If anyone asked me I have always said I saw Christian Death once, but apparently I saw them atleast twice as they were headlinging this Tuesday night gig at The Marquee - and it looks like I may have seen them other times too. But it's the first gig of theirs (GIG 104) that I … Continue reading GIG 189: Christian Death / Prophecy / Infant Skull Surgery – Marquee, 8th November 1994

GIG 187: Patricia Morrison / Incubus Succubus / Enrapture – Marquee, 30th October 1994
Patrica Morrison had been the bassist for The Sisters of Mercy for the 'Floodland' album. She was an iconic part of the band and in the videos such as 'This Corrosion' and 'Dominion'. Between 1987's 'Floodland' and 1990's 'Vision Thing' Patricia left the band citing money owed to her. In 1994 she released a solo … Continue reading GIG 187: Patricia Morrison / Incubus Succubus / Enrapture – Marquee, 30th October 1994
GIG 179: Vendemmian / Redemption / Enrapture – Marquee, 28th August 1994
After three gigs in a row I ended up almost a full month before my next gig, and only managed to get one in August. August had been a very busy month, not least as I spent a week of it in America split between Chicago and my first US Gen Con in Milwaukee where … Continue reading GIG 179: Vendemmian / Redemption / Enrapture – Marquee, 28th August 1994
GIG 178: Incubus Succubus / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 31st July 1994
Two of my most frequently seen bands playing on the same bill again. There were indeed times I saw them on different line-ups but there was certainly a year or so that saw them play together more often than not. Or it certainly seemed that way. I'm not sure if it was the weather, or … Continue reading GIG 178: Incubus Succubus / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 31st July 1994
GIG 174: Children On Stun / Enrapture – Marquee, 5th June 1994
I'm not entirely sure why I headed to The Marquee to see Children on Stun and Enrapture. I'd seen both bands before and neither had really impressed me. I suspect it was more to see everyone else who was attending, and to give Children on Stun another chance to change my mind about them. Or … Continue reading GIG 174: Children On Stun / Enrapture – Marquee, 5th June 1994
GIG 169: CNN / Sunshot / Sulphur – Marquee, 12th May 1994
Thursday evening was usually our local games club, which in 1994 had been rather dominated by the Magic: The Gathering card game that had been released the previous year and took the gaming world by storm. To the extent that almost 30 years later it's still growing in popularity and helped earn it's publisher, Wizards … Continue reading GIG 169: CNN / Sunshot / Sulphur – Marquee, 12th May 1994
GIG 167: Incubus Succubus / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 8th May 1994
An evening of two bands I'd now seen probably more than any other at the time... and more than once on the same bill together. For some reason I got to the Marquee at 3pm and hung around back stage, during the soundchecks, etc, with the bands. So I got to see the 'glory' that … Continue reading GIG 167: Incubus Succubus / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 8th May 1994
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
GIG 164: Vendemmian / The Voice – Marquee, 10th April 1994
Fresh from being in Nottingham with Restoration II the night before Sunday saw me at The Marquee seeing Vendemmian - who had been the other part of Restoration before various band members went their separate ways and became two bands worth of music and live shows. The support for this evening was a band called … Continue reading GIG 164: Vendemmian / The Voice – Marquee, 10th April 1994
GIG 161: Incubus Succubus / Legend / Seventh Wave – Marquee, 3rd April 1994
Easter weekend is certainly no time of rest for the wicked. I'd managed to go clubbing twice (Cabbage Patch on Thursday night, Full Tilt at the Electric Ballroom on Friday night), spent the day trawling record, game and comics shops in central London on Saturday, and after Easter lunch with the parents I headed down … Continue reading GIG 161: Incubus Succubus / Legend / Seventh Wave – Marquee, 3rd April 1994
