Everytime i put on a lip service or any of my other old gothic dresses, this song makes me feel so ethereal while wearing them. The perfect song.

Laura's Dead

In 1985 the band Requiem In White was formed by core members Eric Hammer, Lisa Houle and Christopher Walsh, in Bostpn, MA. By the time they relocated to New York City in 1989, there was a healthy gothic scene, and Requiem In White had achieved a level of status which placed them at the forefront of the gothic movement. Their refusal to ever grant an interview or any kind of publicity created such an air of mystery around them that they attracted a loyal cult following, one that still grows to this day, even after the break-up. By 1994 the band was playing to thousands of fans at places like the Limelight, CBGB and the Ritz , headlining or opening for bands like Type-O Negative, Sex Gang Children and Biohazard. They were constanly in the fanzines, on the internet, on compilations and bootlegs, videos, stickers and on the backs of fans' jackets. Theirs was truly a "grass roots" fame, of the sort which history has proven to be the most enduring. By now Lisa and Eric were married, and at the height of their Requiem In White career, decided to break from the group and venture out on their own.Their desire was to create a more focused and polished group, with the ability to maintain complete musical and artistic control. The break-up was painful for all, and fans were devastated. They had seen Requiem In White as the "last original band" in a sea of "goth imitators" and "vapid drum machine clone bands". Requiem In White had embodied the sound and image of their deepest romantic fantasies.
