SPECIMEN Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (old video clip) Batcave pioneers

SPECIMEN were a glam horror postpunk band, who became most known for launching the Batcave club in London around 1982 or so. The club became a fertile dark arts club where interesting artists of the time would perform to the nightlife incrowd. It was just the new hip postpunk scene; only in retrospect tagged goth. They signed to London Records, first releasing a now rare Batcave compilation (Test Dept, Patti Palladin, Brilliant, etc) and some singles which became a minialbum on Sire in USA.
