Finally seeing Judda again, and this time at The Underworld which is their biggest headline to date. It's Saturday and I'd been working all day, but a quick pitstop home to freshen up and change, and then jumping on the tube to Camden and I'm all ready and excited for an evening of good music … Continue reading GIG 173: Judda / Split Pigs – The Underworld, 4th June 1994

GIG 172: Eskimos & Egypt – Camden Palace, 31st May 1994
I was really looking forward to this evenings trip down to Feet First at Camden Palace. The fact that I'd probably not managed to get to bed earlier than about 2am over the last two weeks due to gigs, clubbing, Gen Con UK, and playtesting White Wolf's Wraith: The Oblivion - whilst still managing to … Continue reading GIG 172: Eskimos & Egypt – Camden Palace, 31st May 1994
GIG 171: Nine Inch Nails / PIG / Treponem Pal – The Forum, 26th May 1994
Fresh from having finished playtesting Wraith: The Oblivion at 3am the previous night (or much earlier in the day more technically I guess) and having worked 9.30 to 6pm at Leisure Games I was back in Kentish Town to see Nine Inch Nails on the last night of their three night stint at The Forum. … Continue reading GIG 171: Nine Inch Nails / PIG / Treponem Pal – The Forum, 26th May 1994
GIG 170: Nine Inch Nails / PIG / Treponem Pal – The Forum, 24th May 1994
I'd been wanting to see Nine Inch Nails for a few years, having been blown away by their debut 'Pretty Hate Machine' and superb follow-up 'Downward Spiral' albums - not to mention the Broken & Fixed EPs. Pretty Hate Machine was rarely off my record player, and they had very quicky become one of my … Continue reading GIG 170: Nine Inch Nails / PIG / Treponem Pal – The Forum, 24th May 1994
GIG 169: CNN / Sunshot / Sulphur – Marquee, 12th May 1994
Thursday evening was usually our local games club, which in 1994 had been rather dominated by the Magic: The Gathering card game that had been released the previous year and took the gaming world by storm. To the extent that almost 30 years later it's still growing in popularity and helped earn it's publisher, Wizards … Continue reading GIG 169: CNN / Sunshot / Sulphur – Marquee, 12th May 1994
GIG 168: Stabbing Westward / Tribute To Nothing – The Underworld, 9th May 1994
My second trip to The Underworld, and once again I was going to see an industrial band there. Tonight was the turn of Stabbing Westward to entertain. I missed Tribute to Nothing, courtesy of working until 6pm and then having to get home to change, eat, and then get myself from Finchley Central down the … Continue reading GIG 168: Stabbing Westward / Tribute To Nothing – The Underworld, 9th May 1994
GIG 167: Incubus Succubus / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 8th May 1994
An evening of two bands I'd now seen probably more than any other at the time... and more than once on the same bill together. For some reason I got to the Marquee at 3pm and hung around back stage, during the soundchecks, etc, with the bands. So I got to see the 'glory' that … Continue reading GIG 167: Incubus Succubus / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 8th May 1994
GIG 166: Tori Amos / The Divine Comedy – The Palladium, 30th April 1994
I've loved Tori Amos since her debut solo album, Little Earthquakes, came out in 1992. Her second album, Under the Pink, followed in February 1994, debuting at #1 in the UK album charts and this was her tour to support that album. She was playing at The Palladium, usually home to theatre performances and a … Continue reading GIG 166: Tori Amos / The Divine Comedy – The Palladium, 30th April 1994
GIG 165: Cubanate / Judda / Moth – Marquee, 22nd April 1994
For some reason I always thought I saw Cubanate at larger venues. I may well have done at some point but the first time I saw them was on a Friday night at The Marquee on Charing Cross Road in London. Whilst I had some Cubanate tracks, and especially loved 'Body Burn', I suspect the … Continue reading GIG 165: Cubanate / Judda / Moth – Marquee, 22nd April 1994
GIG 164: Vendemmian / The Voice – Marquee, 10th April 1994
Fresh from being in Nottingham with Restoration II the night before Sunday saw me at The Marquee seeing Vendemmian - who had been the other part of Restoration before various band members went their separate ways and became two bands worth of music and live shows. The support for this evening was a band called … Continue reading GIG 164: Vendemmian / The Voice – Marquee, 10th April 1994
