The Longpigs were one of the many bands that rode the Britpop wave in the mid-90's. They released a couple fo singles in 1995 but it wasn't until the follolwing year, when Britpop was at full steam, that they managed to get majort chart success with four Top 40 singles, with two of those reaching … Continue reading GIG 249: Longpigs / Lick – Camden Palace, 14th November 1995
Gig List
GIG 248: Incubus Succubus / Dream Disciples – The Underworld, 10th November 1995
Friday night in Camden was not unusual. I used to head to Camden most Fridays for The Electric Ballroom (mixing things up with the occasional Friday nights clubbing at Rockscene held at The Astoria). What we did before hand used to change around - sometimes drinking in Camden at The Dev or World's End, sometimes … Continue reading GIG 248: Incubus Succubus / Dream Disciples – The Underworld, 10th November 1995
GIG 247: EMF – Camden Palace, 7th November 1995
I find it amusing that I saw EMF twice. Not because of actually seeing them, I quite liked a few of their albums since 'Unbelievable' charted and seemingly took over the world, but because of the times I actually saw them. I'd first seen them supporting rock band Terrorvision (GIG 210) which seemed like an … Continue reading GIG 247: EMF – Camden Palace, 7th November 1995
GIG 246: Pete Tong / The Grid / N-Trance / Sunscreem – The Underworld, 3rd November 1995
Tonights Camden Live session was broadcast live on Radio 1 from The Underworld. Billed as 'Pete Tong featuring Special Guests' the ticket has confused me for some time as my notes never made mention of Pete Tong. But having looked into the night online to try and work it out it seems that the evening … Continue reading GIG 246: Pete Tong / The Grid / N-Trance / Sunscreem – The Underworld, 3rd November 1995
GIG 245: Sheep On Drugs – Camden Palace, 31st October 1995
The last day of October. Camden Palace. My third gig in as many days. My second Sheep On Drugs gig in three days. Halloween. All the ingredients you need for anotehr cracking night out at Feet First. This was my twelth gig of October (13 if you include the instore HMV set by The Chemical … Continue reading GIG 245: Sheep On Drugs – Camden Palace, 31st October 1995
GIG 244: Echobelly / Audioweb / Northern Uproar – The Underworld, 30th October 1995
It was The Camden Crawl - a week of gigs from both established, new, and up-and-coming artists playing a variety of venues in Camden Town. There were a lot of music venues in Camden so it was a pretty busy schedule. I'd picked up tickets for a couple of the gigs, plus was going to … Continue reading GIG 244: Echobelly / Audioweb / Northern Uproar – The Underworld, 30th October 1995
GIG 243: Front Line Assembly / Sheep on Drugs / Cubanate – Astoria, 29th October 1995
This was almost a dream line-up for me. Three of my favourite industrial bands all on the same bill - and finally my first time seeing Front Line Assembly live! To say I was in my element on this Sunday is probably a big understatement. I'd been out clubbing all night for a friends (Stacy) … Continue reading GIG 243: Front Line Assembly / Sheep on Drugs / Cubanate – Astoria, 29th October 1995
GIG 242: Intastella – Camden Palace, 24th October 1995
Fresh from an evening of the rap-metal of Clawfinger in Highbury I travelled northward to Mornington Cresent to head into Camden Palace for Feet First. It was always great to see my Feet First family, and quite a lot of them were in attendance this evening. The live band at midnight was often an interruption … Continue reading GIG 242: Intastella – Camden Palace, 24th October 1995
GIG 241: Clawfinger / Send No Flowers – The Garage, 24th October 1995
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
