I think this may have the been the last time we saw Giant International. Not sure if they split up around the end of 1990/91 or if they continued to tour but we somehow missed them. I'd certainly have thought we'd have have seen them again if possible as they were a band that we … Continue reading GIG 064: Giant International / The Hanging Tree – The Marquee, 30th August 1990

GIG 056: The Black Crowes / Slide – The Marquee, 7th June 1990
We hadn't planned on seeing The Black Crowes, nor had we realised they were even playing what I believe was their first UK gig until three days before hand. Mike and myself had been at The Marquee to see the brilliant Ugly As Sin (see GIG 055) and found out they were selling tickets to … Continue reading GIG 056: The Black Crowes / Slide – The Marquee, 7th June 1990
GIG 055: Ugly As Sin / Ship of Fools – The Marquee 4th June 1990
Ugly As Sin were actually one of my favourite bands around this time. I used to play the Pain 7" on repeat at home, and it remains one of my favourite songs today. They formed in 1989, released their only album, "The Good The Bad & The Ugly", in 1990 and had split up by … Continue reading GIG 055: Ugly As Sin / Ship of Fools – The Marquee 4th June 1990
GIG 053: Something Happens / Giant International – The Marquee, 3rd May 1990
We'd seen Irish band Something Happens supporting The Mission and had enjoyed them so when they announced a date at The Marquee Nick, Mike and myself found ourselves in London on a Thursday evening :pSomething Happens very pretty big in Ireland, but didn't get the attention they deserved in the UK. They went on to … Continue reading GIG 053: Something Happens / Giant International – The Marquee, 3rd May 1990
GIG 052: The Children / Sister Midnight / The Unloved / Plain Crazy – The Marquee, 22nd April 1990
Another Sunday night at The Marquee. Another Goth gig. Very much a gig of extremes. The opening band 'Plain Crazy' were pretty good. The second band 'The Unloved' were dire, the main support act 'Sister Midnight' were also good, whilst the headliners 'The Children' were terrible. Price: Unknown
GIG 050: And The Generals Ran Forever / Tragic Roundabout / Ship of Fools – The Marquee, 15th April 1990
This was my fifth gig of the month and came after a very late night party at a friends house and having spent most of the afternoon before the gig in a snooker club completely failing to pot more than two balls in sequence (those damn snooker tables are way bigger than pool tables! - … Continue reading GIG 050: And The Generals Ran Forever / Tragic Roundabout / Ship of Fools – The Marquee, 15th April 1990
GIG 047: Stage Dolls / Protocol – Marquee, 6th April 1990
After seeing Norways 'The Stage Dolls' supporting Fish the previous weekend at Hammersmith Odeon I decided to see them at their own headlining show at The Marquee. I can't actually remember much about this gig, although the Stage Dolls were apparently very good (I actually preferred them to Fish when I saw them previously too) and … Continue reading GIG 047: Stage Dolls / Protocol – Marquee, 6th April 1990
GIG 045: Red Dogs / Feline Groove – Marquee, 28th March 1990
I can't actually remember what the Red Dogs were like at all, can't visual what they looked like, or what they sounded like. All I have is a brief note that let's me know they 'were ok' but nothing spectacular. They were supported by Feline Groove whose video I've included here as they went on … Continue reading GIG 045: Red Dogs / Feline Groove – Marquee, 28th March 1990
GIG 043: Bad Girls / Chunk / Silver Hearts – Marquee, 21st March 1990
Bad Girls (Not the band that Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame was briefly in - they might not have even been born when I saw these guys!) were the first headline band that I saw that sucked big time. I'd seen some headliners that I wasn't overly fond of, or who weren't all that good … Continue reading GIG 043: Bad Girls / Chunk / Silver Hearts – Marquee, 21st March 1990
GIG 041: Giant International / The Name / Clay People – Marquee, 28th February 1990
Giant International were a fun band live. I'd seen them supporting The Otherside (GIG 036) the pervious month and they impressed enough that I headed into central London on a Wednesday evening to catch them headlining the Marquee themselves. Support came in the form of a band called The Name (who were also pretty good) … Continue reading GIG 041: Giant International / The Name / Clay People – Marquee, 28th February 1990
