Playing “Fascination Street” by The Cure on bass - one of the most hypnotic lines in alternative music. If you’re into post-punk, goth rock, 80s/90s alternative, tone inspo, bass covers; you just found your corner of the internet. Oh, I am also in an outlaw country girl band inspired by all of the above ⬆️ What Cure song should I do next? #thecure #fascinationstreet #postpunk #postpunkmusic #altrock #basscover #bassist #womeninmusic #bassguitar #newwave

The Sisters of Mercy – “This Corrosion” (1987) ⚡🕯️ Un himno gótico de los 80, cargado de teatralidad y atmósfera oscura. Lanzado como sencillo principal del álbum Floodland, se convirtió en el mayor éxito comercial de la banda y en una pieza clave del rock alternativo de la época. 🎹 El origen - Publicado en septiembre de 1987 como parte del segundo álbum de estudio Floodland. - Escrita por Andrew Eldritch, líder de la banda, con producción de Jim Steinman (conocido por su trabajo con Meat Loaf). - La canción destaca por su duración épica (casi 11 minutos en la versión álbum) y su uso de coros masivos que le dan un aire apocalíptico. ⚡ La ruptura - Alcanzó el puesto #7 en el UK Singles Chart, convirtiéndose en el mayor éxito de The Sisters of Mercy. - Su estilo mezcla gothic rock, post-punk y producción grandilocuente, con un sonido monumental y dramático. - La letra, cargada de ironía y crítica, refleja el desencanto y la decadencia, elementos centrales en la estética gótica. 🌌 Impacto cultural - “This Corrosion” es considerado un clásico del goth rock, influyendo en bandas posteriores dentro del género alternativo. - Su producción excesiva y teatral lo convirtió en un referente de cómo el gótico podía dialogar con lo épico y lo comercial. - El videoclip, con imágenes sombrías y simbólicas, reforzó la estética oscura que definía a la banda. ✨ Resonancia Hoy “This Corrosion” sigue siendo un himno de la cultura gótica, un tema que combina crítica social, atmósfera ritual y un sonido monumental. Una canción que encapsula la intensidad y el dramatismo de los 80. 🖤

🕯️ Happy New Year to all creatures of the night. As this year fades into shadow, we want to stop for a moment and say Thank You — from the deepest parts of our undead hearts. 2025 has been unreal. After more than 25 years of carrying these songs in the dark, we finally released them into the world — and the love, feedback and support You gave us went far beyond anything we imagined. What makes this even more surreal: we are scattered across half the globe. Nick moves between Copenhagen and Germany. Lilith drifts between New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Jett now calls Spain home. Johnny lives somewhere between London and Dubai. Different cities. Different lives. Different time zones. But whenever we meet at our producer Micha P.’s place, it still feels like the same ritual — working on our very own blend of Goth Rock, Psychobilly, Dark & Cold Wave, laughing, creating, arguing, and letting the shadows speak. Will we play live again one day? We hope so. Distance and everyday life make it difficult — but vampires are patient. To all fans, supporters, friends, silent listeners and of course to all vampires worldwide: thank You for walking this path with us. May the new year bring You darkness with meaning, music with soul, and nights worth remembering. All the best for the coming year 🖤 Nick Graves Lilith Sinclair Jett Vandal Johnny Bones aka THE VAMPIRES OF KOPENHAGEN

Less than a week ago, on 8 March, my Human/Numan idol, Gary Numan, he turned 66. Regarded as one of the founding fathers of synthpop, Numan has influenced countless artists with his constantly evolving form of dystopian electronic rock music since the late 1970s. Establishing a lonely, android-like persona, he rose to fame leading Tubeway Army, a pioneering new wave band whose second album, 1979's 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘴, became the first of Numan's three consecutive gold-selling, chart-topping full-lengths in the U.K. The same year's 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦, his first solo effort, included the perennial favourite "Cars", which remains his biggest worldwide hit. He continued refining his sound, incorporating elements of jazz and funk into more sophisticated efforts like 1982's 𝘐, 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯, and remained a consistent presence in the U.K. charts throughout the following decades. Numan's impact continued to make itself felt; his dark, paranoid vision, theatrically icy alien persona, and clinical, robotic sound were echoed strongly in the work of many goth rock and (especially) industrial artists to come. Kim Wilde, Roland Orzabal (Tears for Fears), Afrika Bambaataa, Fear Factory, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Damon Albarn (Blur), were among the artists who cited Numan as a major influence. The video here via The MadFranko008/YouTube, Gary Numan with his band Tubeway Army performing "Are 'Friends' Electric?" on the Dutch TV show Top Pop, late 1979. "Are 'Friends' Electric" garnered him significant public recognition. With its distinctive, moody synthesizer riff and a futuristic robotic sound, the song's success paved the way for Numan's subsequent solo career and his further exploration into electronic music. So, us Numanoids would like to know, where did you celebrate your paranoid-android birthday? In the cars, down in the park? #GaryNuman #AreFriendsElectric #RocknrollSocmedtelling
