Siiiii

Siiiii were born in early 1983 when singer Paul, then only 19, moved from his native East Anglia to Sheffield purely to be in the band, joining guitarist Mark, and bassist Ange. Taking their name from William Burroughs' "The Soft Machine" they gigged extensively during the early to mid 1980's and possibly hold the record for the amount of times they were nearly signed to record labels.

Now Nothing

Formed in spring 2005 by founding members Sylph(Vocals) and Dr Decay(Synths, programming and backing vocals), but nothing as such was done apart from a few programed tracks and discussions of direction which became ironically nothing... Sylph decided to quit due to lack of motivation and commitment in December 2007. In January 2008, Dr Decay took it upon himself to carry on the project initially with his brother and cousin which never became of anything.

Sex Gang Children

Sex Gang Children is an early group that formed in the early 1980s in Britain. They were a very dramatic band, relying on heavy bass, tribal drumming, sudden mood shifts, a woozy cabaret ready sound that influenced the rise of the later scene, and yet another in a long line of goth singers with an odd, highly dramatic voice. Although the group only released one official album, their singles and various other tracks have been packaged into numerous collections, and they remain one of the better known bands out of the early scene.
