Friday night, two nights until New Years Eve, but a bit of a repeat from the previous week. Gig at The Underworld followed by parting at Full Tile in the Electric Ballroom. This evenings bands were two that I'd heard of but had never seen. I had some London After Midnight tracks but think I … Continue reading GIG 258: London After Midnight / The Horatii – The Underworld, 29th December 1995

GIG 257: Embassy – Camden Palace, 26th December 1995
Yes, I know it was Boxing Day when most people are still recovering from eating too much Turkey and suffering from hangovers for having to put up with their relatives once a year, but Feet First at Camden Palace was surprisingly still on and as it was one of my best mates 20th birthday (Happy … Continue reading GIG 257: Embassy – Camden Palace, 26th December 1995
GIG 256: Sheep On Drugs / Papa Brittle / Leech Woman – The Underworld, 22nd December 1995
The Friday before Christmas meant a final chance to see a load of friends out clubbing at The Electric Ballroom before the holiday break - and seeing that Sheep on Drugs were playing The Underworld (just around the corner from the Ballroom) it was a clear and obvious choice of what the pre-Ballroom activity was … Continue reading GIG 256: Sheep On Drugs / Papa Brittle / Leech Woman – The Underworld, 22nd 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

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.

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.

Being a Tuesday I headed down … Continue reading GIG 250: Mega City Four – Camden Palace, 21st November 1995
