Agreed - Joke gigs 85/86 had a lot of goths in the audience.

Yes I agree, Jim. Killing Joke aren't a goth band but there's clearly
n overlap with some of their material and nothing wrong with that. A
ark, brooding single about death with blood in the title taken from
n album called "Night Time" would obviously be of interest to anyone
nto that genre. That doens't mean the band itself and everything they
o is forever lumped in that category. The Guardian playlist is a good
it of publicity that may well lead others like you to discover their
iversity.

Well, there's an awful lot of overlapping between post-punk and what would
later be called goth. And Night Time as a whole served as an excellent entry
point from goth into Killing Joke. After listening to LLB and Night Time for
the first time, I very much thought they were a goth band. After exploring
further, I realized they were a lot more. But it helped to turn a goth into
a diehard KJ fanatic, which is hardly a bad thing, and I doubt I'm the only
one.
Jim.
