the birthday party was the goth stooges, thats why theyu were an awesome band. big bluesy punk riffs and ryhyms and nick cave the maniacal frontman ala iggy and the stooges, but they had the gothic spooky tinge. not gothic as in poserish and stupid, but gothic in a literary, poetic, suspenseful, murder stories edgar alan poe way. they also could be downright noisy as fuck. thats why i love them so much.
