Tuesday night was usually Feet First at Camden Palace. Tonight was going to be no different, but before I hit Camden I was going to my first gig at The Garage in Highbury to see Swedes Clawfinger. This was my fourth time seeing Clawfinger live, and this time they were supported by a band called … Continue reading GIG 241: Clawfinger / Send No Flowers – The Garage, 24th October 1995

GIG 240: Die Krupps / Waltari / Leech Woman – LA2, 18th October 1995
Die Krupps rolled back into town, heading the LA2. I'd seen them twice before, both times back in 1994. The first time headlining their own gig at The Underworld in Camden (GIG 153), and then six months later supporting Paradise Lost at The Astoria (GIG 180). Despite being advertised Econoline Crush weren't supporting, which was … Continue reading GIG 240: Die Krupps / Waltari / Leech Woman – LA2, 18th October 1995
GIG 239: Apes, Pigs & Spacemen / Disciplin A Kitschme – Camden Palace, 17th October 1995
Tuesday night rolled around and Camden Palace beckoned. I was already in Camden as I'd sepnt the afternoon with a friend of mine, Jess, looking at pubs for sale (and an old church) as we were looking at starting up a themed pub where you could go and play games. It'd have 'themed' food & … Continue reading GIG 239: Apes, Pigs & Spacemen / Disciplin A Kitschme – Camden Palace, 17th October 1995
GIG 238: The Australian Doors – Brixton Academy, 14th October 1995
October seemed to be the month that The Australian Doors Show crossed the planet and toured the UK. I'd seen them in October 1993 (GIG 132), October 1994 (GIG 186), and now was seeing them for a third time in, yep, October 1995. There was a nice group of us that met up in Brixton … Continue reading GIG 238: The Australian Doors – Brixton Academy, 14th October 1995
GIG 237b : The Chemical Brothers, HMV Oxford Street, 12th October 1995
I've included this one here as a 'b-side' gig - as it wasn't really a gig per se, more of a live instore performance. I knew it was happening so had headed down to the massive HMV record store on Oxford Street in central London for the 1pm start. I was already a fan of … Continue reading GIG 237b : The Chemical Brothers, HMV Oxford Street, 12th October 1995
GIG 237: Hagfish – Camden Palace, 10th October 1995
Hagfish were an American Punk/Alternative Rock band from Texas, and were this evenings band at Feet First in the Camden Palace. I knew nothing of the band, and to be honest would probably have preferred them more if I'd seen them in the last ten years than in 1995. They played a pretty good set, … Continue reading GIG 237: Hagfish – Camden Palace, 10th October 1995
GIG 236: Die Laughing / Midnight Configuration / All Living Fear – Borderline, 8th October 1995
I'd been to The Slimelight all night and hadn't woken up until 5pm, so this 'evening' gig almost felt like a mid-morning affair for me. To be honest I'm glad I managed to make it in time as I'd just pulled two all-nighters clubbing over the weekend and was feeling fairly shattered. I hadn't seen … Continue reading GIG 236: Die Laughing / Midnight Configuration / All Living Fear – Borderline, 8th October 1995
Angus’ Most Played Top 100 Bands August 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 August 2022
GIG 235: The Levellers / Prophets of da City / Cecil – Brixton Academy, 6th October 1995
Surprisingly I hadn't seen The Levellers since 1992 (GIG 108) when I'd seen them at the NEC in Birmingham. Not quite sure how I'd not seen the in the (almost) three years since then, but it was Friday night and I was finally catching them again. I was originally going to this with a friend … Continue reading GIG 235: The Levellers / Prophets of da City / Cecil – Brixton Academy, 6th October 1995
GIG 234: Cancer – Camden Palace, 3rd October 1995
I spoke about the diversity of bands that the Feet First club hosted. The last time I'd been here, a week before, I'd seen the ambient dance band Loop Guru. A week later and I was seeing Cancer - a thrash metal/death metal band that had formed in 1988. They couldn't really be more different … Continue reading GIG 234: Cancer – Camden Palace, 3rd October 1995
