Biography

his London-based post-punk/gothic band were briefly in vogue in the early 80s. They were built around vocalist Andi Sex Gang, who talked himself into support slots for which he needed quickly to assemble a new band. He eventually settled on Dave Roberts (bass), Terry McLeay (guitar) and Rob Stroud (drums), who played their first gig under the name Panic Button. The name Sex Gang Children was taken from a William Burroughs book and was actually on a list of names with which fellow King's Road fashion victim Boy George was toying. It later transpired that Boy George had in turn taken it from Malcolm McLaren's original suggestion for a moniker for the band that would become Bow Wow Wow. By 1982, a number of bands in the same mould began breaking through in the capital. Sex Gang Children's first vinyl release was a 12-inch titled "Beasts", produced by Nicky Garrett (ex-UK Subs), after which Tony James (Generation X, later Sigue Sigue Sputnik) began to take an interest in the band. Their most fondly remembered release, "Into The Abyss", closed 1982, with their debut vinyl long-player arriving early the next year. The single lifted from it, "Sebastiane", featured Jinni Hewes from Marc And The Mambas on violin. Andi then performed a debut with Marc Almond ("The Hungry Years') for the compilation The Whip, which also included a contribution from Roberts" other band, Car Crash International. Stroud left to join Pink And Black (featuring future All About Eve bass player Andy Cousins), and was replaced by Nigel Preston (d. 7 May 1992; ex-Theatre Of Hate). He stayed long enough to record the single "Mauritia Mayer", before he took part in a bizarre "drummers" swap with Ray Mondo of the Cult. Events took a further strange turn when the latter was deported back to Sierra Leone for passport irregularities after a US tour. Roberts also departed, leaving Andi and McLeay to recruit Cam Campbell (bass), and Kevin Matthews (drums). However, only one single, "Deiche", was released before the band disintegrated and Andi set out on a solo career, renaming his backing musicians the Quick Gas Gang. He released Blind! and Arco Valley, before reuniting with Roberts in 1992 to record a new studio album. He continued to lead Sex Gang Children throughout the decade and into the new millennium, releasing several new studio albums as well as pursuing a parallel solo career.

We happen to be the only fans of goth (outside of the greats like Bauhaus) on this site, besides Lakini, but he has not posted in a good while. So VampireArmand and I are generally the only two to haunt these boards... You are on all the same boards as us now. Maybe I am you too.	SyntheticxDreams

and lakini u no nothing of gr8 bands or singers now wat u going to do comment on my choice of music GO AHED LETS SEE U TRY AND PUT DOWN THE DADDY OF ALL MUSIC BLUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	paceme
Yeah. Thats why he DJs and you don't. Because he knows sooo little about music. You're the one that likes all the shitty pop-rock neo bands...	SyntheticxDreams
I've heard Fear Cult VampireArmand, but their songs don't stand out in my mind right now, I'll have to check my mp3s when I get home. If they don't stand out to me though, as a deathrock band, I probably won't care (unless they're really shitty). I'm really not huge on deathrock, most of the bands don't seem much above mediocre. (anyone willing to convince me otherwise though, is welcome)	SyntheticxDreams
i like loads of music and thats the only u can insult u can give and u all think u no loads about music.It really turns out that ure a bunch of big headed cocky fuckers who no about goth and other shitty 70s and early 80s music.	paceme
and do u think i care hes a dj ure all the same	paceme
I like 60s music too if it comes to that. And some 90's. But really, 90s pop was almost as bad as the 70s. I like some current bands too. And I know plenty about the shitty little bands you like, I go to metal shows all the time (not for the music of course). I just don't like them, I've seen much more tallent in other genres, and other genres suit me better. I'm not saying my music is the best, but at least I am informed on what is out there. What are you judging your tastes off of? How about get your ass off of your computer and check out a decent local scene. (Unless you live in some podunk, which in that case, I understand why you are the way you are and apologize)	SyntheticxDreams
synthetik i have tried everytype of music there is (or i can find) and i like metal simple as its a adrenlin rush u like ure music to be relaxing i like my music to be loud fast and not very freindly lol so y dont u stop wiv the one insult of idoit and call me something else i dare u goon do u ure worst ill propley laugh im laughing now hahehahebahahahahahaheheheheherahhahahahahaha haharahahabahabahabahabahabahabaha ahehehebehebehebehahhahahahatattttttttttttttt ttttthahahahahahaha	paceme
Sex Gang Children are brilliant.. did you say they are going on tour, too Synthetic? I know that Bauhaus is coming to a venue right near here, soon... and the ska is dead tour is going on, too.. It's like you said... everyone is touring, now.	xzar
They only have selected dates in California and DDF right now sadly, but hopefully it means that they will do more... As for Paceme..."u like ure music to be relaxing i like my music to be loud fast and not very freindly" I don't like my music relaxing. I don't mind friendly, but I prefer energetic, dramatic, dancable, inventive etc. And I prefer to have lyrics that make some sort of sense and aren't too incredibly stupid or cliche.	SyntheticxDreams
refering to the dramatic part now on the cradle of filth forum am i correct in saying you where one of the people who accused cof's nymphetamine of being overdramatic.I think that trumps your card. hehe i love that phrase	paceme
