Having this evenings gig at The Underworld meant that an afternoon spent exploring Camden Market seemed like the sensible things to do. Given it was a Saturday and the Markets would be in full gear. I'd never seen Rosetta Stone before so was really keen on finally getting to see them live. I'm not sure … Continue reading GIG 205: Rosetta Stone / Enrapture – The Underworld, 22nd April 1995
#RPGaDAY2022 Day 13 – How would you change the way you started RPGing?
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 13 – How would you change the way you started RPGing?
GIG 204: Credit To The Nation – Camden Palace, 11th April 1995
Credit To The Nation were a British hip-hop group that had become pretty popular on the Indie scene - especially since their 1993 single "Call It What You Want" which sampled Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Other tracks followed, including the brilliant "Enough Is Enough" which they did with long time associates and friends Chumbawamba. … Continue reading GIG 204: Credit To The Nation – Camden Palace, 11th April 1995

GIG 203: Rancho Diablo / Lovebomb – The Underworld, 6th April 1995
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
