GOTHUMENTARY UPDATE

LAST DAY AT WHITBY Yesterday I interviewed Jo Hampshire about the origins behind of #whitbygothweekend

🖤 WHO ARE YOUR FAVOURITE MODERN GOTH ARTISTS FROM 2010 TO 2026? 🦇 Share the musicians keeping the scene alive right now, the ones sounding like classic bands and the ones pushing boundaries, reinventing the sound, but still keeping that dark element of what makes a goth song goth.

Goth Isn't Dead, You're Just Not Paying Attention As you know, I was interviewed by the YEP. youtube.com/shorts/IMQ7j...

HELP ME BUILD THE DOCUMENTARY WITH YOUR SECONDWAVE CHOICES 🎬 Okay, so who were your favourite second-wave goth bands from 1990 to 2010? #GothDocumentary #GothMusic #filmmaking #Goth #Gothumentary #IndependentFilm #ItsNotEasyBeingStrange

🦇 THE BBC🦇 Yesterday I had was live on BBC Radio Leeds with Gayle Lofthouse. We talked about my music, & my film, It's Not Easy Being Strange: Goth Music & Culture. To hear our chat search BBC Sounds - Gayle Lofthouse #Goth #BBC #RadioInterview #GothCulture #Documentary #filmmaking #IndependentFilm

ANNIHILATE EXTERMINATE DESTROY So today I’m at the BBC. I’m trying to keep a low profile so the “security” don’t interrogate me. #bbc #radio

Support this independent goth film.

🦇 GIVE ME YOUR TOP 1980s BANDS🦇 I'm currently planning interviews for the upcoming documentary I’ll speak to musicians who helped shape the goth scene. Which bands or artists were truly instrumental or didn’t get the recognition they deserved #Goth #documentary #filmmaking

🕯️ WHO GETS TO TELL GOTH’S STORY? 🕯️ Taken from the Yorkshire Evening Post interview. Most people think of goth as a 1980s relic, but you joined around 2000. Why was it so important for you to document the 'unrecorded' years of the 90s and 21st century? See our other socials for more...

WE RETURN TO THE STAGE IN JUNE Our next show is at Darker Days Festival in June. Head over, grab a ticket, and we will see you then. #goth #darkwave #festival

Thank you to everyone who tuned in yesterday to hear me talk to the fabulous Neil Currie on TransRadioUK. If you missed it, you can hear it on Mixcloud. www.mixcloud.com/nei.../neils...

ON AIR TOMORROW 🦇 Catch me on Trans Radio UK tomorrow morning talking to Neil Currie. #goth #music #filmmaking

Here is Q2 from my interview with the YEP. You mentioned being tired of 'outsiders' telling the goth story. What is the biggest misconception about the scene that you’re hoping this film will finally put to bed? See our other socials for the full answer.

🖤 WE DID IT… IN 7 DAYS 🖤 We hit the Kickstarter target. Thank you to every single one of you who believed in this film, shared it, backed it, and sent kind words. Kickstarter is all-or-nothing. If I’d been even £1 short, the entire campaign would have failed....

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY 🎂 🎁❤️ Thank you to everyone for your cards and gifts. If you would like to get me a gift head over to Kickstarter and donate to Its Not Easy Being Strange: Goth Music & Culture.

🖤 DAY TWO🖤 Thank you to everyone who has donated images to my then unamed project a few weeks ago. You can see them on my website. Link in the comments or scan the QR code in the video. #Goth #GothMusic #ZeitgeistZero #Kickstarter #GothCommunity #PostPunk #Darkwave

❤️A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS🎬 So the Kickstarter for my goth documentary, or gothumentary as it's been shortened to, is now live. #Goth #Kickstarter #IndependentFilm #filmmaking www.kickstarter.com/projects/mag...

RESISTANZ FINAL DAY My very first Resistanz Festival was pretty good fun. Great music and great company.

RESISTANZ DAY It’s was great to see Karkasaurus T-Rex letting the beat control its body. #dancingdino #Resistanz

RESISTANZ DAY ONE It’s so nice to have a break from work and watch some awesome bands Resistanz Festival That’s us having an emergency Babybel at 2am. Never underestimate the power of cheese. 🧀

Enroute to Sheffield with @nointsave for @resistanz_festival Looking forward to seeing the bands & @bunker13clubnight Djing

FAILURE TO LAUNCH Today has been a bit of a nightmare with my Kickstarter for my film. However my lovely friend Peter brought me an Easter Egg which cheered me up. I’ll save it until I get back from Resistanz Festival on Monday. Who knows my crowdfunding campaign might be up and running by then.

EDITING MONDAY Today I'm editing my Kickstarter video for my goth documentary. Hopefully it'll be ready for tomorrow. I've got lots of coffee to power me through to the evening.😳 G H Edsall Photography

📕BETWEEN THE GUTTER AND THE GLITTER📕 Here’s what I'm reading Vainglorious: A Punk in the House by Stevie Hulme Living life somewhere between the gutter and the glitter. #goth #punk #gothbooks #darkinspiration #readinglist #postpunk #gothlife #zeitgeistzero

GOTH NEWS🖤 SO... today I’ve woken up to find myself featured as a top story in the Yorkshire Evening Post. As a few of you have noticed, I've not been as active on Zeitgeist Zero's but I'll explain more next week. www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/whats-on/lee...

BASS ACTION I think it's about time we had an Ian picture. The man who gives excellent bass info, such as "Tune your bass guitar every 6 months, whether it needs it or not." 🤣 Follow for more useless bass tips.

INFEST 2026 - ARTIST SPOTLIGHT -OWLS O₩LS is a macabre synthpunk artist from Longford, Ireland, whose work draws heavily on the shadowed corners of post-punk and goth. OWLS WILL PERFORM FOR US IN AUGUST. #Industrial #EBM #synthpop #darkwave #noise #postpunk #LiveMusic #Concert #Festival

OKAY, HEAR ME OUT I love this photo of us by G H Edsall Photography. It looks like I'm trying to convince the band to do something, and they're looking at the camera to ask, “Did she really just say that?” So the question is… What do you think I’ve just suggested? Wrong answers encouraged. 🕸️

INFEST 2026: DJ ANNOUNCEMENT – DJ R-LEX THE ROBOT GET YOUR TICKETS! #Industrial #EBM #synthpop #darkwave #noise #postpunk #LiveMusic #Concert #Festival

🦇 TELL ME YOU'RE A GOTH WITHOUT TELLING ME YOU'RE A GOTH 🦇 I'll go first, here's mine. You can tell the coffin isn't mine, though, as it's not painted black. 🤣 Hope your week is getting off to a good start. Photography @darkdevotionimages & Make-up by @oliviateasdalecreative Teresa😍 #goth

TUESDAY GOTH ENERGY I love this photo of Corin Zero haunting the frame like a curious Victorian ghost. Taken by the fabulous @ghedsallphoto Don't forget, if you want to see a video of us looking even more Edwardian, then enter the medium's parlour for a Seance via our spiritual portal, YouTube.

LAST MONDAY OF FEBRUARY 🌒 The cold is loosening its grip, and it’s starting to feel suspiciously like spring. Whoohoo This photo was taken in Whitby a few years ago, getting ready with my Bunker 13 family. Bunker is this coming Saturday at Eiger Studios in Leeds, so get your dancing shoes on.🖤
