The BBC Celebrates all things Gothic | UPDATE2: Goth at the BBC airs this Halloween! | Watch Via BBC iPlayer

From Shelley to Siouxsie, the BBC are celebrating all things Gothic this fall.  In particular, BBC  4 will be airing a compilation of performances called Goth At The BBC exploring the ‘Goth’ style of British rock and pop in the 80s.

(Watch online via BBC iplayer here after the program airs)

This was a period of music in which dry ice, doomy lyrics and dyed black hair tortured skywards were only some of the constituent parts of this very British ‘tribe’ that flourished alongside Stock, Aitken and Waterman. BBC Four delves into the archives uncovering classic performances from Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, The Mission and many more.

Thanks Thomas Jones!

Goth At The BBC airs on BBC Four on Friday,  October 31st at 10.00pm to 11.00pm

Watch online here via BBC iPlayer
