Another Sunday night at The Marquee. Another Goth gig. Very much a gig of extremes. The opening band 'Plain Crazy' were pretty good. The second band 'The Unloved' were dire, the main support act 'Sister Midnight' were also good, whilst the headliners 'The Children' were terrible. Price: Unknown

GIG 051: Borghesia – Camden Palace, 17th April 1990
Camden Palace was slowly becoming a favourite Tuesday night haunt. Not as much as it would a few years later for me, but it was a place that a bunch of my school friends and I would head to for drinks, dancing, and whatever live band was on that night. It was incredibly cheap to … Continue reading GIG 051: Borghesia – Camden Palace, 17th April 1990
Face The Music with Sarah Newton
Most interviews with games industry figures tend to be about our latest game or "hot new thing" we're working on. But what about the people behind the games we play and, hopefully, love? Little is said, or explored, of the actual person's tastes, or how they got into the hobby, etc. Face The Music is … Continue reading Face The Music with Sarah Newton
GIG 050: And The Generals Ran Forever / Tragic Roundabout / Ship of Fools – The Marquee, 15th April 1990
This was my fifth gig of the month and came after a very late night party at a friends house and having spent most of the afternoon before the gig in a snooker club completely failing to pot more than two balls in sequence (those damn snooker tables are way bigger than pool tables! - … Continue reading GIG 050: And The Generals Ran Forever / Tragic Roundabout / Ship of Fools – The Marquee, 15th April 1990
GIG 049: All About Eve / Lilac Time – The Royal Albert Hall, 10th April 1990
Pretty much covered this one in the last gig update. This was the first time I'd seen the same band two nights in a row, or even twice on the same tour. There have certainly been a few bands that I've made a point in buying tickets to each of the gigs they were playing … Continue reading GIG 049: All About Eve / Lilac Time – The Royal Albert Hall, 10th April 1990
Retrospective: The X-Men #4 (March 1964)
Back in 1984 I’d just moved to America, had been introduced to Dungeons & Dragons, started listening to a lot more music, and picked up my first Marvel Comic. That first comic, an issue of Secret Wars, introduced me to a universe of characters who I quickly fell in love with. One team stood out … Continue reading Retrospective: The X-Men #4 (March 1964)
GIG 048: All About Eve / Lilac Time – Royal Albert Hall 9th April 1990
This was the first of a two night double header that All About Eve were playing at The Royal Albert Hall. It was also the first night (of two) that Will, Simon and I were going (Nick joined us for the second gig).All About Eve was a band that I was listening a lot to. … Continue reading GIG 048: All About Eve / Lilac Time – Royal Albert Hall 9th April 1990
Angus’ Most Played Top 100 Bands January 2022
Ever since 2010 I've kept track of the music I listen to each month. It's fascinating to see how some bands stay with me over the years whilst others have their moment on my stereo before vanishing from my mind... well, until years later when I check out to see what I was listening to … Continue reading Angus’ Most Played Top 100 Bands January 2022
GIG 047: Stage Dolls / Protocol – Marquee, 6th April 1990
After seeing Norways 'The Stage Dolls' supporting Fish the previous weekend at Hammersmith Odeon I decided to see them at their own headlining show at The Marquee. I can't actually remember much about this gig, although the Stage Dolls were apparently very good (I actually preferred them to Fish when I saw them previously too) and … Continue reading GIG 047: Stage Dolls / Protocol – Marquee, 6th April 1990
