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 July 2022

#RPGaDAY2022 Day 11 – If you could live in a game setting, where would it be?
Welcome to #RPGaDAY2022! Now in its ninth year, #RPGaDAY was originally created by RPG author and games designer David Chapman (Conspiracy X, Doctor Who, etc) as a bit of fun and to get people talking about tabletop roleplaying games. August was chosen, I believe, to coincide with tabletop roleplaying’s gaming mecca that is Gen Con … Continue reading #RPGaDAY2022 Day 11 – If you could live in a game setting, where would it be?
GIG 202: The Calling / Pitful of Ugly / Die Laughing – Marquee, 26th March 1995
Some Sunday night bands at The Marqquee were great, others were - politely put - less so. Given how often I used to head down to see bands there on a Sunday evening I feel I had a lot more 'hits' than 'misses' but there were certainly nights that just didn't work for me. This … Continue reading GIG 202: The Calling / Pitful of Ugly / Die Laughing – Marquee, 26th March 1995

GIG 201: Faith No More / Shihad – The Forum, 13th March 1995
Faith No More was probably my mate Nick's favourite band, and had been for years. We'd long spoken about seeing them so when they came back to London Nick, Dawn, Simon, Matt, Angela and myself ended up at The Forum in Kentish Town with high expectations. Especially as they were playing a series of 'smaller' … Continue reading GIG 201: Faith No More / Shihad – The Forum, 13th March 1995

GIG 200: The Mission / Luxx – Shepherds Bush Empire, 10th March 1995
My 200th concert - my fifth time seeing The Mission - and my first time at Shepherds Bush Empire. I'd seen plenty of bands since my first ever concert back on 29th December 1987 (GIG 001), and had plenty more ahead of me, but the thrill and excitement of seeing live music certainly hadn't diminished... … Continue reading GIG 200: The Mission / Luxx – Shepherds Bush Empire, 10th March 1995

GIG 199: Sheep On Drugs / Spank Organisation / Rancho Diablo – LA2, 8th March 1995
The last time I'd seen Sheep On Drugs they were playing The Astoria (GIG 175), LA2's big brother next door. I'd seen them at the LA2 before too, but that was back in October 1993 (GIG 136) which was also the first time I saw them live. But they'd completed the circle and were back … Continue reading GIG 199: Sheep On Drugs / Spank Organisation / Rancho Diablo – LA2, 8th March 1995
