GIG 155: The Marionettes / Gunshot Dance / Black Vinyl Lust – The Dome, 9th March 1994

A mid-week gig at The Dome in Tufnell Park. Oddly exactly a year to the day since I'd been to my last gig at The Dome (GIG 114). March seemed to be a month for Dome concerts as out of the five gigs I'd seen here (including this year) four had been in March, with … Continue reading GIG 155: The Marionettes / Gunshot Dance / Black Vinyl Lust – The Dome, 9th March 1994

GIG 114: Vendemmian / Incubus Succubus / Junk – The Dome, 9th March 1993

This was an interesting gig on a number of levels. For starters it was the first time I saw Incubus Succubus or Vendemmian live. I got to know both bands reasonably well over the ensuing years and still know members from both today. I knew Incubus Succubus (before they replaced the c's with the k's) … Continue reading GIG 114: Vendemmian / Incubus Succubus / Junk – The Dome, 9th March 1993

GIG 104: Christian Death / Marionettes – The Dome, 30th October 1992

I was never a big fan of Christian Death, although I was a big fan of the Marionettes (or The Screaming Marionettes as they were called before they dropped the 'Screaming' for some reason) - plus on top of everything else it was almost Halloween and what better way to go and celebrate than a … Continue reading GIG 104: Christian Death / Marionettes – The Dome, 30th October 1992

GIG079: Every New Dead Ghost / Felo De Se – The Dome, 25th March 1991

Tufnell Park on a Monday night in late March. The milling of black clad figures filing themselves into the downstairs 'venue' of The Dome. It could only really mean one thing. There was a goth gig on. Every New Dead Ghost were a Nottingham based band that last for a handful of years in the … Continue reading GIG079: Every New Dead Ghost / Felo De Se – The Dome, 25th March 1991

GIG077: Sunshot / Mojo Ride – The Dome, 5th March 1991

Sunshot were a great London based band that I ended up seeing quite a few times. The three piece comprised of Maria Brannigan, Toby Bricheno (younger brother of Tim who was in All About Eve and The Sisters of Mercy) and Finnish bassist Taru Tuomisaari-Phillips. They played a kind of blend of so-called "shoegaze" with … Continue reading GIG077: Sunshot / Mojo Ride – The Dome, 5th March 1991
