Hot on the heels of only seeing them two days earlier, we found ourselves in Kentish Town at The Bull & Gate on a Tuesday evening to see Cries of Tammuz for the third time in ten days. I've no idea who were supporting as a whole bunch of us (the guys from Tammuz, Vendemmian, … Continue reading GIG 160: Cries of Tammuz – The Bull & Gate, 29th March 1994
Gig List
GIG 159: In Sensorium / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 27th March 1994
Cries of Tammuz were playing the Marquee for the second Sunday running. As opposed to the headline slot the week before (GIG 157) they were supporting Insensorium, who I'd seen the previous year (GIG 125) but wasn't overwhelmed by. Now, to be fair, I'd have probably gone to the Marquee anyway on a Sunday evening. … Continue reading GIG 159: In Sensorium / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 27th March 1994
GIG 158: Children On Stun / Infant Skull Surgery / Die Laughing – Marquee, 23rd March 1994
Children on Stun were one of the wave of goth bands that appeared in the early 90's that achieved quite a following without managing to actually break through. I remember, a year or two later, chatting to an A&R friend who was looking after a band that they hoped would break the Top 40 and … Continue reading GIG 158: Children On Stun / Infant Skull Surgery / Die Laughing – Marquee, 23rd March 1994
GIG 157: Cries of Tammuz / Chrome – Marquee, 20th March 1994
Sunday night at The Marquee, the regular 'goth night'. After an all-nighter at The Slimelight on Saturday night that saw me leave the club at about 7am, and not wake up until just after 5pm, this gig pretty much happened after my 'breakfast'. Regardless of coming off an all-nighter and probably feeling slightly worse for … Continue reading GIG 157: Cries of Tammuz / Chrome – Marquee, 20th March 1994
GIG 156: Cardiacs – Camden Palace, 15th March 1994
Another Tuesday, and another night at Feet First at Camden Palace. Tonights band was the Cardiacs, who had formed back in 1977 and continued to play up to 2007. They would have continued for longer but frontman Tim Smith suffered a heart attack in June 2008 after leaving a My Bloody Valentine gig which left … Continue reading GIG 156: Cardiacs – Camden Palace, 15th March 1994
GIG 155: The Marionettes / Gunshot Dance / Black Vinyl Lust – The Dome, 9th March 1994
A mid-week gig at The Dome in Tufnell Park. Oddly exactly a year to the day since I'd been to my last gig at The Dome (GIG 114). March seemed to be a month for Dome concerts as out of the five gigs I'd seen here (including this year) four had been in March, with … Continue reading GIG 155: The Marionettes / Gunshot Dance / Black Vinyl Lust – The Dome, 9th March 1994
GIG 154: Manic Street Preachers / The Pogues / John Shuttleworth – Clapham Grand, 2nd March 1994
I've never really liked the Manic Street Preachers - either recorded or live - but have ended up seeing them a bunch of times over the years. Usually on festival line-ups or on a bill with someone else I wanted to see. Whilst I didn't mind The Pogues they weren't a band I thought I'd … Continue reading GIG 154: Manic Street Preachers / The Pogues / John Shuttleworth – Clapham Grand, 2nd March 1994
GIG 153: Die Krupps / PIG – The Underworld, 25th February 1994
Amazingly this seems to be my first gig at The Underworld, the Camden music venue underneath The World's End Pub. I really thought it would have appeared a lot earlier than at GIG 153, but apparently not. It was a Friday night and I was in Camden to see another of the bands that I … Continue reading GIG 153: Die Krupps / PIG – The Underworld, 25th February 1994
GIG 152: CNN / Maitreya – Camden Palace, 22nd February 1994
Camden Palace at it's best. Tonight was a combination of a fantastic crowd, fantastic band (or bands on this occasion as it was one of the rare times that the Feet First Club had two bands playing on the same night), at an already fantastic club and venue. Now I used to go to Camden … Continue reading GIG 152: CNN / Maitreya – Camden Palace, 22nd February 1994
GIG 151: The Mission / The Newcranes – The Forum, 18th February 1994
Friday night and my third concert in seven days - and the pick of the crop for me as I was getting to see one of my favourite bands again. I was surprised whilst writing this entry that I hadn't actually seen The Mission since their open air Finsbury Park gig (GIG 087) with New … Continue reading GIG 151: The Mission / The Newcranes – The Forum, 18th February 1994
