Suede at the Electric Ballroom, Thursday, 6th of October 2022
I have been accused, at times, of only writing positive reviews in this blog. Now it’s time to rectify that. Welcome, then, to the tale of the worst Suede gig I’ve ever been to.

“Coming Up” by Suede is an album that soundtracked a period of huge transformation in my life.
Screaming at Suede by the seaside: a perfect Saturday night in October.
Although not exactly a gig, this was the first time I saw Suede perform live in nearly 14 years. After a long, long wait, finally my Suede curse was broken!
I last saw Suede at the Hammersmith Apollo just over a year ago, an utterly fantastic gig which left me itching to see them again as soon as possible.
t was June 2002, and nine long months had passed since my last gig – my longest gap between gigs since I’d arrived in London nearly six years previously.
On this day in 1999, Suede released their fourth album “Head Music”. Here are my rather excitable scribblings about that day, written in my diary exactly 20 years ago.
This turned out to be my last Suede gig for three years. A good thing then that it was such an incredible one.
A plastic ticket inviting the painted people to get off our heads to Head Music at the Asylum.
Suede at the Astoria on a Saturday night in 1999. It doesn’t get much better than that.
