Having really enjoyed Rancho Diablo opening for Sheep On Drugs (GIG 199The opening act, ) the previous month when I saw they were headlining their own gig at The Underworld I decided to check them out again. Angela, who hadn't been at the earlier gig, joined me on this occasion. The opening act, Lovebomb, were … Continue reading GIG 203: Rancho Diablo / Lovebomb – The Underworld, 6th April 1995

Angus’ Most Played Top 100 Bands July 2022
Ever since 2010 I’ve kept track of the music I listen to each month. It’s fascinating to see how some bands stay with me over the years whilst others have their moment on my stereo before vanishing from my mind… well, until years later when I check out to see what I was listening to … Continue reading Angus’ Most Played Top 100 Bands July 2022
GIG 202: The Calling / Pitful of Ugly / Die Laughing – Marquee, 26th March 1995
Some Sunday night bands at The Marqquee were great, others were - politely put - less so. Given how often I used to head down to see bands there on a Sunday evening I feel I had a lot more 'hits' than 'misses' but there were certainly nights that just didn't work for me. This … Continue reading GIG 202: The Calling / Pitful of Ugly / Die Laughing – Marquee, 26th March 1995
GIG 201: Faith No More / Shihad – The Forum, 13th March 1995
Faith No More was probably my mate Nick's favourite band, and had been for years. We'd long spoken about seeing them so when they came back to London Nick, Dawn, Simon, Matt, Angela and myself ended up at The Forum in Kentish Town with high expectations. Especially as they were playing a series of 'smaller' … Continue reading GIG 201: Faith No More / Shihad – The Forum, 13th March 1995
GIG 200: The Mission / Luxx – Shepherds Bush Empire, 10th March 1995
My 200th concert - my fifth time seeing The Mission - and my first time at Shepherds Bush Empire. I'd seen plenty of bands since my first ever concert back on 29th December 1987 (GIG 001), and had plenty more ahead of me, but the thrill and excitement of seeing live music certainly hadn't diminished... … Continue reading GIG 200: The Mission / Luxx – Shepherds Bush Empire, 10th March 1995
GIG 199: Sheep On Drugs / Spank Organisation / Rancho Diablo – LA2, 8th March 1995
The last time I'd seen Sheep On Drugs they were playing The Astoria (GIG 175), LA2's big brother next door. I'd seen them at the LA2 before too, but that was back in October 1993 (GIG 136) which was also the first time I saw them live. But they'd completed the circle and were back … Continue reading GIG 199: Sheep On Drugs / Spank Organisation / Rancho Diablo – LA2, 8th March 1995
GIG 198: Cubanate / Judda – The Underworld, 17th February 1995
Friday night in Camden and a combo of gig plus a night of clubbing awaits. The gig, at The Underworld (so called as the venue is in the basement of The World's End pub), is for two bands that I've seen a number of times and really enjoy - Cubanate and Judda. Unbenownst to me … Continue reading GIG 198: Cubanate / Judda – The Underworld, 17th February 1995
GIG 197: Skin Drill / Szekl Kurva – The Bull & Gate, 7th February 1995
Skin Drill really impressed us when we saw them a couple of weeks earlier (GIG 196), so when we heard they were playing The Bull & Gate in Kentish Town Angela, Michael, Richard and myself all headed down there on this Tuesday evening. Support came in the form of Szekl Kurva who, according to LastFM, … Continue reading GIG 197: Skin Drill / Szekl Kurva – The Bull & Gate, 7th February 1995
GIG 196: Cubanate / Inertia / Skin Drill – Marquee, 22nd January 1995
A not so typical Sunday evening at The Marquee. Sundays were usually their 'goth' nights - or certainly seemed to be with the amount of goth bands on the line-up every Sunday evening, but tonight we had swapped 'goth' for 'EBM/Industrial' bands Cubanate, Inertia and Skin Drill. I headed down to the Marquee with Angala … Continue reading GIG 196: Cubanate / Inertia / Skin Drill – Marquee, 22nd January 1995
GIG 195: Cries of Tammuz / The Last Dance / Cathedral Lung – Marquee, 8th January 1995
The first of the Marquee's Sunday night 'Goth' gig of the year, and a return to the stage of Cries of Tammuz, so a chance to catch up with Paul and the rest of the band, as well as loads of the regulars on the gig circuit whom I'd not seen since before the holidays. … Continue reading GIG 195: Cries of Tammuz / The Last Dance / Cathedral Lung – Marquee, 8th January 1995
