London Astoria 157 Charing Cross Road, London WC2H 0EN

Plus Godflesh and Bomb Everything (AKA) Bomb Disneyland. Got a video of this gig, you can see me stagediving on it, and now someone has put up the whole show 1. Isn't that worse quality than my bit though?

You'd probably not see a gig like this these days. There was local controversy and talk of the council banning them from appearing. Someone sent some strippers along to appear with the band to stir up a bit more shock to report on.

The date on the ticket is wrong as the gig was rescheduled, again related to the local council not letting them play.

I attended this one, more from this year in my gigography for 1991. Part of every gig I went to from 1987 to 2026. A natural step from my Best Gigs Ever weblog post. Yeah I know very nerdy, let's let that go though, I'm having fun remembering this stuff.
