Tuesday night at Camden Palace had some good bands, some bad bands, and bands from all over the indie-rock-alt-dance spectrum. 311 were (or I should say are as they're still going) American alt.rock band that fused funk into the mix. I guess a little like Red Hot Chilli Peppers and a few other bands that … Continue reading GIG 220: 311 – Camden Palace, 11th July 1995
Gig List
GIG 219: Catherine Wheel – Camden Palace, 4th July 1995
Tuesday night and back to Feet First at Camden Palace. We'd popped into the World's End in Camden for a few drinks beforehand, before wandering up Camden High Street for a nights clubbing. As with the usual Feet First pattern we danced until midnight, watched whatever band was on, and then continued to dance until … Continue reading GIG 219: Catherine Wheel – Camden Palace, 4th July 1995
GIG 218: Sunshot / John Palmer / The Valley Of The Dolls – Borderline, 3rd July 1995
Saturday may have seen us at Wembley Arena seeing big pop acts, but come Monday evening Mike and myself were back at The Borderline for something much more our usual fare of music. Tonight was a chance to see Sunshot again. I hadn't seen them for over a year (GIG 169) and that was way … Continue reading GIG 218: Sunshot / John Palmer / The Valley Of The Dolls – Borderline, 3rd July 1995
GIG 217: East 17 / Peter Andre – Wembley Arena, 1st July 1995
You have not read this incorrectly. I did actually go to see East 17, with Peter Andre in support. Not only that but I went willingly and on purpose. I know, right? A friend of mine (Barbie Mike) and myself had decided to try and see some of the big pop bands of the day … Continue reading GIG 217: East 17 / Peter Andre – Wembley Arena, 1st July 1995
GIG 216: Econoline Crush / Interact – The Borderline, 17th June 1995
Econoline Crush were a Canadian Alt-Rock band that I liked so seeing them play the relatively small Borderline was a real treat. A few of us met up for the gig, which was on a Saturday evening so we kind of treated it as a warm up before we went clubbing at Slimelight at the … Continue reading GIG 216: Econoline Crush / Interact – The Borderline, 17th June 1995
GIG 215: Warrior Soul / Clawfinger / Headswin / Misery Loves Co. – Astoria, 15th June 1995
The Kerrang-Carlsberg Tour 1995 rolled into London and took over The Astoria for the night. Four bands, three of whom I'd seen before, and a night of headbanding awaited. I had a week off so really had no excuse for arriving late at this gig. But for some reason we did arrive late and unfortunately … Continue reading GIG 215: Warrior Soul / Clawfinger / Headswin / Misery Loves Co. – Astoria, 15th June 1995
GIG 214: Whale / Ringo – The Water Rats, 12th June 1995
I could have been in Stockholm for this gig rather than London. Michael, Francesca and I were three of very few Brits in The Water Rats on this Monday evening. Whale were pretty popular in their native Sweden and had scored a top 10 hit over there, whereas it would only be somepoint this month … Continue reading GIG 214: Whale / Ringo – The Water Rats, 12th June 1995
GIG 213: The Marionettes / Dream Disciples / Witching Hour – The Underworld, 9th June 1995
Friday night and a Camden double bill of a gig at The Underworld followed by clubbing at The Electric Ballroom for their Full Tilt night. Loads of people were out and a great night beckoned. I'd seen first support, Witching Hour, a few years before (GIG 098) and had really enjoyed them at the time. … Continue reading GIG 213: The Marionettes / Dream Disciples / Witching Hour – The Underworld, 9th June 1995
GIG 212: Rubicon / Angora – The Borderline, 7th June 1995
I'd last seen Rubicon back in 1992 (GIG 103) on their first tour after forming in the wake of The Fields of The Nephilim splitting up. I'd not really heard much of them in the intervening years but spotted they were playing a gig at The Borderline so a few of us brought tickets and … Continue reading GIG 212: Rubicon / Angora – The Borderline, 7th June 1995
GIG 211: Cries of Tammuz / Revolution By Night / Manuskript – Marquee, 4th June 1995
A great line-up for the regular Sunday Night Goth Night at The Marquee on Charing Cross Road. Not only because two of my mates bands were playing (who were both also really good) but also because Manuskript were also opening and they were great too! There was quite a crowd and it was one of … Continue reading GIG 211: Cries of Tammuz / Revolution By Night / Manuskript – Marquee, 4th June 1995
