This was the sixth time I'd seen XC-NN (formerly CNN) and also possibly the last time sadly. They were a great band live and it was a shame they didn't last longer, or get more acclaim - but that is the way so often for bands sadly. You can be a great band and not … Continue reading GIG 230: XC-NN – Camden Palace, 5th September 1995

GIG 229: Supergroove / Sister Ray – Camden Palace, 29th August 1995
This was another of Feet First's infrequent 'double headers' with two bands playing the clubnight. I have no idea who Sister Ray were, but really enjoyed them. Supergroove was a New Zealand funk-rock group and I was really not keen on them at all. Can't really add much about this gig as I have zero-recollection … Continue reading GIG 229: Supergroove / Sister Ray – Camden Palace, 29th August 1995
GIG 226: China Drum / Paw – Camden Palace, 22nd August 1995
Back in London after a week away in my hometown, Lowestoft, visiting my grandparents with one of my sisters, followed by a weekend away in Flitwick visiting Michaels parents and friends, and Tuesday's Feet First club conveniently came around again giving all involved the perfect excuse (as if we needed one) to all meet up … Continue reading GIG 226: China Drum / Paw – Camden Palace, 22nd August 1995
GIG 224: Dub War – Camden Palace, 8th August 1995
I'd seen Dub War supporting New Model Army the previous December (GIG 191) and had really liked them. So the fact they were playing the Feet First Club at Camden Palace, and I had a guest pass for the club, meant it was a complete no-brainer for me to end up in Morning Crescent until … Continue reading GIG 224: Dub War – Camden Palace, 8th August 1995
GIG 223: Cardiacs – Camden Palace, 1st August 1995
My self exile from London didn't last as long as I had thought it might. Whilst I'd had fun clubbing in Manchester, hanging out with friends and seeing the wonders of Blackpool for the first time London called me back for one of my best mates (Jess) birthdays. Drinking and clubbing resumed and that inevitably … Continue reading GIG 223: Cardiacs – Camden Palace, 1st August 1995
GIG 220: 311 – Camden Palace, 11th July 1995
Tuesday night at Camden Palace had some good bands, some bad bands, and bands from all over the indie-rock-alt-dance spectrum. 311 were (or I should say are as they're still going) American alt.rock band that fused funk into the mix. I guess a little like Red Hot Chilli Peppers and a few other bands that … Continue reading GIG 220: 311 – Camden Palace, 11th July 1995
GIG 219: Catherine Wheel – Camden Palace, 4th July 1995
Tuesday night and back to Feet First at Camden Palace. We'd popped into the World's End in Camden for a few drinks beforehand, before wandering up Camden High Street for a nights clubbing. As with the usual Feet First pattern we danced until midnight, watched whatever band was on, and then continued to dance until … Continue reading GIG 219: Catherine Wheel – Camden Palace, 4th July 1995
GIG 208: Warrior Soul – Camden Palace, 9th May 1995
Tuesday night and The Feet First Indie Rock night at Camden Palace in Mornington Crescent beckoned - with American rock band Warrior Soul taking the midnight live band slot. A few of us met up at The Southampton Arms, the pub opposite Camden Palace, for a few drinks before heading over the road for the … Continue reading GIG 208: Warrior Soul – Camden Palace, 9th May 1995
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 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
