All the other gigs I saw three afterwards (Big Country again, Iron Maiden, Black Crowes) I was downstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

french_disko Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Was Caesar's Palace the place down stairs on Crown Street??? Was trying to remember the name of that place the other day....Nah, Caeser's was upstairs somewhere in Crown Street. The entrance was across the road from MacAndrews / Star & Garter / Whatever it's called - is there not a bakers next door at the top of Windmill Brae? There's still a canopy / overhang over the door there - not sure what's in there now. Saw a few Metal gigs in there back in my Metal Years - Atom Seed, Bolt Thrower, Paradise Lost, Mordred (who were great at the time!).

Paulscoconutass Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 The first ever gig Onion T played was at the Lemon Tree way back in July 2002.Can't remember the first ever 'gig' I went to, was probably a singing kettle thing, or a Kef-stravoganza featuring Green Dayz and Dink 182 and quik, or P.o.o. in old drakes.

Larsen B Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 watever happened to them? shite but hyped to fuck and then vanished! (unsurprisingly)Well i rather disagree with the shite part, but Sony refuse to release their third album until they come up with a single that is a hit.
