This threw me slightly as suddenly The Dandy Lions Monday alternative night was on a Tuesday courtesy of a long bank holiday weekend *and* they had two bands performing instead of the one (which obviously meant less time to bounce off each other to Ned's "Kill Your Television", Mudhoneys "Touch Me I'm Sick" or Jane's … Continue reading GIG 086: Shake / Big Brother – The Dandy Lion, 28th May 1991

GIG 085: Bogus Gods – The Dandy Lion, 20th May 1991
I can't remember much about this gig but that's probably for a number of reasons. 1) I saw Bogus Gods a number of times in Barnet as they were a friends band.2) They played some good gigs which I remember, and some ok gigs of which this was obviously one.3) It was in The Dandy … Continue reading GIG 085: Bogus Gods – The Dandy Lion, 20th May 1991
GIG 084: Zeister – The Dandy Lion, 13th May 1991
...and back once more to our little Monday night taste of alternative music in the high street. Another student/indie night, another band, and lots more dancing to Jane's Addiction, Mudhoney, Faith No More, etc :p No idea what the band were like, but from my brief notes the seemed better than many of the others … Continue reading GIG 084: Zeister – The Dandy Lion, 13th May 1991
GIG 082: Vision (something – possibly Visionfield?) – The Dandy Lion, 7th May 1991
This was another of The Dandy Lion's student/indie nights in Barnet. Attracting a mix of local college kids and the alternative, metal, indie crowd which often dominated The Green Man and Moon & Sixpence at the far end of the high street away from the more mainstream pubs. I have absolutely no idea what the … Continue reading GIG 082: Vision (something – possibly Visionfield?) – The Dandy Lion, 7th May 1991
GIG080: 17 Chairs – The Dandy Lion, 8th April 1991
This was another of The Dandy Lion in Barnets "Student Indie Nights" which was doing really well. I have absolutely zero recollection of 17 Chairs but my notes indicate they were pretty average and unremarkable (which may explain my lack of memory - or the fact that I apparently spent some time at another pub … Continue reading GIG080: 17 Chairs – The Dandy Lion, 8th April 1991
GIG076: Shake! / Mano Toi – The Dandy Lion, 18th February 1991
These two bands played the local Monday night student indie night at one of the local pubs in Barnet. I believe this was the third week the pub was running the club night and it had already become a good way to kick off the week (or extend the weekend) with a lot of the … Continue reading GIG076: Shake! / Mano Toi – The Dandy Lion, 18th February 1991
GIG075: Laughterland – The Dandy Lion, 11th February 1991
This was week 2 of the Dandy Lions student night and featured another local Barnet band that we all knew, Laughterland. Again, another enjoyable evening with a whole bunch of friends 🙂 Price : Unknown
GIG074: Bogus Gods / Dredd Hedd – The Dandy Lion, 4th February 1991
This was the start of something very fun. The Dandy Lion, a pub in Barnet where I grew up, had decided to start having a rock/indie/student night every Monday with live bands and cheaper drink prices. The pub was more commonly known in Barnet, at the time, for being one of the many that saw … Continue reading GIG074: Bogus Gods / Dredd Hedd – The Dandy Lion, 4th February 1991
