GIG 126: The Outcast Band – Electric Ballroom, 20th August 1993
The Electric Ballroom, in Camden Town, on Friday nights was home to the Full Tilt club for over two decades. It was also my frequent haunt on Friday nights for probably most of that time. Goth, Industrial and EBM on the ground floor with more classic rock and metal upstairs. Decent priced drinks and, for … Continue reading GIG 126: The Outcast Band – Electric Ballroom, 20th August 1993
GIG 125: Vendemmian / Empyrean / Insensorium – Marquee, 8th August 1993
A return to my beloved Marquee. I can't believe I'd not been back here since November 1992! Nine months! I was last here for Creaming Jesus and Sunshot (GIG 106) and returned on this summer Sunday night to see Vendemmian, whom I'd seen earlier in the year (GIG 114) headlining at The Dome. Vendemmian put … Continue reading GIG 125: Vendemmian / Empyrean / Insensorium – Marquee, 8th August 1993
GIG 124: Depeche Mode / The Sisters of Mercy / Marxman / Dub Syndicate – Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, 13th July 1993
Crystal Palace was the scene of the finale of the European leg of Depeche Mode's "Devotional Tour". Having played their 1990 'Violator' album to death they were a band I'd long wanted to see live - and the bonus at Crystal Palace was that The Sisters of Mercy were supporting them! So wild horses weren't … Continue reading GIG 124: Depeche Mode / The Sisters of Mercy / Marxman / Dub Syndicate – Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, 13th July 1993
Face The Music with Margaret Weis
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 or books we read and, hopefully, love? Little is said, or explored, of the actual person’s tastes, or how they got into the hobby, etc. … Continue reading Face The Music with Margaret Weis
GIG 123: James Rays Gangwar / Judda / Godlike Bass – The Bull & Gate, 20th July 1993
I can't remember if the primary draw for this gig was James Ray Gangway or Judda - given that I really enjoyed Judda when I saw them a couple of months prior (GIG 118) but also really liked James Ray. Whatever the case it was a double bill that made me very happy to head … Continue reading GIG 123: James Rays Gangwar / Judda / Godlike Bass – The Bull & Gate, 20th July 1993
GIG 122: The Cult / Fun-Da-Mental / Hair & Skin Trading Co. – Brixton Academy, 29th June 1993
Having seen The Cult supporting Guns N' Roses the previous month (GIG 119) we now got to see them as a headliner, and at one of my favourite venues. The Cult were supported by Hair & Skin Trading Co. (who I wasn't keen on) and Fun-da-Mental, a British Asian hip-hop/techno group founded by Aki Nawaz … Continue reading GIG 122: The Cult / Fun-Da-Mental / Hair & Skin Trading Co. – Brixton Academy, 29th June 1993
GIG 121: Incubus Succubus / The Looking Glass – The Moonlight Club, 11th June 1993
The Moonlight Club was a small venue above The Railway pub on West End Lane in West Hampstead. It had a great musical history spanning decades. As the Klooks Kleek venue in the early 60's it saw The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Wonder playing to packed crowds. In the 70's it … Continue reading GIG 121: Incubus Succubus / The Looking Glass – The Moonlight Club, 11th June 1993
