1994
Mon, 31 Oct 1994 Archeon Alphen a/d Rijn
Fri, 24 Jun 1994 So What Gouda
Only gig ever in So What in our then home town of Gouda (they'd never have us, probably because they're a bit of a pretentious bunch, really). A dispute with the soundman about what garage music sounds like ended with the guitarist playing at full blast without the aid of the PA system - they way it should be! :-)
Fri, 17 Jun 1994 Gonz Gouda
Sat, 4 Jun 1994 LVC Leiden
Wed, 25 May 1994 Paradiso Amsterdam
Hitting the big time in the Small Room.
Spring 1994 De Tunnel Boskoop
Local talent hunt. We won the first round, so they changed the rules to make sure all the bands of round one ended up ranking below all the bands of round two.
Fri, 25 Mar 1994 Vrije Vloer Utrecht
Fri, 11 Feb 1994 Gonz Gouda
1993
Sat, 11 Dec 1993 [some youth joint] Koudekerk a/d Rijn
Is this where my mighty organ broke down and someone from the audience had to run home to lend us his/her electronic toy organ? Can't remember.
Fri, 3 Dec 1993 Koornbeurs Delft
We almost got into a fist fight with the band we were opening for! In hindsight, upstaging the main act was not a good idea.
Sat, 14 Aug 1993 De Greep Gouda
Cut short after 45 minutes because the rain was threatening to electrocute the guitarist through his infamous custom fuzzbox power supply.
Sat, 14 Aug 1993 [some open air festivalette] Waddinxveen
We only played for 10 minutes because we had to rush off to the Gouda gig.
Sat, 12 Jun 1993 Stathuys Leiden
Fri, 28 May 1993 Gonz Gouda
The Gonz was our home base, really. Except that turnaround of both visitors and staff was so fast there that after six months there would be nobody left remembering our previous gig, but in our mind it was our home base.
Sat, 13 Mar 1993 private party Den Haag
1992
Formation of The 1-2-5 (no records on gigs before early 1993 survive).
