This was one hell of an extravaganza and a fantastic day.
Toni and I started our day with a trip to Soho to browse a few of the more lurid retail outlets for a giggle before heading off to our favourite Pizza Hut for our usual meal of a combo platter, nachos and Pepsi Max.
Toni and I on the tube:
The Gotham 9 line up:
Dyonisis:
Slow atmospheric style with lovely harmonic vocals. Shades of All About Eve from time to time. Not bad at all and this was only their second gig down amongst us scary southerners.
Razorblade Kisses:
I absolutely adore the image of this band. The whole Japanese visual kei style is wonderful. Toni thought that the girls couldn't sing and although you could deem this to be true it actually complimented the image in a bizarre way.
Novus UK:
Kind of dancey EBM light music. Nothing out of the ordinary although the singers wardrobe crisis was most amusing! The angle grinder made a fan visual (and had a lot of the poseurs running for it in fear of their hair!
Bloody Mary:
The singer had probably the best stage presence so far although the body armour just made him look like a transformer and the bondage tape on his fingers gave the impression of a limp Edward Scissorhands! Not great but entertaining.
Psyche:
Marc Almond style vocals over some sweet dancey tunes. Nothing special as far as the on stage image was concerned but great music and delivery.
Star Industry:
I love this band although they had to be seen as a big bunch of poseurs as they hit the stage in their sunglasses, having been setting up for ten minutes without them! Good music, Sisters style vocals with a heavy goth background. The cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy The Silence" was fantastic.
Gothminister:
What can I say. FUN FUN FUN. Great stage presence, very theatrical and didn't take themselves seriously at all. A great way to end the show!
See a full set of photos (there are LOTS) on my Picasa web albums:

Carrying on from my PT theme there were a couple of "what not to wear" types there (didn't take photos of all of them)
Nice top but ditch the black bra and the bag my dear!:
Balloons aren't aren't goth and they get in the way of people behind you!:
Berets are NEVER good!:
I don't care if you are the singer of a band, your pants suck!:
