The Goth-Father - Brighton Fringe
The Goth-Father
“Revenge is a dish best served GOTH”

Back-comb your hair, apply the purple lipstick and pull up your fishnet tights. Lads, brace yourselves for an evening of comic mayhem, as the most deluded man in rock returns to become the legend he knows he always should have been.

In 1983, Athos Dark created Gothic Rock with his band The Leeds 6, featuring future members of The Cure, The Cult, Sisters of Mercy and Bauhaus. Who all betrayed him.

Now, after 40 years in the wasteland, The Gothfather is back. And you are invited to the launch of The Leeds 6’s new greatest album: Exile.

With special guest bass player: Crow Maggie.
