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.

Trying to get hold of some material by this dodgy old Goff band. Can anyone help out?

It's not actually bad stuff at all. Although you can hear a lot of the usual influences the sound is pretty enticing...

Oooh! :D
That's not at all bad, not at all!

I don't have anything by them, but I'll see what I can track down. Thanks for sharing! 8)

They released a 2 track tape with a copy of the zine Naked Truth many moons ago and just another tape which had those 2 tracks on plus another 2, one of which is on Youtube. I saw them play the Astoria at some dodgy goth alldayer in 1996. Very good. I spoke to the singer (Riley) along with Matt (Ex-Vendemmian/Complicity) at either the Nephilim or m*****n gigs at the Shepherd Bush Empire, I can't remember which. The guitarist went to play in the Dream Disciples (i think). Any other dodgy 90s goth band questions anyone? :lol:

Bedlam Brian, Tim Riley, John Rowe or Gordon Young were the members - all on my friends list on FB Maisey - give them a shout - one of them must still have some stuff they'de be willing to part with. :wink:

Now I'm listening to Passion Play, having a 90s Goff relapse!

Their "name no names" ep was fantastic, the "stress fractures" cd had some realy good songs as well, the later one "dreaming spikes" was...ee..not very interesting...

A bit of a bump here, but I was just searching for info about this band. Bedlam Brian would be a good person to talk to, he's the DJ at the non-DM g0ff night up here. Actually saw him today, with his traffic warden crew, having a coffee in the union :lol:

I'll give him a shout next time I see him, and ask whether he has any stuff. ;)

That'd be good Korin. Gordon Young has the complete set but shows no sign of letting go of it - although a remastered unreleased live track is due to appear on the "Another Gift From Goth" compilation coming out in a few months.
