My final gig of 1997. I'd managed 45 days of live music over the year and seen some fantastic bands along the way. It was Friday night, a week before Christmas, and I was out for one last hurrah before 1998 beckoned. Tonight was the turn, once again, of Inkubus Sukkubus supported by reformed 80's … Continue reading GIG 360: Inkubus Sukkubus / Screaming Dead / Mantra – The Underworld, 19th December 1997
The Underworld
GIG 359: Moonspell / Lacuna Coil – The Underworld – 15th December 1997
When I had seen Moonspell the previous year (supporting Type O Negative at The Astoria - GIG 314) they had blown me away and were a band that I definetly had on my radar to see again. So when they announced a gig at Camden's Underworld I grabbed myself a ticket and headed down after … Continue reading GIG 359: Moonspell / Lacuna Coil – The Underworld – 15th December 1997
GIG 324: Project Pitchfork / Chaos Engine – The Underworld, 3rd April 1997
Project Pitchfork had become one of my favourite bands so I was thrilled when they accounced a gig at The Underworld in Camden. Only a few stops on the tube and one of my favourite venues. It was a Thursday night, and a friends (Banshee) birthday, although he didn't come to the gig but a … Continue reading GIG 324: Project Pitchfork / Chaos Engine – The Underworld, 3rd April 1997
GIG 315: The Marionettes / Manuskript / Surface 23 – The Underworld, 29th December 1996
The Sunday between Christmas and New Years. Generally quite a quiet time for gigs as many people have fled London to visit relatives, or in post-Christmas food comas - stuffed too full with turkey and chocolate (or atleast the carnivores - of which there were more back in the 90's than today). For those of … Continue reading GIG 315: The Marionettes / Manuskript / Surface 23 – The Underworld, 29th December 1996
GIG 307 : Cries of Tammuz / Church of Babylon – The Underworld, 13th September 1996
I've been very neglectful in regards to my gig list postings. Life happened and I had very little time to continue my journey through the live music circuit and the bands I saw. I can't believe that my last gig post was back in early February - over 4 1/2 months ago! Must do better … Continue reading GIG 307 : Cries of Tammuz / Church of Babylon – The Underworld, 13th September 1996
GIG 305 : James Rays Gangwar / Sins of the Flesh II – The Underworld, 16th August 1996
It was a Friday night double bill. A gig at The Underworld to see James Rays Gangwar followed by heading across the street to Full Tilt at the Electric Ballroom for a night of goth/industrial clubbing into the wee hours of Saturday. This was the fourth time I was seeing James Ray and every time … Continue reading GIG 305 : James Rays Gangwar / Sins of the Flesh II – The Underworld, 16th August 1996
GIG 291: Download / Twilight Circus In Dub / Naked Apes – The Underworld, 15th June 1996
Download were a Skinny Puppy splinter project. I was (and still am) a massive fan of Skinny Puppy so Download was a group already on my radar so when I saw a London gig announced I immediately picked up a ticket. It was on a Saturday night and I'd been working in the record store … Continue reading GIG 291: Download / Twilight Circus In Dub / Naked Apes – The Underworld, 15th June 1996
GIG 289: Rosetta Stone / De Volganes – The Underworld, 26th May 1996
It was the Spring Bank Holiday weekend so we were enjoying having three days off from work, Sunday night rolled around and it was time to head to Camden for an evenings entertainment at The Underworld. I'd seen Roseetta Stone the previous year (GIG 205), at the same venue, but they hadn't really grabbed me. … Continue reading GIG 289: Rosetta Stone / De Volganes – The Underworld, 26th May 1996
GIG 283: Inaura / Children On Stun / Dream City Film Club – The Underworld, 9th May 1996
I remember this gig really well. I'd been given a ticket for it by EMI to see Inaura, a new band for them that was playing a gig to coincide with the release of a single. I already knew Inaura as they'd previously been called Polaroid and had been on a very small indie label … Continue reading GIG 283: Inaura / Children On Stun / Dream City Film Club – The Underworld, 9th May 1996
GIG 262: James Rays Gangwar / Suspiria – The Underworld, 26th January 1996
I was a big fan of James Ray. I had albums from a variety of his bands (James Rays Gangwar, James Ray & The Performance, The Sisterhood, etc) and several regularly made the turntable or CD player at home. This was the third time I was seeing him live, with the previous times being a … Continue reading GIG 262: James Rays Gangwar / Suspiria – The Underworld, 26th January 1996
