Actually, that seemed like a golden period for seeing bands. It was almost like their home countries had rejected or were indifferent to them, but we lapped it up.
Did you go to any of these, demonrail666: Dinosaur JR supporting Sonic Youth; Nirvana at the School of Oriental Studies; Nirvana, Mudhoney & Tad together on the Lame Fest tour; Einsturzende Neubauten at the Astoria...
The great thing was, as I remember, that when most bands played it would coincide with some signing session in the old Rough Trade shop which was beneath Slam City Skates in Neals Yard in Covent Garden. I don't remember the name of the man who used to work there (always dressed in a shirt & tie, brown tweed jacket and beige trousers or something) but it seemed he was always spotted in the crowd whenever a good band was playing, haha. I wish I could thank him for putting me on to B.A.L.L one day.
