on dust and a fondness for Carol's Liber Null & Psychonaut book.
How scary were they?
