probably a stupid question....

[Jeremy David]

If I recall correctly, the first band to self-apply the term "Gothic"
to their own rock music in an interview was Siouxie and the Banshees.
However, the first band to be called "Gothic" by a music reporter was
Bauhaus.

The only band to ever *be* Gothic, however, is Vampire Nation.
