Menswear 8 Camden Underworld 01 Nov 1995 A radio one show, was billed as Longpigs and Fluffy and Menswear were surprise headliners. The glory days of britpop! They got in big trouble for swearing live on the radio. Think I have the day right, let me know if you know better...

Rate Menswear

Under Neath What 7 Astoria 11 May 1990 I was in the queue for this gig and bought a fanzine off someone. Did I know Metallica were doing a secret gig just a few doors down at the Marquee club? Why on earth did I stay at the Astoria? Bah...

Rate Queens Of The Stone Age

stellastarr* 7 Islington Academy 24 Nov 2003 plus The Ordinary Boys and The 22s. Looks like everyone was there to see the Ordinary Boys, but I thought they were a bit ordinary... stellastarr were OK, not quite as convincing as on record though.

Rate stellastarr*

Skid Row 7 Docklands Arena 22 Nov 1991 plus LA Guns and Love / Hate. The latter announced a "secret" gig they were doing the next day in London, I should have gone they were one of my fave bands of the day.

Rate Skid Row

KISS 7 Finsbury Park 05 Jul 1997 plus Rage Against The Machine, Skunk Anansie, Thunder and Three Colours Red and L7. Got freebies from the NME and drank all the money I saved. Kind of lost it about five songs in and ended up in Covent Garden.

Rate KISS

Iron Maiden 6.5 Hammersmith Odeon 18 Oct 1990 Was on a training course in Hounslow, turned up too late for support band Wolfsbane, and anyway we had no tickets, but got given some by someone outside, I am sure it was Tommy Vance. Apparently we saw Jonathon King there too.

Rate Iron Maiden

The Tears 5 Astoria 16 Feb 2005 Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler, weren't they in a band together before? One of the NME gigs, support included The Magic Numbers I think but we stayed in the pub and missed them all.
