There's quite a lot in the current version of the main article that is completely inaccurate, plus, someone keeps removing any reference to the band's very strong links with the Gothic subculture - most of the non-Pagan events they play at are Goth festivals, and all of the band members identify as members of the Goth/Alternative scene. They've played several major Goth events, including headlining the Whitby Gothic Weekend on five seperate occasions, and London's Gotham festival at least twice. They've also performed at almost all the major european Goth events.
I will attempt to find authoratative sources for the data before tidying up the article, but the main sequence of events is:
1988, Bellas Knapp. This was before Candia joined the band. 1989, Incubus Succubus. Recorded the Beltaine EP (from which the single of the same name came). First pressing of EP came back warped, several members left the band. Tony and Candia continued alone, under the name "Children Of The Moon". 1994, band re-formed as Incubus Succubus, with Adam Henderson on Bass. Released "Belladonna And Aconite" album. Recorded and released "Wytches", on CD and cassette tape. 1995, name change to "Inkubus Sukkubus", for numerological reasons (it comes out to a luckier number). Released "Beltaine" album, containing all the Children Of The Moon material. Recorded and released "Heartbeat Of The Earth".
This is all in the public record somewhere, through various interviews, published histories, and the band's official and unofficial websites. I am the author of the unofficial site, which while unofficial is approved by the band, and the history section at http://www.inkubus-sukkubus.co.uk/fs-backstage-history.html is entirely based on a first-hand interview with Tony McKormack, and has been checked by the band themselves for accuracy before it went live. Is it OK to cite my own website as a source for material? I know it's accurate, but I don't know what the Wikipedia guidelines (if there are any?) are on this kind of thing.
From then on it's mostly correct.
Ta for reading!
