I'd really enjoyed seeing Terrorvision in October '94 (GIG 188) so when they announced a date at Brixton Academy (one of my favourite venues) I quickly snapped up a ticket. It was a Sunday evening and Angela, Alex, Mike R, Oli, Surfer Boy and myself all headed down south of the river to the gig. … Continue reading GIG 210: Terrorvision / EMF / Joyrider – Brixton Academy, 21st May 1995

GIG 209: Ugly Kid Joe – LA2, 15th May 1995
There was a time in 1992 that Ugly Kid Joe ruled the summer. 'Everything About You', 'Neighbor' and 'Cats in the Cradle' blasted out loudly everywhere and our little group used to sing merrily along when we heard them. It took me until 1995 to finally see them in concert. My love of them had … Continue reading GIG 209: Ugly Kid Joe – LA2, 15th May 1995
GIG 208: Warrior Soul – Camden Palace, 9th May 1995
Tuesday night and The Feet First Indie Rock night at Camden Palace in Mornington Crescent beckoned - with American rock band Warrior Soul taking the midnight live band slot. A few of us met up at The Southampton Arms, the pub opposite Camden Palace, for a few drinks before heading over the road for the … Continue reading GIG 208: Warrior Soul – Camden Palace, 9th May 1995
GIG 207: Clawfinger / Misery Loves Co. – The Underworld, 24th April 1995
I'd been looking forward to this one. An amazing duo of bands sharing the same stage and at The Underworld - which was a really nice small(ish) venue underneath The Worlds End pub in Camden. Both bands were heavier than the music I was generally listening to at the time. I tended to be a … Continue reading GIG 207: Clawfinger / Misery Loves Co. – The Underworld, 24th April 1995
GIG 206: Vendemmian / Into The Abyss / Cathedral Lung – Marquee, 23rd April 1995
This was the second night of three gigs in a row. The previous night's gig had been a bit of a disappointment so I was hoping for tonights to be better. It certainly started off well with Cathedral Lung, whom I'd seen earlier in the year and enjoyed. They were possibly even better on this … Continue reading GIG 206: Vendemmian / Into The Abyss / Cathedral Lung – Marquee, 23rd April 1995
GIG 205: Rosetta Stone / Enrapture – The Underworld, 22nd April 1995
Having this evenings gig at The Underworld meant that an afternoon spent exploring Camden Market seemed like the sensible things to do. Given it was a Saturday and the Markets would be in full gear. I'd never seen Rosetta Stone before so was really keen on finally getting to see them live. I'm not sure … Continue reading GIG 205: Rosetta Stone / Enrapture – The Underworld, 22nd April 1995
GIG 204: Credit To The Nation – Camden Palace, 11th April 1995
Credit To The Nation were a British hip-hop group that had become pretty popular on the Indie scene - especially since their 1993 single "Call It What You Want" which sampled Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Other tracks followed, including the brilliant "Enough Is Enough" which they did with long time associates and friends Chumbawamba. … Continue reading GIG 204: Credit To The Nation – Camden Palace, 11th April 1995
GIG 203: Rancho Diablo / Lovebomb – The Underworld, 6th April 1995
Having really enjoyed Rancho Diablo opening for Sheep On Drugs (GIG 199The opening act, ) the previous month when I saw they were headlining their own gig at The Underworld I decided to check them out again. Angela, who hadn't been at the earlier gig, joined me on this occasion. The opening act, Lovebomb, were … Continue reading GIG 203: Rancho Diablo / Lovebomb – The Underworld, 6th April 1995
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
