Wow. What a gig this was. A friend of mine (Gary) had given me a cassette of Type O Negative tracks earlier in the summer as he thought I'd like them. I hadn't actually listened to the tape at the time but when I was in Milwaukee for Gen Con in August I ended up … Continue reading GIG 184: Type O Negative / My Dying Bride / Tiamat – The Underworld, 27th September 1994

GIG 183: XC-NN / 94-Nil – The Electric Ballroom, 20th September 1994
Between the last time I saw CNN (GIG 175) supporting Sheep on Drugs in June and this gig a certain global cable news channel lawyers became involved which resulted in a name change from CNN to XC-NN. A name change that seems to have appeased certain quarters as they continued to use it until they … Continue reading GIG 183: XC-NN / 94-Nil – The Electric Ballroom, 20th September 1994
GIG 182: Creaming Jesus / Judda – The Electric Ballroom, 13th September 1994
One of my dream line-ups. Creaming Jesus AND Judda - two of my favourite live bands playing the Ballroom on a Tuesday night. Unbeknown to me at the time this was to be the last time I saw Creaming Jesus live as they split up later in the year. Which was a shame on so … Continue reading GIG 182: Creaming Jesus / Judda – The Electric Ballroom, 13th September 1994
GIG 181: Blessed Ethel – The Electric Ballroom, 6th September 1994
This gig, and a couple more coming up, have me slightly confused. They all take place on a Tuesday evening but I've got them down as being at The Electric Ballroom. That in itself isn't unusual, I frequented the Ballroom a lot for their club nights and it was also used as a live music … Continue reading GIG 181: Blessed Ethel – The Electric Ballroom, 6th September 1994
GIG 180: Paradise Lost / Die Krupps – Astoria, 2nd September 1994
I went into this gig very much for Die Krupps, as opposed to headliner Paradise Lost. To be honest I'm not sure I really knew much about Paradise Lost at this point in time, but am sure I saw them again a few years later on purpose, as opposed to them 'billing on the bill' … Continue reading GIG 180: Paradise Lost / Die Krupps – Astoria, 2nd September 1994
GIG 179: Vendemmian / Redemption / Enrapture – Marquee, 28th August 1994
After three gigs in a row I ended up almost a full month before my next gig, and only managed to get one in August. August had been a very busy month, not least as I spent a week of it in America split between Chicago and my first US Gen Con in Milwaukee where … Continue reading GIG 179: Vendemmian / Redemption / Enrapture – Marquee, 28th August 1994
