Golgotha is perhaps Melbourne’s longest surviving irregular gothclub. Due to its infrequent nature, it also happens to be one of the ones that people make something of an effort to go to, and many of the older people on the Melbourne gawth scene that one would assume have simply disappeared often surface there. It’s like a flotsam grounding point for black PVC, cocktail specials and Robert Smith’s hair. (more…)

Having gone to Golgotha last night, it occurs to me that a lot of promoters really… well… can’t.

Promote that is.

I’ve decided that as I endeavour to make GothClub.com.au more of a site that is of actual use to the Australian gothic community, rather than something for the amusement and blitherings of myself & select friends, that I’ll be putting up a list of clubs that are on around the country, special events, etc., and a little bit of detail on everything that I can get. I was also hoping that a few people from interstate might even consider writing reviews for their local haunts and keeping me updated with events that are happening outside of Victoria

To that end, I decided to do some serious research on the national goth scene and found something that really flabbergasted me.

The majority of goth clubs are really poorly promoted. (more…)
