GOT TEA?
Sunday is the final day of Infest 2017. As with a lot of people, I feel the absence of our Master of Ceremonies, Tails, who sadly passed away. We celebrate in his honour with tea, cake, and a bit of Charleston! May you all raise a mug in his memory. I hope he looked on with approval as we then proceeded to get merry and listen to plenty of EBM on this last night of bands.
Even Stormtroopers laugh at our aim!
Now I’m safely installed in the University Halls (cheap and cheerful, for £65 you basically get a room with a mattress for three days!) I can concentrate on the Infest experience. I signed up for a Laserquest match on Saturday because all the cyber stereotypes are quite true.
Some time ago the Cherry Red Records team approached me with a very generous offer – a very advance listen to Silhouettes and Statues, the magnum opus of goth: a five-disc über-compilation of the finest new-wave, post-punk and proto-goth tracks spanning the earliest era, 1978 – 1986.
