I'd previously seen the Cardiacs at Feet First in Camden Palace earlier in the year (GIG 156) and really enjoyed them. They were also one of the favourite bands of one of my best friends, Alex, who was back for the weekend (or maybe Christmas) from Oxford Uni so I hooked up with her and … Continue reading GIG 190: Cardiacs / Frog / Pop.A.Cat.A.Petal – LA2, 10th December 1994
Gig List
GIG 189: Christian Death / Prophecy / Infant Skull Surgery – Marquee, 8th November 1994
If anyone asked me I have always said I saw Christian Death once, but apparently I saw them atleast twice as they were headlinging this Tuesday night gig at The Marquee - and it looks like I may have seen them other times too. But it's the first gig of theirs (GIG 104) that I … Continue reading GIG 189: Christian Death / Prophecy / Infant Skull Surgery – Marquee, 8th November 1994
GIG 188: Terrorvision / Die Toten Hosen / Baby Chaos – The Forum, 31st October 1994
I'd originally seen Terrorvision back in February 1992, supporting Zodiac Mindwarp (GIG 097), back before they'd released their debut album. In 1994 they released their second album, 'How To Make Friends and Influence People', which bore a host of top 30 hits for them including 'Middleman', 'Pretend Best Friend', the massive 'Oblivion' and my favourite … Continue reading GIG 188: Terrorvision / Die Toten Hosen / Baby Chaos – The Forum, 31st October 1994
GIG 187: Patricia Morrison / Incubus Succubus / Enrapture – Marquee, 30th October 1994
Patrica Morrison had been the bassist for The Sisters of Mercy for the 'Floodland' album. She was an iconic part of the band and in the videos such as 'This Corrosion' and 'Dominion'. Between 1987's 'Floodland' and 1990's 'Vision Thing' Patricia left the band citing money owed to her. In 1994 she released a solo … Continue reading GIG 187: Patricia Morrison / Incubus Succubus / Enrapture – Marquee, 30th October 1994
GIG 186: The Australian Doors Show / Black Fat Cat – The Forum, 14th October 1994
It'd been just over year since we'd been at The Forum watching The Australian Doors for the first time (GIG 132). Given how much we enjoyed them first time round we had snapped up tickets to see them again. The support band, Black Fat Cat I believe they were called really underwhelmed me. I'm not … Continue reading GIG 186: The Australian Doors Show / Black Fat Cat – The Forum, 14th October 1994
GIG 185: Stiltskin / Sulphur – The Underworld, 10th October 1994
In the 80's and 90's Levi adverts were big business musically. Many of the songs they featured hit the higher end of the charts. Classics such as Ben E Kings "Stand By Me" and Marvin Gaye's " I Heard It Through The Grapevine" as well as new (or brand new) artists such as Smoke City's … Continue reading GIG 185: Stiltskin / Sulphur – The Underworld, 10th October 1994
GIG 184: Type O Negative / My Dying Bride / Tiamat – The Underworld, 27th September 1994
Wow. What a gig this was. A friend of mine (Gary) had given me a cassette of Type O Negative tracks earlier in the summer as he thought I'd like them. I hadn't actually listened to the tape at the time but when I was in Milwaukee for Gen Con in August I ended up … Continue reading GIG 184: Type O Negative / My Dying Bride / Tiamat – The Underworld, 27th September 1994
GIG 183: XC-NN / 94-Nil – The Electric Ballroom, 20th September 1994
Between the last time I saw CNN (GIG 175) supporting Sheep on Drugs in June and this gig a certain global cable news channel lawyers became involved which resulted in a name change from CNN to XC-NN. A name change that seems to have appeased certain quarters as they continued to use it until they … Continue reading GIG 183: XC-NN / 94-Nil – The Electric Ballroom, 20th September 1994
GIG 182: Creaming Jesus / Judda – The Electric Ballroom, 13th September 1994
One of my dream line-ups. Creaming Jesus AND Judda - two of my favourite live bands playing the Ballroom on a Tuesday night. Unbeknown to me at the time this was to be the last time I saw Creaming Jesus live as they split up later in the year. Which was a shame on so … Continue reading GIG 182: Creaming Jesus / Judda – The Electric Ballroom, 13th September 1994
GIG 181: Blessed Ethel – The Electric Ballroom, 6th September 1994
This gig, and a couple more coming up, have me slightly confused. They all take place on a Tuesday evening but I've got them down as being at The Electric Ballroom. That in itself isn't unusual, I frequented the Ballroom a lot for their club nights and it was also used as a live music … Continue reading GIG 181: Blessed Ethel – The Electric Ballroom, 6th September 1994
