Flesh For Lulu were among the ‘80s bands, along with the likes of the Cure and Love & Rockets, who brought an accessible take on the Batcave aesthetic nearest to mainstream success in that decade. They hit a peak in 1987, when their singles “Siamese Twist” and “Postcards from Paradise” became college radio and 120 Minutes mainstays, and “I Go Crazy” was featured prominently on the soundtrack of John Hughes’ teen drama Some Kind of Wonderful. By 1992, they’d gone the way that most bands of that ilk had gone by 1992, citing “musical differences” as the reason for their breakup. Their singer Nick Marsh continued to make music in bands like Gigantic and Urban Voodoo Machine, and he re-formed Flesh For Lulu in 2013.
 

 
But that reunion has to wait. In March of 2014, Marsh learned that he had throat cancer. He underwent surgery, radiation, and chemo, but the cancer returned last month, necessitating further surgery, further radiation, further chemo. As he is no longer able to earn his living as a singer for obvious reasons, his family has established a GoFundMe page to offset his medical costs and living expenses—he’s the father of two young girls, and evidently the family’s straits have become so dire that they’re facing eviction. If you’re able and inclined to help out, here’s the link.

Here’s Marsh in much better days, fronting Flesh For Lulu in 1985.
