GIG 349: Reading ’97 Day 3: Metallica / The Verve / Marilyn Manson / Terrorvision / Bush / Dinosaur Jr / 3 Colours Red / Descendents / Dog Eat Dog / Feeder / Radish – Reading Festival, 24th August 1997

Whilst saturday at Reading Festival was a little light on the bands I saw (only 5!) Sunday certainly made up for it with a grand total of 11 over the course of the day! Kicking things off at midday on the main stage were Radish, who I had seen the previous weekend at V97 and … Continue reading GIG 349: Reading ’97 Day 3: Metallica / The Verve / Marilyn Manson / Terrorvision / Bush / Dinosaur Jr / 3 Colours Red / Descendents / Dog Eat Dog / Feeder / Radish – Reading Festival, 24th August 1997

GIG 346: V97 Day 2 : The Prodigy / Daft Punk / Gene / Longpigs / Sneaker Pimps / Placebo / Echobelly / Veruca Salt / Fluke / Apollo 440 / No Way Sis / Feeder – V97 Festival Chelmsford, 17th August 1997

GIG 286: Send No Flowers / Kerbdog / Feeder – The Water Rats, 16th May 1996

It was my birthday so what better way to celebrate than to go to a gig with friends. The gig in question was in the tiny backroom of The Water Rats in Kings Cross where a trilogy of bands awaited... including a small unknown band opening the proceedings called Feeder. To be brutally honest I … Continue reading GIG 286: Send No Flowers / Kerbdog / Feeder – The Water Rats, 16th May 1996
