Gothpostpunkrevival

With rare-for-the-genre “Sold Out” notices posted weeks in advance (albeit in one of the city’s smallest venues), one of the most hotly anticipated goth gigs of the year brings media darlings Mouth Ulcers to town for their first show in Scotland’s capital.

 The dreich autumnal late September weather matches the mood as a small smattering of goths gather in Scotland’s capital at the end of a sad week for the genre, with the news of the sudden break-up of the UK’s best young goth act Social Youth Cult followed by that of the tragic death of Das Ich’s Bruno Kramm at the age of fifty-eight.
