London Astoria 157 Charing Cross Road, London WC2H 0EN
Plus Fluffy. Found in an old Melody Maker gig guide.
I did not attend this one as far as I know, but if I keep tabs on things I wasn't at it helps me work out what I attended.
I saw Fluffy at least 3 times; Southampton Joiners ('95), Menswear @ Camden Underworld ('95), and NME Bratbus tour @ London Astoria ('96), though I still have some bragging tagging to do so this may go up.

Yep, deliberately unstyled.
