I'd really been looking forward to this gig. I'd previously seen Front 242 way back in 1993 (GIG 137) where they really impressed me live. Shame I had to wait four years before seeing them again but it was Saturday night and I was in a crammed Shepherds Bush Empire waiting for one of the … Continue reading GIG 351: Front 242 / Cubanate / Empirion – Shepherds Bush Empire, 11th October 1997

GIG 333: The Sisters of Mercy / Cubanate / The Overseer – Brixton Academy, 10th June 1997
Night Two of The Sisters of Mercy at Brixton Academy. Slightly different mix of friends at this one - and a different coloured ticket - but apart from that everything else was pretty much the same as the previous evening. I missed The Overseers altogether this time round, and Cubanate were even more disjointed and … Continue reading GIG 333: The Sisters of Mercy / Cubanate / The Overseer – Brixton Academy, 10th June 1997
GIG 332: The Sisters of Mercy / Cubanate / The Overseer – Brixton Academy, 9th June 1997
The Sisters of Mercy hadn't toured since the last time I saw them back in 1993 on their "Overbombing" Tour. I'd seen them on both of their Brixton dates back then, and had tickets for both nights again this time round, on their "Distance Over Time" Tour. The Sisters last album, "Vision Thing", was already … Continue reading GIG 332: The Sisters of Mercy / Cubanate / The Overseer – Brixton Academy, 9th June 1997
GIG 296 : Pitchshifter / Cubanate – LA2, 22nd June 1996
I'd only been at LA2 the previous night for a gig, but was back down to central London for another outting - and also my fifth gig in consecutive days. Thankfully it was a Saturday so I could rest the next day (especially as I'd worked all week including today), but not until after we'd … Continue reading GIG 296 : Pitchshifter / Cubanate – LA2, 22nd June 1996
GIG 243: Front Line Assembly / Sheep on Drugs / Cubanate – Astoria, 29th October 1995
This was almost a dream line-up for me. Three of my favourite industrial bands all on the same bill - and finally my first time seeing Front Line Assembly live! To say I was in my element on this Sunday is probably a big understatement. I'd been out clubbing all night for a friends (Stacy) … Continue reading GIG 243: Front Line Assembly / Sheep on Drugs / Cubanate – Astoria, 29th October 1995
GIG 198: Cubanate / Judda – The Underworld, 17th February 1995
Friday night in Camden and a combo of gig plus a night of clubbing awaits. The gig, at The Underworld (so called as the venue is in the basement of The World's End pub), is for two bands that I've seen a number of times and really enjoy - Cubanate and Judda. Unbenownst to me … Continue reading GIG 198: Cubanate / Judda – The Underworld, 17th February 1995
GIG 196: Cubanate / Inertia / Skin Drill – Marquee, 22nd January 1995
A not so typical Sunday evening at The Marquee. Sundays were usually their 'goth' nights - or certainly seemed to be with the amount of goth bands on the line-up every Sunday evening, but tonight we had swapped 'goth' for 'EBM/Industrial' bands Cubanate, Inertia and Skin Drill. I headed down to the Marquee with Angala … Continue reading GIG 196: Cubanate / Inertia / Skin Drill – Marquee, 22nd January 1995
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
