Gig List
GIG 119: Guns N’ Roses / The Cult / Soul Asylum / Blind Melon – Milton Keynes Bowl, 30th May 1993
Guns N' Roses were everywhere for a few years in the late 80's and early '90's. Their Appetite For Destruction album was massive and I doubt any of my friends, their friends, or their friends friends, didn't own a copy of it at the time. I remember when I first heard Sweet Child O' Mine, … Continue reading GIG 119: Guns N’ Roses / The Cult / Soul Asylum / Blind Melon – Milton Keynes Bowl, 30th May 1993
GIG 118: Creaming Jesus / Judda / Death By Crimpers – The Borderline, 28th May 1993
This was a great gig, not least because I was managing to see Creaming Jesus again - who were always fun live - but I was also introduced to Judda. Well, I say 'introduced to' - I actually already knew of the band as someone I knew was in them, but I'd never heard them … Continue reading GIG 118: Creaming Jesus / Judda / Death By Crimpers – The Borderline, 28th May 1993
GIG 117: New Model Army / Ed Allyne-Johnson / Power of Dreams – Astoria, 4th May 1993
It’d been a year since I’d last see New Model Army (GIG 101) and, as with that gig, they had Ed Allyne-Johnson as a stand-alone support act for them as well as joining them on stage during their own set with his home built electric violin. In addition they were also joined by Power of … Continue reading GIG 117: New Model Army / Ed Allyne-Johnson / Power of Dreams – Astoria, 4th May 1993
GIG 116: Fibrehead / Compulsion – The Borderline, 7th April 1993
I’d just started going out with a girl called Sue just over a week before this gig and it was the first one we went to together. We’d actually got tickets (before we started seeing each other) for Guns N’ Roses at Milton Keynes Bowl for the end of May (GIG 119) but hooking up … Continue reading GIG 116: Fibrehead / Compulsion – The Borderline, 7th April 1993
GIG 115: Daisy Chainsaw – Camden Palace, 9th March 1993
After seeing the Vendemmian gig at the Dome we headed to the underground, and the three stops between Tufnell Park and Mornington Crescent, to finish the night off at Camden Palace and the ‘Feet First’ club. Feet First always had a live band on around midnight and we were quite keen on getting to see … Continue reading GIG 115: Daisy Chainsaw – Camden Palace, 9th March 1993
GIG 114: Vendemmian / Incubus Succubus / Junk – The Dome, 9th March 1993
This was an interesting gig on a number of levels. For starters it was the first time I saw Incubus Succubus or Vendemmian live. I got to know both bands reasonably well over the ensuing years and still know members from both today. I knew Incubus Succubus (before they replaced the c's with the k's) … Continue reading GIG 114: Vendemmian / Incubus Succubus / Junk – The Dome, 9th March 1993
GIG 113: Black Maria / Between The Eyes / Brood – The Rock Garden, 23rd February 1993
Unfortunately I have no recollection as to any of the bands on this evening. I know that I was at the gig with John and Sarah, but that's it. Black Maria were (according to my notes) pretty good whilst their two support bands for the evening were both 'alright'. But that's about it. There have … Continue reading GIG 113: Black Maria / Between The Eyes / Brood – The Rock Garden, 23rd February 1993
GIG 112: RDF (Radical Dance Faction) – The Dandy Lion, 22nd February 1993
Now this was something different. A band that people had actually heard of playing Barnet's Monday night student/alternative night at The Dandy Lion. R.D.F. was/are a band who came out of the crustie/free festival scene that played with ska, dub and punk. They'd gotten some coverage in the music press and the occasional tune showed … Continue reading GIG 112: RDF (Radical Dance Faction) – The Dandy Lion, 22nd February 1993
GIG 109/110/111: Suspiria / Moon / Demi-Gods – The Dandy Lion – 28/12/92 – 11/01/93 – 08/02/93
I'm wrapping up the next three gigs I went to in to a single entry here. Mainly because they were all small 'student/alternative' Monday night gigs at The Dandy Lion in Barnet. As mentioned a few times, the bands the played the Dandy Lion were generally local bands and often not all that great. There … Continue reading GIG 109/110/111: Suspiria / Moon / Demi-Gods – The Dandy Lion – 28/12/92 – 11/01/93 – 08/02/93
