The most violent chicken dancing I ever saw was at a Guana Batz gig in 1983. People were leaving their noses on the dancefloor.<BR/><BR/>Bauhaus at Brixton last year, by the way, was one of my Top Gigs of '06!Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480141481321177460.post-15003271678848717342007-04-13T23:06:00.000+01:002007-04-13T23:06:00.000+01:00You know ISBW, I think I can remember the delights...You know ISBW, I think I can remember the delights of the 'chicken dance'.<BR/><BR/>I was in the front stalls area of the Victoria Hall in Hanley at Bauhaus 'Burning from the Inside' tour (1983?). being equally amazed and bullied by elbows by a geezer chickendancing. You start with your fists together in front of your chest and then push out you arms so the your elbows go up to your shoulders, then move your arms back so your fists are back in front of your chest. All this should be completed whilst spinning jerkily. Not sure this was a real goth dance though, as the man doing it was dressed in white robes and had long pink hair.<BR/><BR/>When I said not dancing. I obviously used to shuffle through the first 40 minutes of 'Bela'. Waiting for the vocal or the invention of Prozac, whichever came first.Valentine Suicidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14158284655510301196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480141481321177460.post-44593278271882939612007-04-13T18:22:00.000+01:002007-04-13T18:22:00.000+01:00I'm a bit concerned that you never got to dance, a...I'm a bit concerned that you never got to dance, as a goth. WE had a special 'goth dance' which involved clasping both hands together in front of the face, and bending the arms to make one giant arm. This would then be swung diagonally back and forth across the body ( slow Goth number), or jabbed to either side of the face (slightly faster goth number, or at least the first few minutes of 'Bela Lugosi's Dead'). You hardly needed to move your feet at all, and it was surprisingly easy to look like you weren't enjoying yourself much. I might try it when I get in from the pub tonight, actually.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for adding me to your links, by the way -I'll reciprocate, when I work out how to do that!Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480141481321177460.post-81026267640461978612007-04-11T09:14:00.000+01:002007-04-11T09:14:00.000+01:00Don't worry I'm really quite partial to a bit of n...Don't worry I'm really quite partial to a bit of nonsense.<BR/><BR/>CheersGwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695613095959659034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480141481321177460.post-49918504999005865982007-04-11T08:29:00.000+01:002007-04-11T08:29:00.000+01:00I don't think there's any shame in listening to yo...I don't think there's any shame in listening to your old ELO albums. Given some of the blog interaction I've read on Smokie and Dean Friedman, and an exchange I had with ishouldbeworking on the merits of Racey and the Rubettes you've got nought to worry about. These bands make ELO look like Arcade Fire.<BR/><BR/>Gwen - no problem. I just hope I don't bring shame on your honourable blog with my puerile nonsense.<BR/><BR/>Rich - Get your coat!

True, he's not Hutchence, but it's a corking track. <BR/><BR/>Mind you, don't listen to me. I spent Sunday listening to my old ELO albums, and I know I shouldn't be apologising for my tastes, there are some things that you just don't talk about in polite society, aren't there?Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914896847679973163noreply@blogger.com
