It was the day before New Years Eve, the final Friday of 1994, and my last gig of a very eventful year. Loads of us were meeting up at Full Tilt in the Electric Ballroom (Camden) later to dance the night away but a few of us started out at the Water Rats in Kings … Continue reading GIG 193: Balaam & The Angel / Stella Madris / Zion – The Water Rats, 30th December 1994

GIG 192: The Blue Aeroplanes – Camden Palace, 20th December 1994
This was kind of our Christmas Party in some ways. A hoit of us all met up at The World's End pub in Camden after work for a few drinks and then headed down the road to Mornington Crescent for the Feet First Club at Camden Palace. I hadn't been to Feet First in about … Continue reading GIG 192: The Blue Aeroplanes – Camden Palace, 20th December 1994
GIG 191: New Model Army / Dub War – The Forum, 15th December 1994
New Model Army love their December gigs. Not sure why but pretty much every year they tour just before Christmas and even back in 1994 it was apparently no different. So we found ourselves, on a chilly Thursday December evening, in Kentish Town to see the Army at The Forum. This was the fifth time … Continue reading GIG 191: New Model Army / Dub War – The Forum, 15th December 1994
GIG 190: Cardiacs / Frog / Pop.A.Cat.A.Petal – LA2, 10th December 1994
I'd previously seen the Cardiacs at Feet First in Camden Palace earlier in the year (GIG 156) and really enjoyed them. They were also one of the favourite bands of one of my best friends, Alex, who was back for the weekend (or maybe Christmas) from Oxford Uni so I hooked up with her and … Continue reading GIG 190: Cardiacs / Frog / Pop.A.Cat.A.Petal – LA2, 10th December 1994
GIG 189: Christian Death / Prophecy / Infant Skull Surgery – Marquee, 8th November 1994
If anyone asked me I have always said I saw Christian Death once, but apparently I saw them atleast twice as they were headlinging this Tuesday night gig at The Marquee - and it looks like I may have seen them other times too. But it's the first gig of theirs (GIG 104) that I … Continue reading GIG 189: Christian Death / Prophecy / Infant Skull Surgery – Marquee, 8th November 1994
GIG 188: Terrorvision / Die Toten Hosen / Baby Chaos – The Forum, 31st October 1994
I'd originally seen Terrorvision back in February 1992, supporting Zodiac Mindwarp (GIG 097), back before they'd released their debut album. In 1994 they released their second album, 'How To Make Friends and Influence People', which bore a host of top 30 hits for them including 'Middleman', 'Pretend Best Friend', the massive 'Oblivion' and my favourite … Continue reading GIG 188: Terrorvision / Die Toten Hosen / Baby Chaos – The Forum, 31st October 1994
GIG 187: Patricia Morrison / Incubus Succubus / Enrapture – Marquee, 30th October 1994
Patrica Morrison had been the bassist for The Sisters of Mercy for the 'Floodland' album. She was an iconic part of the band and in the videos such as 'This Corrosion' and 'Dominion'. Between 1987's 'Floodland' and 1990's 'Vision Thing' Patricia left the band citing money owed to her. In 1994 she released a solo … Continue reading GIG 187: Patricia Morrison / Incubus Succubus / Enrapture – Marquee, 30th October 1994
GIG 186: The Australian Doors Show / Black Fat Cat – The Forum, 14th October 1994
It'd been just over year since we'd been at The Forum watching The Australian Doors for the first time (GIG 132). Given how much we enjoyed them first time round we had snapped up tickets to see them again. The support band, Black Fat Cat I believe they were called really underwhelmed me. I'm not … Continue reading GIG 186: The Australian Doors Show / Black Fat Cat – The Forum, 14th October 1994
GIG 185: Stiltskin / Sulphur – The Underworld, 10th October 1994
In the 80's and 90's Levi adverts were big business musically. Many of the songs they featured hit the higher end of the charts. Classics such as Ben E Kings "Stand By Me" and Marvin Gaye's " I Heard It Through The Grapevine" as well as new (or brand new) artists such as Smoke City's … Continue reading GIG 185: Stiltskin / Sulphur – The Underworld, 10th October 1994
GIG 184: Type O Negative / My Dying Bride / Tiamat – The Underworld, 27th September 1994
Wow. What a gig this was. A friend of mine (Gary) had given me a cassette of Type O Negative tracks earlier in the summer as he thought I'd like them. I hadn't actually listened to the tape at the time but when I was in Milwaukee for Gen Con in August I ended up … Continue reading GIG 184: Type O Negative / My Dying Bride / Tiamat – The Underworld, 27th September 1994
