New Around These Parts

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Having watched a goth special on MTV last night I was interested to see what sites there were available on the net. I was delighted to soon discover The Skeletal Family site which eventally lead to Ghost Dance and finally to this forum.

Although now a married, (nearly) 40 year old with children I have never lost my affection for my Leeds/Bradford based college years and the music scene that surrounded it. I have lost count of the number of amazing bands I saw during those fantastic years, Ghost Dance, Skeletal Family, Southern Death Cult, Sisters of Mercy, March Violets, Bauhaus, Danse Society, The Hollow Men and Salvation to name but a few.

It's so interesting to discover that there is still a huge fanbase for this music and I also hear rumours that some of the bands are reforming. I will keep a keen eye on this site and this forum from now on.

So nice to find like minded people

Welcome from the other side of the planet - although I do have Yorkshire connections I prefer to keep that quiet.

Was put in touch with the Ghost Dance forum first then advised to check this place out. Have I committed some cardinal sin by joining both forums, the natives seem restless. As for the same message at both forums.. when you type as slowly as me you have to get maximum mileage from one message (although subtle editing was employed)

Happy Days
