Title: The Lords – Like A Virgin
Year/Genre/City: 1985, Goth Rock / Punk Rock, London, England
Matrix #: LORDS 12
Condition: EX

Cultural Facts:

[Supergroup DNA]: The lineup is stacked: Stiv Bators (Dead Boys) on vocals with Brian James (founding guitarist of The Damned) plus members tied to Sham 69—more of a scene collision than a “new band.”

[Pop Provocation]: They turned Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” into a deliberate statement single—using a mainstream hit as bait to pull punk/goth audiences into the joke.

[Tragic End]: Stiv Bators died in 1990 after being struck by a vehicle in Paris; stories around his death and burial became a grim footnote that still follows the band’s mythology.
