Specimen 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'. Specimen were the glam horror post-punk band, most known for launching the 'Batcave' club in London around 1982. The club became a fertile dark arts club where interesting artists of the time would perform to the nightlife in-crowd. It was the new hip post-punk 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 mini-album on Sire in USA. But the success of the club maybe was a distraction. Later they had releases on Flicknife.
A NEW 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' video-clip has been made by the band with much better quality sound and images, here: youtu.be/V1opatzWxzk
All their recordings, including the 12" version of KKBB can be found on the Jungle CD 'Azoic' FREUDCD054. Buy their CD here: ebay.co.uk/itm/221953883145
