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
GIG 150: Huggy Bear – Camden Palace, 15th February 1994
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 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
