Thankyou for coming to the talk on the book, 20th of August at Kalabalik festival. 

In case you haven’t heard of this great synth festival in Sweden yet; you should go there and the synth lovers among us need to do anything in our power to make a next edition happen again. Festivals and our entire scene don’t just occur, but exist by the sake of visitors from all over Europe (and outside!). Kalabalik is together with Grauzone Festival (Netherlands), Waveteef Festival (Belgium), Gothic Pogo Festival (Germany) and Return to the Batcave Festival (Poland) really one of the European places you need to be if you like postpunk/minimal synth and goth. 

Back home, post-festival blues. One more box of books left. If anyone wants a copy (30 euros/35 dollars + shipping) please get in touch via nowthisisgothic@outlook.com

Hesitated to spend a post on it or not, but it have been a nice couple of years (5 years) that I ran this blog. My life has changed in such a way; there are numerous reasons as to why I stop blogging on this blog. I don’t really have time for it anymore, but next to this, I moved on, too, obviously. (not saying I stopped liking postpunk).

I also think I reached my initial goal with this blog:
* reveal and share more photos/examples of ‘80s postpunks and goths
* showing in what other ways you can dress as a goth - meaning a toned down leather jacket-look can be enough, or that colours work too, etc.

Still baffled by the over 11000 followers.
Saying that - you all take a good dig in the total of 1200 photos I posted on here! (The blog will stay online as an archive)

I hope that the book I did with Harriman - Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace:  A Worldwide Compendium of Postpunk and Goth in the 1980s - gives many a collection of photos that give more of an experience than online visuals and that it gives you a summary of the scene back in the days (summary -  I know that it is not a complete story. It is nearly impossible to tell the whole story of postpunk/goth of the '80s!). The book is still available, in case you don’t have one yet. 

As for the book  - I still sell this in person on events - I will anounce this here and on the facebook page, just like any other future projects that might be of interest. 

I can be reached by nowthisisgothic@outlook.com when neccessary.

Seeya.
