Tuesday night at Camden Palace had some good bands, some bad bands, and bands from all over the indie-rock-alt-dance spectrum. 311 were (or I should say are as they're still going) American alt.rock band that fused funk into the mix. I guess a little like Red Hot Chilli Peppers and a few other bands that … Continue reading GIG 220: 311 – Camden Palace, 11th July 1995
#RPGaDAY2022 Day 28 – Style Sunday: Roll 1d8+1, tag that many friends with your favourite RPG cover art?
Welcome to #RPGaDAY2022! Now in its ninth year, #RPGaDAY was originally created by RPG author and games designer David Chapman (Conspiracy X, Doctor Who, etc) as a bit of fun and to get people talking about tabletop roleplaying games. August was chosen, I believe, to coincide with tabletop roleplaying’s gaming mecca that is Gen Con … Continue reading #RPGaDAY2022 Day 28 – Style Sunday: Roll 1d8+1, tag that many friends with your favourite RPG cover art?
GIG 219: Catherine Wheel – Camden Palace, 4th July 1995
Tuesday night and back to Feet First at Camden Palace. We'd popped into the World's End in Camden for a few drinks beforehand, before wandering up Camden High Street for a nights clubbing. As with the usual Feet First pattern we danced until midnight, watched whatever band was on, and then continued to dance until … Continue reading GIG 219: Catherine Wheel – Camden Palace, 4th July 1995

GIG 218: Sunshot / John Palmer / The Valley Of The Dolls – Borderline, 3rd July 1995
Saturday may have seen us at Wembley Arena seeing big pop acts, but come Monday evening Mike and myself were back at The Borderline for something much more our usual fare of music. Tonight was a chance to see Sunshot again. I hadn't seen them for over a year (GIG 169) and that was way … Continue reading GIG 218: Sunshot / John Palmer / The Valley Of The Dolls – Borderline, 3rd July 1995

GIG 217: East 17 / Peter Andre – Wembley Arena, 1st July 1995
You have not read this incorrectly. I did actually go to see East 17, with Peter Andre in support. Not only that but I went willingly and on purpose. I know, right? A friend of mine (Barbie Mike) and myself had decided to try and see some of the big pop bands of the day … Continue reading GIG 217: East 17 / Peter Andre – Wembley Arena, 1st July 1995

GIG 216: Econoline Crush / Interact – The Borderline, 17th June 1995
Econoline Crush were a Canadian Alt-Rock band that I liked so seeing them play the relatively small Borderline was a real treat. A few of us met up for the gig, which was on a Saturday evening so we kind of treated it as a warm up before we went clubbing at Slimelight at the … Continue reading GIG 216: Econoline Crush / Interact – The Borderline, 17th June 1995
