albert 17th Apr 2017		Live Music Interstellar Overcoat @ 229	Interstellar Overdrive (Pink Floyd tribute band) played Piper At The Gates Of Dawn + Arnold Layne + Candy and a Currant Bun + See Emily Play + Apples & Oranges + Vegetable Man + Scream Thy Last Scream, and were pretty good.
albert 17th Apr 2017		Live Music Orange Deluxe @ The Camden Falcon	Also listed were The Shift, though I cannot remember if they played.
albert 17th Apr 2017		Live Music Feline @ The Camden Falcon	Polar Bear were originally advertised but were replaced by Boom Boom Mancini, I don't know if they were the Polar Bear who later changed their name to Snow Patrol.
albert 9th Apr 2017		Live Music The Knack [UK] @ Middle Earth	The Third Year is probably The Third Ear Band but I'm just following what it says on the flyer. Also Piccadilly Line are on vinyl as The Picadilly Line or just Picadilly Line. ....stoned hippies just can't get it together.‎
albert 8th Apr 2017		Live Music My Bloody Valentine @ ULU	My flatmate at the time hung out with Wolfhounds, he didn't tell me about this gig though !
albert 8th Apr 2017		Live Music These Immortal Souls @ Camden Underworld	Added advert from the inky press, note the incorrect band name, guessing that was Underworld's mistake.
albert 8th Apr 2017		Live Music The Chemistry Set @ The White Horse	Sadly the great White Horse is now a rubbish gastro pub.
albert 8th Apr 2017		Live Music Grandaddy @ The Monarch	I remember walking into the Monarch and seeing an old flyer and thinking 'aghh missed it', Grandaddy had been getting radio plays so I was aware of them, though it turns out that they had been gigging around London and I'd managed to miss all the small gigs. By the way The Monarch in those days was the pub venue which later became The Barfly, and erm, now The Barfly goes by the name The Camden Assembly. There is another venue a few doors away that cheekily changed its name to The Monarch some years after the original Monarch when it was under The Barfly moniker.
albert 8th Apr 2017		Live Music Jonathan Fire*Eater @ The Camden Falcon	Check the date please, I thought Jonathan Fire*Eater formed 1993 in America.
albert 8th Apr 2017		Live Music Jonathan Fire*Eater @ Union Chapel	Dates for this tour were rescheduled for some reason (see adverts). I could not add details for 2 venues as they are not yet added to the database, "Oxford - The Point" & "Derby Loft"
albert 7th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Revelations: A Musical Anthology For Glastonbury Fayre	It would be nice to know what the whole package originally was. My copy has a printed plastic cover (not in great shape) and the sleeve is a fold-open card poster if I remember correctly. I have heard there were inserts such as a pyramid, flyers etc. Please enlighten me, thanks.
albert 7th Apr 2017		Live Music GWAR @ Rock City	Got the details from a full page advert in the Melody Maker, the image is cut down as it showed all the gigs for the entire month. Rock City seems like a good venue.
albert 7th Apr 2017		Live Music Bongwater @ Camden Underworld	Looking through piles of the old music press for scrapbook cuttings I am happy to say there were very few special gigs that escaped my roving eye, this alas was one gig that I somehow missed. Looks like you could not buy advance tickets, but that was quite common at the time. Probably missed through pressures of work as I would certainly have noted this one as a 'must see', Bongwater were very special on LP.

albert 7th Apr 2017		Magazine Sounds	The Sounds Machine EP1 details on 45Cat, features The Mission, Throwing Muses, Pixies, Dinosaur Jr.

albert 6th Apr 2017		Live Music Mudhoney @ School Of Oriental And African Studies	added another cutting to show tour dates.
albert 6th Apr 2017		Live Music The Ullulators @ The Crypt (under St Pauls Church Deptford)	Here are The Ullulators from around the period, (very Club Dog & Vertigo scene): [YouTube Video]
albert 6th Apr 2017		Live Music Pixies @ University of East Anglia	check the date please, 21 April 1979 ?
albert 6th Apr 2017		Live Music Pixies @ Corn Exchange	Can somebody who attended the gig please confirm the date since the advert lists it as Sunday 23rd.
albert 6th Apr 2017		Magazine Sounds	Sounds Blasts EP1 details on 45Cat, features Iggy Pop, Fishbone, Dan Reed Network, Blue Aeroplanes.
albert 6th Apr 2017		Magazine NME	David Gedge, Guy Chadwick and Ian McCulloch joined Mr Peel on the cover but Mark E. Smith refused to share a photo with the Bunnyman (according to Steve Hanley's book). The biggest disappointment though was Fergal Sharkey and The Undertones not performing.
albert 5th Apr 2017		Live Music The One @ The Astoria	The One, here, was Peter Perrett's band. Headless Chickens were probably not Thom Yorke's earlier band, just in case anybody asks, well maybe they were but Thom had left by then ;) Checking other gigs I see that there was another band 'The One' who played in 1975, and a band just called 'One' or '1' who played gigs around 1989 in London and featured Steve Hovington from B-Movie. Confusing.
albert 5th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Butthole Surfers - Rembrandt Pussyhorse	I believe Redpunk's cover image is of the first UK/Euro pressing with the band name along the bottom of the sleeve.
albert 5th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Pixies - Doolittle	Correct info about the first UK pressing, referring to their double page advert in The Melody Maker 22 April 1989, pages 10 & 11. Available on LP, Cassette and CD. The initial pressing of 30,000 included an illustrated lyric booklet. If you bought the album at a Chain-with-no-name store then you could also get a free Doolittle carrier bag to hold you purchase in, however I happen to remember that they had so many carrier bags that generally they were given out to all and sundry purchases regardless if it was Pixies or not - I got 2 more carrier bags given to me over the later months. Also available to purchase separately were a set of 9 postcards designed with images from the lyric booklet, and likewise a set of 9 posters, these items are often cited as being free with the LP when in fact they were not, you had to buy them in addition to the LP.
albert 5th Apr 2017		Magazine Sounds	Been spending time browsing/chucking old magazines, this is a sad demise of Sounds and the collapse looks obvious when scanning the magazines in sequence - they simply have no focus and no cohesion. In this issue we have part one (of six) of an article "The Great American Adventure" to alert us, supposedly to what is happening Stateside, the 'best' they offer here from the West Coast are Junkyard, Stickdog, Tragic Mulatto and Firehose (fIREHOSE as its normally typed) and hardly likely to excite anybody. The features on the bands are very bitty, not really telling us anything. But then there is also a free EP which includes some American bands but it is no tie-in to the main article, so its adrift, what is the point of that.... well I suppose it did get me to buy the issue! Generally there is no substance, the next issue of Sounds heralds Sylvia Juncosa, Giant Sand, Naked Prey, The Sidewinders and American Music Club, and a couple of issues onwards the live reviews are slagging off the bands they are here trying to tell us to go check out. Sounds closed for good after a couple more tedious years.
albert 5th Apr 2017		Magazine Sounds	Sounds Blasts EP3 details on 45Cat, features The Perfect Disaster, Mega City Four, Cerebral Fix, Killdozer, Pussy Galore.
albert 5th Apr 2017		Magazine Sounds	Sounds Blasts EP2 details on 45Cat, features Sonic Youth, Prong, Pailhead, Thin White Rope.
albert 30th Mar 2017		Live Music Pere Ubu @ Royal Festival Hall	Spotted an advert for this in an old NME and was quite surprised to see 15-60-75 (The Numbers Band) played support. Advert under "Outro" banner.
