GIG 254: Incubus Succubus / Cries of Tammuz / Sin Die Kult – Marquee, 17th December 1995
A week before Christmas and a last trip to The Marquee for 1995, once again to see Incuibus Succubus and Cries of Tammuz on the same bill. This time joined by Sin Die Kult, a band I hadn't seen before. Sin Die Kult were ok, but didn't really stand out from many of the bands … Continue reading GIG 254: Incubus Succubus / Cries of Tammuz / Sin Die Kult – Marquee, 17th December 1995
GIG 253: Therapy? / Honeycrack / Joyrider – Brixton Academy, 13th December 1995
This was a memberable gig for a couple of reasons. One due to the gig itself, the other due to the riot taking place outside that kept us locked in the venue and gave us all a police escort to Stockwell tube station as Brixton Station was still in the middle of the riot. But … Continue reading GIG 253: Therapy? / Honeycrack / Joyrider – Brixton Academy, 13th December 1995
GIG 252: Blameless / Seven – Camden Palace, 12th December 1995
I'd just started working at a record store - FAB who had two branches at the time - one in Finchley Central and one in West Hampstead. I was primarily working at the West Hampstead branch (FAB II) and was also still doing some evenings at the off-license job that I'd also recently started just … Continue reading GIG 252: Blameless / Seven – Camden Palace, 12th December 1995
GIG 251: Children On Stun / All Living Fear / Cathedral Lung – Borderline, 3rd December 1995
Sunday night - but not Goth night at The Marquee (which to be fair I'd not been to for a few months) but Goth night at The Borderline instead. The Borderline which was literally just around the corner from the Marquee so I'm not sure what was on at The Marquee that night but if … Continue reading GIG 251: Children On Stun / All Living Fear / Cathedral Lung – Borderline, 3rd December 1995
GIG 250: Mega City Four – Camden Palace, 21st November 1995
I'd just started a new part-time job at an off license in Finchley, only a few hours a day to bring in a little bit of money, and had headed to a friends house (Emily) in Kentish Town after work and hung out watching amovie until just before midnight. Being a Tuesday I headed down … Continue reading GIG 250: Mega City Four – Camden Palace, 21st November 1995
GIG 249: Longpigs / Lick – Camden Palace, 14th November 1995
The Longpigs were one of the many bands that rode the Britpop wave in the mid-90's. They released a couple fo singles in 1995 but it wasn't until the follolwing year, when Britpop was at full steam, that they managed to get majort chart success with four Top 40 singles, with two of those reaching … Continue reading GIG 249: Longpigs / Lick – Camden Palace, 14th November 1995
GIG 248: Incubus Succubus / Dream Disciples – The Underworld, 10th November 1995
Friday night in Camden was not unusual. I used to head to Camden most Fridays for The Electric Ballroom (mixing things up with the occasional Friday nights clubbing at Rockscene held at The Astoria). What we did before hand used to change around - sometimes drinking in Camden at The Dev or World's End, sometimes … Continue reading GIG 248: Incubus Succubus / Dream Disciples – The Underworld, 10th November 1995
GIG 247: EMF – Camden Palace, 7th November 1995
I find it amusing that I saw EMF twice. Not because of actually seeing them, I quite liked a few of their albums since 'Unbelievable' charted and seemingly took over the world, but because of the times I actually saw them. I'd first seen them supporting rock band Terrorvision (GIG 210) which seemed like an … Continue reading GIG 247: EMF – Camden Palace, 7th November 1995
GIG 246: Pete Tong / The Grid / N-Trance / Sunscreem – The Underworld, 3rd November 1995
Tonights Camden Live session was broadcast live on Radio 1 from The Underworld. Billed as 'Pete Tong featuring Special Guests' the ticket has confused me for some time as my notes never made mention of Pete Tong. But having looked into the night online to try and work it out it seems that the evening … Continue reading GIG 246: Pete Tong / The Grid / N-Trance / Sunscreem – The Underworld, 3rd November 1995
