Bookproject - wanted; goths & postpunks 1980-1990

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.

Hello!

We're looking for postpunks/goths/newwavers that would like to contribute to our book.
We're trying to make an essential (photo)book about the first ten years of goth.

What are we looking for
- people for interviews
but especially...
- Photos from back in the day!
- flyers, memorabilia, etc

Hope you can help us!

I am not the one you're looking for. :|

- No goth (never have been either)
- No postpunker or new waver either

I do love the Sisters though! ;D

I think the Sisters would have accepted post-punk.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

We're just looking for people who went to see postpunk bands, clubs with such music, etc.

to get an idea.

I prefer the name ''postpunk'' myself really. Though some didn't really look ''postpunk'' after a while - the whole darker look, etc - then goth seems to cover it a little better as if drifted away from punk / postpunk looks. (as for the music too!)

For instance: I'd love to include The Sisters of Mercy jacket art-work. I've seen some really good ones on this board.
