My 57th gig at The Marquee. My last ever gig at The Marquee. An end of an era. My first gig at The Marquee had been to see King Swamp back in 1989 (GIG 009) and I'd seen dozen of bands over the subsequent years. Some great (Ugly As Sin, Claytown Troupe, Creaming Jesus, Judda, … Continue reading GIG 266: Vendemmian / Into The Abyss / Everythings Rosy – Marquee, 25th February 1996

GIG 264: Die Laughing / This Burning Effigy / Robed In Desire – Marquee, 11th February 1996
I'd not been to many Sunday nights at The Marquee for a while but had a little spurt of them at the beginning of 1996... unfortunately for the sad reason that the legendary venue had been sold and was to be converted into a Weatherspoon's pub. No more live music, all the history and bands … Continue reading GIG 264: Die Laughing / This Burning Effigy / Robed In Desire – Marquee, 11th February 1996
GIG 263: Skin Job – Marquee, 28th January 1996
I'm not sure who else was on the line-up on this Sunday evening at The Marquee. I'd been on my feet at the British Toy & Games Fair in Olympia all day. Whilst I was working for a record store at this point I was still pursuing the "Dwarf & Dragon" Games Pub & Store … Continue reading GIG 263: Skin Job – Marquee, 28th January 1996
GIG 254: Incubus Succubus / Cries of Tammuz / Sin Die Kult – Marquee, 17th December 1995
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
GIG 232: Incubus Succubus / Die Laughing / Skin Drill / Skin Job – Marquee, 24th September 1995
I hadn't been down to The Marquee for a few months, but the lure of seeing Incubus Succubus, Die Laughing and Skin Drill again - all on the same bill - was enough to get me back down to Charing Cross Road on a Sunday evening. Despite the fact I'd just moved house and had … Continue reading GIG 232: Incubus Succubus / Die Laughing / Skin Drill / Skin Job – Marquee, 24th September 1995
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 206: Vendemmian / Into The Abyss / Cathedral Lung – Marquee, 23rd April 1995
This was the second night of three gigs in a row. The previous night's gig had been a bit of a disappointment so I was hoping for tonights to be better. It certainly started off well with Cathedral Lung, whom I'd seen earlier in the year and enjoyed. They were possibly even better on this … Continue reading GIG 206: Vendemmian / Into The Abyss / Cathedral Lung – Marquee, 23rd April 1995
GIG 202: The Calling / Pitful of Ugly / Die Laughing – Marquee, 26th March 1995
Some Sunday night bands at The Marqquee were great, others were - politely put - less so. Given how often I used to head down to see bands there on a Sunday evening I feel I had a lot more 'hits' than 'misses' but there were certainly nights that just didn't work for me. This … Continue reading GIG 202: The Calling / Pitful of Ugly / Die Laughing – Marquee, 26th March 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 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
