Nearly four decades of sobriety and using your platform to lift up a recovery festival — that's real scene solidarity. The goth community showing up for each other like this is everything.

Lol's drumming style is the foundational blueprint for many of the drum grooves that the newer darkwave bands program in a DAW now. You could cite other percussionists like Budgie and Kevin Haskins too but Lol's style is copied for much of the dance-oriented stuff. I should know because I've done it myself. He deserves way more credit for his contributions to the wider post-punk and goth culture.
