It's like the 90's never happened...

Planning to go to rockworld last night, the wench & I happened to walk past this place and decided to give it a go.

I swear, it's like the 90's never happened. Anyone who ever went downstairs at the Old Banshee before it fell down will know what I mean; it was chock-a-goth - at least three girls in long dresses and top hats. Neil Gaiman would be proud, I'm sure. And the rest of the dress code seemed to be 'Classic goth' (with only a little cyber in there) and a playlist of 80's and modern cyber.
I'll be going back.

Rhona: You'd love this place. you really ought to come up to Manchester one weekend (2nd & 4th weekends of the month).

Which incarnation? Old (Oxford road, which fell down), New (Piccadilly gardens), or Third (above the Swinging Sporran)?

I used to go to all three...

You wanna come out with us next time we go?

A lot more variety than EB's playlist which while not bad is getting a bit repetitive.

hmmm

don't really do old skool goth anymore, but I may go along at some point....

Have a look at their playlists (link in Dave's post). Icon of Coil, Covenant, Wolfsheim, Assemblage 23, Funker Vogt, Wumpscut, APB, VNV Nation...
Sounds pretty much like your kind of thing, I think ;o)

Been noticin' that 80s resurgence myself

Maybe it's just cyclical (I hope!)

Goth, what not - fine; but how about casting the gaze to the future once more? I'm very tired of all this rehash that's been rolling since 1997.
