After seeing the Vendemmian gig at the Dome we headed to the underground, and the three stops between Tufnell Park and Mornington Crescent, to finish the night off at Camden Palace and the ‘Feet First’ club. Feet First always had a live band on around midnight and we were quite keen on getting to see … Continue reading GIG 115: Daisy Chainsaw – Camden Palace, 9th March 1993

GIG 114: Vendemmian / Incubus Succubus / Junk – The Dome, 9th March 1993
This was an interesting gig on a number of levels. For starters it was the first time I saw Incubus Succubus or Vendemmian live. I got to know both bands reasonably well over the ensuing years and still know members from both today. I knew Incubus Succubus (before they replaced the c's with the k's) … Continue reading GIG 114: Vendemmian / Incubus Succubus / Junk – The Dome, 9th March 1993
GIG 113: Black Maria / Between The Eyes / Brood – The Rock Garden, 23rd February 1993
Unfortunately I have no recollection as to any of the bands on this evening. I know that I was at the gig with John and Sarah, but that's it. Black Maria were (according to my notes) pretty good whilst their two support bands for the evening were both 'alright'. But that's about it. There have … Continue reading GIG 113: Black Maria / Between The Eyes / Brood – The Rock Garden, 23rd February 1993

GIG 112: RDF (Radical Dance Faction) – The Dandy Lion, 22nd February 1993
Now this was something different. A band that people had actually heard of playing Barnet's Monday night student/alternative night at The Dandy Lion. R.D.F. was/are a band who came out of the crustie/free festival scene that played with ska, dub and punk. They'd gotten some coverage in the music press and the occasional tune showed … Continue reading GIG 112: RDF (Radical Dance Faction) – The Dandy Lion, 22nd February 1993
GIG 109/110/111: Suspiria / Moon / Demi-Gods – The Dandy Lion – 28/12/92 – 11/01/93 – 08/02/93
I'm wrapping up the next three gigs I went to in to a single entry here. Mainly because they were all small 'student/alternative' Monday night gigs at The Dandy Lion in Barnet. As mentioned a few times, the bands the played the Dandy Lion were generally local bands and often not all that great. There … Continue reading GIG 109/110/111: Suspiria / Moon / Demi-Gods – The Dandy Lion – 28/12/92 – 11/01/93 – 08/02/93
GIG 108: The Levellers / Moonflowers – Birmingham NEC, 19th December 1992
To be honest, I have no idea how we ended up at this gig. I'm pretty sure it was one of those last minute "hey Angus, we have some spare tickets for a gig tonight, wanna come?" moments. All I know is that I ended up having a really hectic and long day. It was … Continue reading GIG 108: The Levellers / Moonflowers – Birmingham NEC, 19th December 1992
GIG 107: TG5 – The Dandy Lion, 7th December 1992
I'm afraid to say I don't recall TG5 at all and the diary entry for them is rather 'blah'. They weren't very good but then The Dandy Lion Alternative Nights were more about the friends and 'club night' aspect than the live bands so no real surprise there. Price: Unknown
GIG 106: Creaming Jesus / Sunshot / Homage Freaks – The Marquee, 8th November 1992
I loved The Marquee on Charing Cross Road. Sure, you're shoes would stick to the floor in front of the stage if you stayed still longer than a couple of seconds and they served sometimes not-so-cold beer or cider in plastic pints, but it was a fantastic little venue and one that I spent a … Continue reading GIG 106: Creaming Jesus / Sunshot / Homage Freaks – The Marquee, 8th November 1992
Angus’ Most Played Top 100 Bands March 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 March 2022
