Skidoo definitely new a thing or two about goth, even if they did precede it by a couple of years.
Not sure how 23 Skidoo precede goth by a couple of years, since they were formed in 1979, the same year Bela Lugosi's Dead came out, and they were playing DIY post-punk then anyway.

ah ha ..
"The Mission, for some strange reason, went for a little bit of everything. "Never Again," the opener on Masque, sounds like the Mission really trying to go big-league '90s U2-Achtung Baby style, but ending up a bit more like a dance remix of themselves than a multi-styled stadium filler. "

no idea as to whether its 'funky' ..

"regiment" by brian eno/david byrne isn't strictly goth, but it would probably fit in nicely on a "funky goth" itunes playlist

Worth it for the clown playing the cello though. Literally.
Worth it for the clown playing the cello though
surely that was the inspiration for psychoville
― mark e, Thursday, 10 September 2009 09:23 (sixteen years ago)
Not seen Psychoville but if it involves someone repeatedly hitting Wayne Hussey in the nuts with a banjo, then the music of the Mission probably did inspire it.

― Lord Crutsos Omicron (Curt1s Stephens), Friday, 11 September 2009 04:39 (sixteen years ago)
"Go!" by Tones on Tail would be a better funky example wouldnt it? Still, theres that Bauhaus connection again...

Oh ok if we're getting into new wave/disco then that opens up the floor completely (and for creaky old ex-goths like me, that stuff totally does count).
― Dearth Disco (Trayce), Friday, 11 September 2009 05:50 (sixteen years ago)
I dunno if I'd call Dead or Alive/Visage/Bronski Beat funky though.

Oh whoops -- I thought you meant not goth. Were Dead or Alive funky? I think so. I mean, Bootsy Collins didn't lose any sleep, but they certainly tried to be.

Listening to lots of the music Bimble liked on his respective threads, last.fm, and blog, I'm absolutely sure Bimble loved funky beats and we all know he was goth. Those DJ mixes are scheduled to come out before new year. (I even think Cloudbusting has a funky ring to it). Yeah he would have loved this thread
