Whilst saturday at Reading Festival was a little light on the bands I saw (only 5!) Sunday certainly made up for it with a grand total of 11 over the course of the day! Kicking things off at midday on the main stage were Radish, who I had seen the previous weekend at V97 and … Continue reading GIG 349: Reading ’97 Day 3: Metallica / The Verve / Marilyn Manson / Terrorvision / Bush / Dinosaur Jr / 3 Colours Red / Descendents / Dog Eat Dog / Feeder / Radish – Reading Festival, 24th August 1997

GIG 337: Glastonbury ’97 Day 1: The Prodigy / Smashing Pumpkins / Placebo / The Divine Comedy / Beck / The Levellers / Terrorvision – Glastonbury Festival, 27th June 1997
My first Glastonbury Festival. Only cost £75 back in 1997, a far cry from the £355 that the 2024 festival is costing. Mind you there were also only 90,000 tickets back in 1997 whilst next year sees 210,000 people - so it's grown a fair bit in the last 25+ years since I first went. … Continue reading GIG 337: Glastonbury ’97 Day 1: The Prodigy / Smashing Pumpkins / Placebo / The Divine Comedy / Beck / The Levellers / Terrorvision – Glastonbury Festival, 27th June 1997
GIG 260: Terrorvision / Honeycrack / Cecil / Pusherman – Astoria, 17th January 1996
It was Terrorvision time once again. I'd caught them three times before and they were one of the bands that could pretty much guarantee you a great time whenever you saw them. Joining me at The Astoria were Angela, Alex L, and Surfer Boy. I'd seen all the bands on the bill before apart from … Continue reading GIG 260: Terrorvision / Honeycrack / Cecil / Pusherman – Astoria, 17th January 1996
GIG 210: Terrorvision / EMF / Joyrider – Brixton Academy, 21st May 1995
I'd really enjoyed seeing Terrorvision in October '94 (GIG 188) so when they announced a date at Brixton Academy (one of my favourite venues) I quickly snapped up a ticket. It was a Sunday evening and Angela, Alex, Mike R, Oli, Surfer Boy and myself all headed down south of the river to the gig. … Continue reading GIG 210: Terrorvision / EMF / Joyrider – Brixton Academy, 21st May 1995
GIG 188: Terrorvision / Die Toten Hosen / Baby Chaos – The Forum, 31st October 1994
I'd originally seen Terrorvision back in February 1992, supporting Zodiac Mindwarp (GIG 097), back before they'd released their debut album. In 1994 they released their second album, 'How To Make Friends and Influence People', which bore a host of top 30 hits for them including 'Middleman', 'Pretend Best Friend', the massive 'Oblivion' and my favourite … Continue reading GIG 188: Terrorvision / Die Toten Hosen / Baby Chaos – The Forum, 31st October 1994
GIG 097: Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction / Terrorvision / Doctor Rain – Town & Country Club, 15th February 1992
Zodiac Mindwarp's "Tattooed Beat Messiah" was an album I listened to quite a bit when it released back in 1988, and on-and-off for a few years afterwards. It's actually an album I rebrought myself about 15 years ago and, whilst I don't listen to them very often any more, it does get the occasional airplay … Continue reading GIG 097: Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction / Terrorvision / Doctor Rain – Town & Country Club, 15th February 1992
