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

SPECIMEN were a glam horror post-punk 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 in-crowd. It was just 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.
