Interview with John Robb, The Art of Darkness: The History of Goth
I interviewed the legendary English music Journalist, author, environmental activist and founding member for the perennial post-punk band The Membranes John Robb.
When John is not touring with his band (they recently toured in Europe with The Stranglers, The Chameleons and Fields Of The Nephilim), he\u2019s presenting, moderating or writing for his popular UK music site Louder Than War. John has previously written the best-selling books \u201cPunk Rock : An Oral History\u201d and \u201cThe North Will Rise Again : Manchester Music City 1976-1996\u201d. His latest opus is the 650-page \u201cThe Art Of Darkness : The History of Goth\u201d, an in-depth account that he feels presents the first major and comprehensive overview of Goth music and culture and its lasting legacy.\xa0
The book is built mainly around the 80s post-punk Goth period featuring interviews with Andrew Eldritch, Killing Joke, Bauhaus, The Cult, The Banshees, The Damned, Einst\xfcrzende Neubauten, Johnny Marr, Trent Reznor, Adam Ant, Laibach, The Cure, Nick Cave and many others. \u2026it looks at the music, style and the political and social conditions that spawned the culture and the great music, fashions and attitudes - clubs that defined it, and is also a first-hand account of being there at some of the legendary gigs and clubs that made the scene happen.\xa0 Pre-order the book now via Bandcamp: https://bit.ly/3VMBsvh\xa0 \xa0
