ON THIS DAY ... in 1987 - TRAGIC VENUS

34 rare photos of Gothic enigmas posed and live in Paris, 1987

TRAGIC VENUS still find people drawn to their rare musical offerings over the years, ‘Gabrielle With Rose’ having crossed the 100k mark on youtube. As they were briefly involved with Third Mind Records, with one track on the “For Your Ears Only” compilation, they found themselves part of a trip to Paris alongside Attrition, Bill Pritchard and Beautiful Pea Green Boat, playing to an enthusiastic, curious crowd at the Rex Club. Phil is still highly involved with music today, Bette Davis having disappeared. They could do a full gig live so maybe … just maybe … Philip will one day make everything available on bandcamp? That would be wonderful.
