I thought he was big in Goth circles too. Just what does he do anyway? "Avant Garde-Vaudeville-Blues-Americana" I guess.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. The cross-pollination of Goth and Industrial cultures happened sometime in the 90's with the advent of Nine Inch Nails and all the sound-alikes. That's where all the "cybergoth" nonsense comes from.

If your in the LA area, checkout Eternal in Chinatown every second Saturday. The main room is all Goth and Deathrock, with all of the cyber off in a smaller side room.
