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
GIG 258: London After Midnight / The Horatii – The Underworld, 29th December 1995
Friday night, two nights until New Years Eve, but a bit of a repeat from the previous week. Gig at The Underworld followed by parting at Full Tile in the Electric Ballroom. This evenings bands were two that I'd heard of but had never seen. I had some London After Midnight tracks but think I … Continue reading GIG 258: London After Midnight / The Horatii – The Underworld, 29th December 1995
GIG 256: Sheep On Drugs / Papa Brittle / Leech Woman – The Underworld, 22nd December 1995
The Friday before Christmas meant a final chance to see a load of friends out clubbing at The Electric Ballroom before the holiday break - and seeing that Sheep on Drugs were playing The Underworld (just around the corner from the Ballroom) it was a clear and obvious choice of what the pre-Ballroom activity was … Continue reading GIG 256: Sheep On Drugs / Papa Brittle / Leech Woman – The Underworld, 22nd December 1995
GIG 248: Incubus Succubus / Dream Disciples – The Underworld, 10th November 1995
Friday night in Camden was not unusual. I used to head to Camden most Fridays for The Electric Ballroom (mixing things up with the occasional Friday nights clubbing at Rockscene held at The Astoria). What we did before hand used to change around - sometimes drinking in Camden at The Dev or World's End, sometimes … Continue reading GIG 248: Incubus Succubus / Dream Disciples – The Underworld, 10th November 1995
GIG 246: Pete Tong / The Grid / N-Trance / Sunscreem – The Underworld, 3rd November 1995
Tonights Camden Live session was broadcast live on Radio 1 from The Underworld. Billed as 'Pete Tong featuring Special Guests' the ticket has confused me for some time as my notes never made mention of Pete Tong. But having looked into the night online to try and work it out it seems that the evening … Continue reading GIG 246: Pete Tong / The Grid / N-Trance / Sunscreem – The Underworld, 3rd November 1995
GIG 244: Echobelly / Audioweb / Northern Uproar – The Underworld, 30th October 1995
It was The Camden Crawl - a week of gigs from both established, new, and up-and-coming artists playing a variety of venues in Camden Town. There were a lot of music venues in Camden so it was a pretty busy schedule. I'd picked up tickets for a couple of the gigs, plus was going to … Continue reading GIG 244: Echobelly / Audioweb / Northern Uproar – The Underworld, 30th October 1995
