Gender Benders/New Romantic Scene

[StevensVox]

I have been looking for this BBC Interview forever. It is called Gender Benders. I can find it on EBay, but only in Pal format (you know what that is like). I recently found the interview broken out in 5 - 10 minute clips on YouTube (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_-pR9fowzE)
If you were into or remember the New Romantic Scene from the 80's, you will probably really enjoy it. It goes into the history of the New Romantic Scene in the UK around the early eighties. featured are clips from Steve Strange (Visage), Boy George, Marilyn, Marc Almond, members of Spandau Ballet, and much more. What the scene was about in their own words, and where they are now. Granted, it is kinda scary to see those 'icons' and what shape they are in now.
Hope you enjoy it.

I just watched it. Considering this Documentary, I was mainly interested in the music of Visage ("The Damned Don't Cry" being a favorite) as well as the brief interview clips with Marc Almond. It is a very interesting moment and something to look into for those interested. It may have been a bit brief for me, but to those just starting to get interested, it is a solid starting point.

Meant to add my "thanks" as well for this post, I found it to be fascinating. Also perked up my interest about whatever happened to the Mini-Pops!!!
