The Sunday between Christmas and New Years. Generally quite a quiet time for gigs as many people have fled London to visit relatives, or in post-Christmas food comas - stuffed too full with turkey and chocolate (or atleast the carnivores - of which there were more back in the 90's than today). For those of … Continue reading GIG 315: The Marionettes / Manuskript / Surface 23 – The Underworld, 29th December 1996

GIG 314: Type O Negative / Moonspell – Astoria, 21st December 1996
This had been a gig I'd been waiting for for over two years. I'd seen Type O Negative back in September 1994 at The Underworld (GIG 184) at what I think was their first ever UK gig. They'd blown me away live and I loved their albums. Having to wait two years to see them … Continue reading GIG 314: Type O Negative / Moonspell – Astoria, 21st December 1996
GIG 313 : My Life Story – Camden Palace, 17th December 1996
I loved my Tuesday nights at Feet First, the alternative night hosted by Jonathon and Eko. Each week they hosted the club night, featuring a live performance at midnight (occasionally two) and then continued with the club night afterwards. The bands ranged from the fairly well known, to the fairly obscure, but tended to be … Continue reading GIG 313 : My Life Story – Camden Palace, 17th December 1996
GIG 312 : Marilyn Manson / Fluffy – The Forum, 12th December 1996
Marilyn Manson was terrorizing concerned citizens of Britian for some reason back in 1996. Petitions had been made to councils to ban him from playing local venues and his debut UK live appearence was bounced from The Electric Ballroom, to The Astoria (as shown on my ticket) to finally Kentish Town's The Forum on the … Continue reading GIG 312 : Marilyn Manson / Fluffy – The Forum, 12th December 1996
GIG 311 : Carter U.S.M. – Camden Palace, 10th December 1996
December rolled round and it was time for a Carter Christmas Party at the Feet First Club in the one and only Camden Palace. This was the third time I saw Cater The Unstoppable Sex Machine - and it seemed I was destined to see them every three years (GIG075 December 1990 / GIG120 June … Continue reading GIG 311 : Carter U.S.M. – Camden Palace, 10th December 1996
GIG 310: Inkubus Sukkubus – Acton Town Hall, 23rd November 1996
The Pagan Federation's 25th Anniversary Annual Conference. I'd helped out with a couple of these a few years earlier, and had also been on the Pagan Federation's Media Team briefly, but hadn't attended a Conferance in probably a couple of years until now. This years event had the added bonus of hosting an Inkubus Sukkubus … Continue reading GIG 310: Inkubus Sukkubus – Acton Town Hall, 23rd November 1996
GIG 309: Rosetta Stone / MESH / The Horatii / Leechwoman / Inertia – Astoria, 10th November 1996
I'd initailly brought a ticket for this all-dayer because The Nefilim were headlining. I was a massive fan of Fields of the Nephilim and had seen Carl (lead singers) more thrash-industrial tinged 'The Nefilim' once already in May (GIG 288) and had really enjoyed them. So I was looking forward to catching them again. Unfortunetly … Continue reading GIG 309: Rosetta Stone / MESH / The Horatii / Leechwoman / Inertia – Astoria, 10th November 1996
GIG 308 : London After Midnight – Camden Palace, 3rd October 1996
It was one of the rare Thursday nights at the short-lived goth night at Camden Palace. Following a similar pattern to Feet First (The incredibly popular and long running Indie night there on Tuesdays) the night featured DJs and a late night band, followed by more DJs. This evening it was the turn of Californian … Continue reading GIG 308 : London After Midnight – Camden Palace, 3rd October 1996
GIG 307 : Cries of Tammuz / Church of Babylon – The Underworld, 13th September 1996
I've been very neglectful in regards to my gig list postings. Life happened and I had very little time to continue my journey through the live music circuit and the bands I saw. I can't believe that my last gig post was back in early February - over 4 1/2 months ago! Must do better … Continue reading GIG 307 : Cries of Tammuz / Church of Babylon – The Underworld, 13th September 1996
GIG 306 : All Living Fear – Camden Palace, 5th September 1996
I can't remember the name of it but a couple of friends had decided to start a goth night at Camden Palace on Thursdays. I'm not sure it was weekly as the only times I went was the first Thursday in September and the first Thursday in October - so it was quite possibly monthly. … Continue reading GIG 306 : All Living Fear – Camden Palace, 5th September 1996
