My first introduction to Flesh For Lulu was the "Some Kind of Wonderful" soundtrack with the tune "I Go Crazy". I distinctively remember enjoying the tune from the movie, but at that time sources were limited for research afterwards. But with a name like 'Flesh For Lulu' I kept my ears wake for their tunes and discovered a few gems.

Flesh For Lulu's music is supposedly considered gothic punk rock, but clarification might need to come from some of our folks that are really into music. Also, who knows the real story behind the name "Flesh For Lulu" .. it kind of has a horror movie feel to it?

Thought this press release was a kinda cool:

Thought you might enjoy this music video from 1987 of my fav Flesh For Lulu track "Postcards From Paradise" .. the name alone makes it worth it:

Valley, I have a book entitled Rock Names. How Rock Groups Got Their Names, by Adam Dolgins.

They are all vegetarians, and they thought up their name after they saw Lulu, the Scottish singer, buying a burger at McDonald's while they were at Victoria Station.

Here is a website.
