Events:
Tad Portsmouth Polytechnic 13 Jun 1990 First time they visited WITHOUT Nirvana in tow, just my luck...
Rate Tad
Skid Row 7 10Docklands 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
Sheep On Drugs South Parade Pier 08 May 1993 Power broke down during their set. They're not really acoustic unplugged types, and they stormed off.
Rate Sheep On Drugs
Toyah The Wedgewood Rooms 22 Mar 1994 Caberet, hosted by Lee Hurst, with TV Smith, Dave Spikey, Pooka, Crisis Twins and almost certainly the Raymond and Mr Timpkins revue. Not sure this date is right, thought they were all on Fridays...
Rate Toyah
Reading Festival Reading Festival 28 Aug 1994 Just went for the day, and we picked the worst day by far looks like, RHCP disappointed. I remember They Might Be Giants and Echbelly and Ginger Wildhearts playing with a broken arm.

Thurman 8 10The Joiners 14 Sep 1995 Britpop, I thought they were the greatest at the time but it's not all aged wellRate Thurman
Fluffy 7 10The Joiners 27 Sep 1995 All girl rock, loved them at the time, they basically played gigs in their pantsRate Fluffy
Echobelly 8 10The Joiners 19 Oct 1995 Possibly this was 1994, I thought they were one of the first bands I saw at the Joiners, but I've got the details from Oliver Gray's gig list.Rate Echobelly
Menswear 8 10Camden 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
Oasis Earls Court 04 Nov 1995 Did they have the Bootleg Beatles again? Or am I misremembering the Southampton gig?
Rate Oasis
Mike Flowers Pops Portsmouth Pyramids 02 Feb 1996 So who was it actually played the Pyramids this night? I know I was at the Mike Flowers Pops one, I remember holding the door open to a radio reporter so they could report from the gig using the payphone in the lobby, as their satellite phone wasn't worki
Rate Mike Flowers Pops
Mansun The Joiners 17 Jun 1996 Was this the gig where they were still called Manson, and had at least one extra band member?
Rate Mansun
Belle & Sebastian Manchester Town Hall 27 Dec 1997 Went to both nights, but not the extra afternoon show they did. Shambolic, but fun

Lilys The Garage 10 Feb 1998 They did a Levi ad I think, we went for the support Hooverdam. Not sure why I've put this as Highbury Garage I think the gig was in Hoxton, but can find no reference online...
Rate Lilys
The Beta Band Electric Ballroom 30 Sep 1998 Tonight's venue is crammed with indie's brightest and best, all happily expectant
according to the review in the Independent, that's me in particular to which they were referring...
Rate The Beta Band
Elastica Astoria 29 Jan 2000 NME Brats show, think they'd lost it by this point...
Rate Elastica
The Cuban Boys The Garage 08 Aug 2000 Don't recall if they did their "Hamster Dance" single, I do remember an ace cover of "Self Esteem", though I could possiblybe mixing it up with an earlier Helen Love gig... Plus The Fighting Cocks.
Rate The Cuban Boys
Bloodhound Gang 8 10Astoria 16 Aug 2000 They did a 10 kebab challenge on stage and Daphne and Celeste were there. And so was I!Rate Bloodhound Gang
Rachel Stamp? Koko 07 Nov 2000 Or some band connected with them. They were dressed as KISS I think, did they do KISS covers too? Was this the band that Chris Dale from Atom Seed was also in? Two gigs in one night, very drunk by the time I got to this one...
Rate Rachel Stamp?
Phoenix 8 10Mean Fiddler 25 Jan 2001 80s style rock, they did a Cheap Trick cover. Supported by Turin Brakes apparently, I went with Neil and Camilla.Rate Phoenix
Camera Obscura Water Rats Theatre 23 Sep 2002 plus support from Jesus and Mary Chain's sister. Think I went to both gigs they did here, 2 days in a row.
Rate Camera Obscura
stellastarr* 7 10Islington 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*
The Tears 9 10Heaven 16 Dec 2004 plus The Subways. First official gig for Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler's new band, though they went and did a couple of sneaky warmups before this in Oxford and somewhere else. Not that great really.Rate The Tears
The Tears 5 10Astoria 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.Rate The Tears
The Dirty Pretty Things 9.5 10Leas Cliff Hall 15 Dec 2006 Carl Barat of The Libertines, and his new band, they're very good... Plus Hot Club de Paris and Mando Diao. Hey, we went to this one!Rate The Dirty Pretty Things
