Tuesday night and The Feet First Club at the Camden Palace once again beckoned. A fairly large group of us descended on Mornington Crescent, took the walk up the steps to the once grand old theatre, paid our dues at the door, and hit the dancefloor ands bars within. I loved Camden Palace. It was … Continue reading GIG 150: Huggy Bear – Camden Palace, 15th February 1994
Gig List
GIG 149: Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction / Black Maria / Peer Pressure – Marquee, 12th February 1994
I had previously seen Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction back in 1992 at The Town & Country Club in Kentish Town (GIG 097). I'd actually forgotten I saw them again at this gig a couple of years later - and at the much smaller Marquee. I'd have thought that seeing them at a small … Continue reading GIG 149: Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction / Black Maria / Peer Pressure – Marquee, 12th February 1994
GIG 148: Skyscraper – Camden Palace, 8th February 1994
I was, at this point, still only an infrequent visitor to Camden Palace's Feet First Alternative Night on Tuesday's. I loved the venue, but had probably only been about a dozen times in four years - although that would change pretty quickly. Todays midnight band was a British rock band called Skyscraper. I'd not really … Continue reading GIG 148: Skyscraper – Camden Palace, 8th February 1994
GIG 147: Restoration II / Enrapture / Cries of Tammuz – The Bull & Gate, 31st January 1994
I'd been at the London Toy & Game Fair at Olympia all weekend, scouting out all the cool new games that would be seeing the light of day over the next 12 months (plus sneaking a peek at the new Lego, Playmobil and other toys that we didn't stock at Leisure Games but I had … Continue reading GIG 147: Restoration II / Enrapture / Cries of Tammuz – The Bull & Gate, 31st January 1994
GIG 146: Incubus Succubus / The Witches / Seventh Wave – Marquee, 23rd January 1994
Another Sunday night, another goth gig at The Marquee on Charing Cross Road in London. One of my favourite venues, despite the fact that you'd stick to the floor like superglue if you stayed still for more than 5 seconds in front of the stage. This evening saw my sixth Incubus Succubus gig, and all … Continue reading GIG 146: Incubus Succubus / The Witches / Seventh Wave – Marquee, 23rd January 1994
GIG 145: Vendemmian / Curse In Vain / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 16th January 1994
1994. Magic: The Gathering had really taken hold in a big way and we were playing loads of the Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop RPG. Despite all the gaming I was still managing to get out to gigs and go clubbing and it only took sixteen days into the new year for me to get down … Continue reading GIG 145: Vendemmian / Curse In Vain / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 16th January 1994
GIG 144: The Sisters of Mercy / La Costa Rasa – Brixton Academy, 21st December 1993
Night Two of The Sisters of Mercy at Brixton Academy. Night One had been fantastic, the best Sisters gig I'd ever seen. Could Night Two compete in any way to what had occurred under 24 hours earlier? We opted to stay for an extra pint in the pre-gig pub as opposed to see La Costa … Continue reading GIG 144: The Sisters of Mercy / La Costa Rasa – Brixton Academy, 21st December 1993
GIG 143: The Sisters of Mercy / La Costa Rasa – Brixton Academy, 20th December 1993
This was the fourth time I'd seen The Sisters of Mercy. The first two were at Wembley Arena (GIG 069 and GIG 070) and then outside at Crystal Palace supporting Depeche Mode (GIG 124). But tonight was at one of my favourite venues - Brixton Academy. Much smaller than an arena gig, so this was … Continue reading GIG 143: The Sisters of Mercy / La Costa Rasa – Brixton Academy, 20th December 1993
GIG 142: Incubus Succubus / Curse In Vain / Cries of Tammuz – The Moonlight Club, 10th December 1993
It's Friday night... and a gig night! It's also another Incubus Succubus gig at The Moonlight Club in West Hampstead. It's also the first time I saw Cries of Tammuz - a band I went on to see quite a few times and got to know Paul (the lead singer) and Francesca (friend of Paul's) … Continue reading GIG 142: Incubus Succubus / Curse In Vain / Cries of Tammuz – The Moonlight Club, 10th December 1993
GIG 141: CNN / Casino – The Water Rats, 9th December 1993
Formed in 1992 by David Tomlinson (vocals), Tim Bricheno (guitar; ex-All About Eve/Sisters of Mercy), and Neill Lambert (drums) CNN was a band that I'd been following for the last year and had picked up all the singles they'd released to date. I was really keen on seeing them live so when they played the … Continue reading GIG 141: CNN / Casino – The Water Rats, 9th December 1993
