“Gay Goth Scene” Short Film and Digital Single

“Gay Goth Scene” is finally here! While the video itself has its online premiere in various countries – watch it at tape.tv, Clash Magazine, and Exclaim! – the digital single is out now on iTunes.

In case the short film isn’t available in your  country due to geoblocking (sorry about that, it’ll be available on Monday for everyone to watch!), here’s something to make up for that: a free download of Noblesse Oblige’s remix of  “Origin:Orphan”.

Hope you like what you see (and hear)! Let us know what you think by using #GayGothScene on Twitter, Facebook, or wherever hashtags work these days.
