The Last Cry

OK, I'm putting this here (they are still going!) as according to my records I saw this band a few times and have a hazy memory of setlist nabbing. They were 'goth' and that must have been Annette's influence as I think she was seeing the lead singer... We were such good chums... for about 7 months. What was her surname?

And now it's 2013 I spent my 'working' from home days watching this sort of thing.

The Celebrated Workingman

Oh, look at this lot. I don't hate it - and it looks like the sort of gig I'd've gone to in 1990, enjoyed very very much and fallen asleep in GCSE retake in the portacabin the next day. 

The Celebrated Workingman on Facebook. I'm starting to feel v ignorant now - surely Kingmaker didn't coin this phrase?

Unidentified Setlist #2

Who is this? It's probably meant to be BONG and FISHES.

Kingmaker

Someone did a cover of Celebrated Working Man! Who would do that? I'm the only person who cares, and I don't even care.

The High Writers care. And here they are on Facebook. 

This setlist is written on the back of a flyer for Silverfish and Gallon Drunk (still going! New album out 2013! Touring!) at the Brighton Zap Club so, according to my records, this Kingmaker gig was 5th November 1991.

That Petrol Emotion

I sensed that this lot might still be going but, not so much. Looks like having children did for them. Congrats on the baby anyway! 

This gig was at Portsmouth Pyramids with my best mate Nicky and her brother Sam on 26 November 1992. This blog isn't in chronological order. 

Abandon was my favourite song. Can't remember any of the others. It's the top video on this page Last I heard (personally) was that one of TPE worked in the accessibility department of Sky.

Pop Will Eat Itself

According to my records this gig was 12th November 1990 at Worthing Assembly Halls. I remember a load of hairy, beer-monster chaps outside and a VW Golf with a bin through its windscreen. A bunch of us from VIth Form went, including Annette the Goth (90's Goth, not 00's Goth) whose surname I can't remember. She had unused tickets to Donnington Monsters of Rock on her pinboard in her bedroom as she'd been too ill to go. Heartbreaking.

Support Act: My records do not show this information.

This is the first gig I ever went to. Goodbye Mr Mackenzie at... at... uhm, the little theatre at The Pavilion in Brighton on 1st May 1989. 

The band signed it! My friend and I were 15 and obviously rabid, yet harmless fans and they were all awfully nice to us. Shirley Manson became very successful and famous with Garbage. 

Support Act: Almost Charlotte 

+ What do you think was the biggest highlight of the band?

For me it was The Band Of Holy Joy gig and the day that I saw our single in the window of the legendary Rounder Records shop in Brighton! It is though undeniably nice to still know that people have an interest in us for a single that came out 20 years ago.

Introduction

I'm 38 and I went to a lot of gigs in Brighton and London, UK in the 1990's. I recently moved flat and dug out a load of set-lists (and autographs) I'd collected. Some of the bands are obvious (to me) but a lot aren't so I'm posting them to see if anyone can identify them. I went to see Kingmaker a lot and I do not, of course, have to justify my music taste, past or present, to anyone. 

I can't be the only person with an unidentified setlist collection so do send them.
