Cries of Tammuz were playing the Marquee for the second Sunday running. As opposed to the headline slot the week before (GIG 157) they were supporting Insensorium, who I'd seen the previous year (GIG 125) but wasn't overwhelmed by. Now, to be fair, I'd have probably gone to the Marquee anyway on a Sunday evening. … Continue reading GIG 159: In Sensorium / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 27th March 1994

GIG 158: Children On Stun / Infant Skull Surgery / Die Laughing – Marquee, 23rd March 1994
Children on Stun were one of the wave of goth bands that appeared in the early 90's that achieved quite a following without managing to actually break through. I remember, a year or two later, chatting to an A&R friend who was looking after a band that they hoped would break the Top 40 and … Continue reading GIG 158: Children On Stun / Infant Skull Surgery / Die Laughing – Marquee, 23rd March 1994
GIG 157: Cries of Tammuz / Chrome – Marquee, 20th March 1994
Sunday night at The Marquee, the regular 'goth night'. After an all-nighter at The Slimelight on Saturday night that saw me leave the club at about 7am, and not wake up until just after 5pm, this gig pretty much happened after my 'breakfast'. Regardless of coming off an all-nighter and probably feeling slightly worse for … Continue reading GIG 157: Cries of Tammuz / Chrome – Marquee, 20th March 1994
GIG 149: Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction / Black Maria / Peer Pressure – Marquee, 12th February 1994
I had previously seen Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction back in 1992 at The Town & Country Club in Kentish Town (GIG 097). I'd actually forgotten I saw them again at this gig a couple of years later - and at the much smaller Marquee. I'd have thought that seeing them at a small … Continue reading GIG 149: Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction / Black Maria / Peer Pressure – Marquee, 12th February 1994
GIG 146: Incubus Succubus / The Witches / Seventh Wave – Marquee, 23rd January 1994
Another Sunday night, another goth gig at The Marquee on Charing Cross Road in London. One of my favourite venues, despite the fact that you'd stick to the floor like superglue if you stayed still for more than 5 seconds in front of the stage. This evening saw my sixth Incubus Succubus gig, and all … Continue reading GIG 146: Incubus Succubus / The Witches / Seventh Wave – Marquee, 23rd January 1994
GIG 145: Vendemmian / Curse In Vain / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 16th January 1994
1994. Magic: The Gathering had really taken hold in a big way and we were playing loads of the Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop RPG. Despite all the gaming I was still managing to get out to gigs and go clubbing and it only took sixteen days into the new year for me to get down … Continue reading GIG 145: Vendemmian / Curse In Vain / Cries of Tammuz – Marquee, 16th January 1994
GIG 138: Nosferatu / Incubus Succubus / Enrapture – Marquee, 21st November 1993
It'd been a busy couple of weeks since my last gig. EuroGenCon (or CryoGenCon as it had been nicknamed due to the 'summer holiday' chalets people stayed in being rather chilly in November) had taken place down at Camber Sands the previous week and I'd been helping at the Pagan Federation Conference all-day Saturday before … Continue reading GIG 138: Nosferatu / Incubus Succubus / Enrapture – Marquee, 21st November 1993
GIG 135: Judda / PIG / Foreheads in a Fishtank / Sow – Marquee, 24th October 1993
This was the third time I saw Judda live, and the first time with them headlining their own show. Sow, the first band on, where pretty good - certainly a lot better than Foreheads in a Fishtank whom I really didn't like. The main support came in the form of PIG, which was my first … Continue reading GIG 135: Judda / PIG / Foreheads in a Fishtank / Sow – Marquee, 24th October 1993
GIG 125: Vendemmian / Empyrean / Insensorium – Marquee, 8th August 1993
A return to my beloved Marquee. I can't believe I'd not been back here since November 1992! Nine months! I was last here for Creaming Jesus and Sunshot (GIG 106) and returned on this summer Sunday night to see Vendemmian, whom I'd seen earlier in the year (GIG 114) headlining at The Dome. Vendemmian put … Continue reading GIG 125: Vendemmian / Empyrean / Insensorium – Marquee, 8th August 1993
GIG 106: Creaming Jesus / Sunshot / Homage Freaks – The Marquee, 8th November 1992
I loved The Marquee on Charing Cross Road. Sure, you're shoes would stick to the floor in front of the stage if you stayed still longer than a couple of seconds and they served sometimes not-so-cold beer or cider in plastic pints, but it was a fantastic little venue and one that I spent a … Continue reading GIG 106: Creaming Jesus / Sunshot / Homage Freaks – The Marquee, 8th November 1992
