I was, at this point, still only an infrequent visitor to Camden Palace's Feet First Alternative Night on Tuesday's. I loved the venue, but had probably only been about a dozen times in four years - although that would change pretty quickly. Todays midnight band was a British rock band called Skyscraper. I'd not really … Continue reading GIG 148: Skyscraper – Camden Palace, 8th February 1994

GIG 115: Daisy Chainsaw – Camden Palace, 9th March 1993
After seeing the Vendemmian gig at the Dome we headed to the underground, and the three stops between Tufnell Park and Mornington Crescent, to finish the night off at Camden Palace and the ‘Feet First’ club. Feet First always had a live band on around midnight and we were quite keen on getting to see … Continue reading GIG 115: Daisy Chainsaw – Camden Palace, 9th March 1993
GIG 099: Redd Kross – Camden Palace, 14th April 1992
We ended up at the Feet First club at Camden Palace as they were having an "Album Preview Launch" for The Cure's "Wish" album - their first album since the stunning "Disintegration" back in 1989. Camden Palace was a favourite of mine for many years, as every Tuesday they'd have a massive alternate/indie club night … Continue reading GIG 099: Redd Kross – Camden Palace, 14th April 1992
GIG 067: The Bridewell Taxis – Camden Palace, 25th September 1990
The Bridewell Taxis were one of the first bands around the so-called 'Madchester' scene, although they never made it to to heights like some of the scene bands did. I was never really into the whole 'Madchester' scene (I loathed The Happy Mondays for instance) but Camden Palace put on a wide variety of bands … Continue reading GIG 067: The Bridewell Taxis – Camden Palace, 25th September 1990
GIG 066: The Trudy – Camden Palace, 11th September 1990
The Trudy changed quite a bit over the years. Originally formed in 1979 as a post-punk band, including members of The Cardiacs, the band underwent a few line-up and sound changes over the years up to their last release in 2016. I'd never heard of The Trudy, apart from in passing in some of the … Continue reading GIG 066: The Trudy – Camden Palace, 11th September 1990
GIG 065: Creaming Jesus – Camden Palace, 4th September 1990
I had become a massive fan of Creaming Jesus by the time I saw them at the Feet First club at Camden Palace. This was the third time I had seen them live I think, and I threw myself in to the thick of it, and I remember this gig really well. I was, strange … Continue reading GIG 065: Creaming Jesus – Camden Palace, 4th September 1990
GIG 063: Bomb Disneyland – Camden Palace, 28th August 1990
Ah, Bomb Disneyland. Not only did they run into problems with Disney they also ran into problems with the All England Hells Angels. Disney complained about the name (which they did eventually change to 'Bomb Everything' and the biker gang complained about some of there artwork (which they also changed and restickered the existing stock). … Continue reading GIG 063: Bomb Disneyland – Camden Palace, 28th August 1990
GIG 062: The Unloved – Camden Palace, 21st August 1990
There seems to have been a whole bunch of bands called 'The Unloved' - none of which ever became famous so lived up to their name. I'm not sure which 'Unloved' I saw as I've narrowed it down to two - and it could have been the one I saw in a support slot at … Continue reading GIG 062: The Unloved – Camden Palace, 21st August 1990
GIG 061: Beef – Camden Palace, 7th August 1990
Some bands at Feet First were great. Others were shit. Beef were a female fronted indie rock band who, had they been around five years later would have probably done very well. Listening to some of their songs now on Soundcloud I actually quite like them. But when I saw them live back in 1990 … Continue reading GIG 061: Beef – Camden Palace, 7th August 1990
