A week before Christmas and a last trip to The Marquee for 1995, once again to see Incuibus Succubus and Cries of Tammuz on the same bill. This time joined by Sin Die Kult, a band I hadn't seen before. Sin Die Kult were ok, but didn't really stand out from many of the bands … Continue reading GIG 254: Incubus Succubus / Cries of Tammuz / Sin Die Kult – Marquee, 17th December 1995
Cries of Tammuz
GIG 211: Cries of Tammuz / Revolution By Night / Manuskript – Marquee, 4th June 1995
A great line-up for the regular Sunday Night Goth Night at The Marquee on Charing Cross Road. Not only because two of my mates bands were playing (who were both also really good) but also because Manuskript were also opening and they were great too! There was quite a crowd and it was one of … Continue reading GIG 211: Cries of Tammuz / Revolution By Night / Manuskript – Marquee, 4th June 1995
GIG 195: Cries of Tammuz / The Last Dance / Cathedral Lung – Marquee, 8th January 1995
The first of the Marquee's Sunday night 'Goth' gig of the year, and a return to the stage of Cries of Tammuz, so a chance to catch up with Paul and the rest of the band, as well as loads of the regulars on the gig circuit whom I'd not seen since before the holidays. … Continue reading GIG 195: Cries of Tammuz / The Last Dance / Cathedral Lung – Marquee, 8th January 1995
GIG 178: Incubus Succubus / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 31st July 1994
Two of my most frequently seen bands playing on the same bill again. There were indeed times I saw them on different line-ups but there was certainly a year or so that saw them play together more often than not. Or it certainly seemed that way. I'm not sure if it was the weather, or … Continue reading GIG 178: Incubus Succubus / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 31st July 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 160: Cries of Tammuz – The Bull & Gate, 29th March 1994
Hot on the heels of only seeing them two days earlier, we found ourselves in Kentish Town at The Bull & Gate on a Tuesday evening to see Cries of Tammuz for the third time in ten days. I've no idea who were supporting as a whole bunch of us (the guys from Tammuz, Vendemmian, … Continue reading GIG 160: Cries of Tammuz – The Bull & Gate, 29th March 1994
GIG 159: In Sensorium / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 27th March 1994
Cries of Tammuz were playing the Marquee for the second Sunday running. As opposed to the headline slot the week before (GIG 157) they were supporting Insensorium, who I'd seen the previous year (GIG 125) but wasn't overwhelmed by. Now, to be fair, I'd have probably gone to the Marquee anyway on a Sunday evening. … Continue reading GIG 159: In Sensorium / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 27th March 1994
GIG 157: Cries of Tammuz / Chrome – Marquee, 20th March 1994
Sunday night at The Marquee, the regular 'goth night'. After an all-nighter at The Slimelight on Saturday night that saw me leave the club at about 7am, and not wake up until just after 5pm, this gig pretty much happened after my 'breakfast'. Regardless of coming off an all-nighter and probably feeling slightly worse for … Continue reading GIG 157: Cries of Tammuz / Chrome – Marquee, 20th March 1994
GIG 147: Restoration II / Enrapture / Cries of Tammuz – The Bull & Gate, 31st January 1994
I'd been at the London Toy & Game Fair at Olympia all weekend, scouting out all the cool new games that would be seeing the light of day over the next 12 months (plus sneaking a peek at the new Lego, Playmobil and other toys that we didn't stock at Leisure Games but I had … Continue reading GIG 147: Restoration II / Enrapture / Cries of Tammuz – The Bull & Gate, 31st January 1994
GIG 145: Vendemmian / Curse In Vain / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 16th January 1994
1994. Magic: The Gathering had really taken hold in a big way and we were playing loads of the Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop RPG. Despite all the gaming I was still managing to get out to gigs and go clubbing and it only took sixteen days into the new year for me to get down … Continue reading GIG 145: Vendemmian / Curse In Vain / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 16th January 1994
