I was just wondering if any of the forum members can remember any of the line-ups for the early megadogs.

I remember seeing Orbital once or twice at the rocket in the early 90's , and at Brixton academy new years eve 93/94 and 94/95, but cannnot remeber any of the other acts ( except the ozric tentacles NYE 93). I also went to a great line-up which included underworld and the Grid.

Megadog will always hold a great place in my heart , as will Orbital

Eventually (at some point this year, allegedly!), the Megadog website will be launched here - http://www.megadog.co.uk/ - something I've been waiting for a long time to appear!

With regards to other artists, essentially it's a who's who of electronic music - i.e. Aphex Twin, Meat Beat Manifesto, Autechre, Eat Static, System 7, The Black Dog, 808 State, Drum Club, etc...

Orbital and Midi Circus crew:



In 1993, the Megadog tour that Orbital were involved in (Midi Circus) included the following dates:

Midi Circus

The Megadog Midi Circus Tour, included Orbital, the Aphex Twin, Drum Club, Eat Static, Spooky, System 7 and Underworld.

June 8 Leeds Town & Country Club
June 9 Brighton Centre
June 9 Sheffield Leadmill
June 10 Manchester Academy
June 11 Bristol Anson Rooms

(June 9th and June 11th have duplicate entries, btw!)

And for an article from 1993 on Megadog, check here:

And another one here

yeah I've been waiting for the megadog website to get up and running for a long time as well ! Here's hoping it does !

Thanks for the info and article links usernick ! got a few old mixmags and NME's tucked away in my old man's garage, so might have to have a root around to try and find out who played at some of the gigs.

The brixton show 93/94 is up there with Glastonbury 1994 in terms of best ever live gig for me. When I listen to "Monday" it takes me back there to the exact feeling and state of mind

they did a one off in Manchester, 22 nov 2003
