Friday night in Camden usually meant a trip to The Electric Ballroom later in the evening, but for some reason this evenings outting was just gig followed by home. I went to this with Melissa (we'd split up before Christmas but still ended up hanging out loads anyway), and a few other friends. I'd first … Continue reading GIG 317: Dream City Film Club / The Jam Pandas / Electric Joy Show – Dublin Castle, 24th January 1997

GIG 316: Space / Sneaker Pimps / Silver Sun/ The Pecadiloes – Astoria, 20th January 1997
My first gig of 1997. It was a Monday evening and I'd spent most of the weekend moving everything I owned back to my parents house for a few months whilst I was between leases. I was moving out of the place where I was a lodger as my friends who owned the house were … Continue reading GIG 316: Space / Sneaker Pimps / Silver Sun/ The Pecadiloes – Astoria, 20th January 1997
GIG 315: The Marionettes / Manuskript / Surface 23 – The Underworld, 29th December 1996
The Sunday between Christmas and New Years. Generally quite a quiet time for gigs as many people have fled London to visit relatives, or in post-Christmas food comas - stuffed too full with turkey and chocolate (or atleast the carnivores - of which there were more back in the 90's than today). For those of … Continue reading GIG 315: The Marionettes / Manuskript / Surface 23 – The Underworld, 29th December 1996
GIG 314: Type O Negative / Moonspell – Astoria, 21st December 1996
This had been a gig I'd been waiting for for over two years. I'd seen Type O Negative back in September 1994 at The Underworld (GIG 184) at what I think was their first ever UK gig. They'd blown me away live and I loved their albums. Having to wait two years to see them … Continue reading GIG 314: Type O Negative / Moonspell – Astoria, 21st December 1996
GIG 313 : My Life Story – Camden Palace, 17th December 1996
I loved my Tuesday nights at Feet First, the alternative night hosted by Jonathon and Eko. Each week they hosted the club night, featuring a live performance at midnight (occasionally two) and then continued with the club night afterwards. The bands ranged from the fairly well known, to the fairly obscure, but tended to be … Continue reading GIG 313 : My Life Story – Camden Palace, 17th December 1996
GIG 312 : Marilyn Manson / Fluffy – The Forum, 12th December 1996
Marilyn Manson was terrorizing concerned citizens of Britian for some reason back in 1996. Petitions had been made to councils to ban him from playing local venues and his debut UK live appearence was bounced from The Electric Ballroom, to The Astoria (as shown on my ticket) to finally Kentish Town's The Forum on the … Continue reading GIG 312 : Marilyn Manson / Fluffy – The Forum, 12th December 1996
