Goth + Industrial – Gay in the CLE

Christian Death and the Birth of Deathrock: A Music Revolution

... a voice that was a mix of somewhere between Alice Cooper and Donovan Leitch could transport me back to my younger self...

Over the years, we have seen so many bands come and go that we often forget the godfathers of American industrial music.

Let's rewind the clock and crank up the neon for a trip down memory lane!

More than just a collection of songs on a plastic cassette

As I have aged, my music tastes have become much more varied than where they started.

The truth is, until about two years ago I had probably only been to a total of four concerts- in my WHOLE LIFE!!

Did you know that within industrial music, there are many subgenres that offer unique and diverse sounds?

If I had to answer “What makes a concert great,” I would say the number one answer is the energy of the performer.

In 1972 Billy Bass, WMMS program director, coined the phrase "Cleveland - The Rock 'n' Roll Capital of the World."

The name "industrial" was coined by the band Throbbing Gristle, who used the term to describe their music's harsh and mechanical sound.
