My First Time at a "Goth" Club and The Height of Goth 1984 (no relation)

Written By Ben Walker-Storey

This is a short time-lapse drawing of a goth girl from Club Xclusive (UK early 80s) and a story about my first time at an “alternative” all ages club in the mid 80s.

If you have an hour and a half and want to see something amazing check out this video I was referencing for the drawing. The Height of Goth is a documentary(???) about Club Xclusive and the alternative, goth, bat-caver culture in a small suburban town in the UK. Clearly, there is nothing on the film-maker’s cutting room floor. Everything that was shot for this was included in the release, which makes it the truest form of documentary, perhaps?
