Goth: Back to the Batcave
Jenny Valentish, Guitar, October 2005
"WE HATED BEING called goth," muses the impeccably suave Flesh For Lulu frontman Nick Marsh. "If they called you a goth then you couldn't be taken seriously." He takes a swig of Guinness and delivers the immortal line: "But now I actually look for myself in all the books about goth and think 'How come we're not in it?'"
