Gary Marx co-founded the Sister Of Mercy: Now he's released a Slade-worshipping, Bowie-loving glam rock album - and he wears a papier-mâché elephant head

As a co-founding member of The Sisters Of Mercy – together with singer Andrew Eldritch – guitarist Gary Marx was a key architect of the postpunk sound that would later be dubbed ‘goth’. And now he’s back with Green Ginger Jive, a stomping glam rock album featuring guests including The Mission’s Wayne Hussey (the first time they’d recorded together since the Sisters’ 1985 debut album First And Last And Always), The Wonder Stuff’s Miles Hunt and The Membranes’ John Robb.
