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!
Feel free to e-mail: postpunkproject@gmail.com

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.

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.
