SECRETS by Frankenstein Wideboy
Recorded 08.09.20
Secrets was a song written for the Frankenstein Wideboy performance at the The Moon, Cardiff. The 12 song set of original songs (and a cover of Sex Gang Children’s ‘Sebastiane’. Andy Sex Gang was a special guest performance at the event), was created using anecdotes from Goths who frequented clubs and bars in Cardiff in the early 80’s, such as Nero’s and The Mars Bar. It was part of the UnderTheCounterCulture Festival curated by tactile BOSCH.
Secrets is described by Elton of SP as ‘Drone-Goth’ with Uri lyrically recalling phases from this years as a Cardiff Goth. Secrets will become a track in the Starlings Planet set with the audience encouraged to write down their secrets anonymously and Uri will incorporate them into the live track, subverting the border between band and audience. Other tracks performed at The Moon will be recorded in the coming months while the idea of Frankenstein Wideboy as a starting point for a alternative Goth musical/stage play is being developed.
