totally on the late train here but The Phantom Limbs were a local Deathrock/Goth/Synthpunk something rather on Alternative Tentacles from Oakland. They had some crazy ass live shows.. the lead singer Lotto Ball rolled around in animal blood and sang through one of those bdsm mouth guard thingermajiggers. They have a pretty good cover of The Screamers' "122 Hours of Fear" that's worth looking through many videos of The Shins preforming their song of the same name as the band's and maybe finding. Also, how are goths annoying? The way the media portrays them (IE the disheartening episode of 2 & 1/2 Men) certainly is but they don't get anything right ever. I was pretty into this kinda stuff for a while and there's def some lousy jerks in the scene but you get those in ANY scene.
