Random House of Soul – at Local 186 – Review

June 1, 1994

This might not have been their best set ever, but they pulled it off with a smile, closing with an unplugged Sly Stone cover.

Phoebe Legere – at The Rat – Review

June 1, 1994

Seeing her live is a trip. She’s a distillation of punk angst, alternative flightiness, ’60s idealism, ’70s sexuality, and ’90s spiritualism.

Heroes Jargon – Column

June 1, 1994

Bruce Wayne is back, but is not yet ready to tangle with his psychotic replacement. He’s undergoing extensive training from the ninja-killer, Lady Shiva.

Orangutang – with 6L6 at The Middle East Cafe – Review

June 1, 1994

Chris Dyas, his pockets filled with facial expressions barely contained beneath a ball cap. Slightly self-deprecating and sarcastic, sadly cynical and smirky.

Thought Junkie – Review

June 1, 1994

Catchy, plodding, heavy metal-gone grunge with slick layers of harmony tracks, chugging guitars, and Twisted Rootsy howling vocals.

The Wildhearts – Earth Vs. The Wildhearts – Review

June 1, 1994

Standard ’80s rock juiced with ’90s punk sarcasm and energy, broken into 12 songs littered with hooks, humor, sneering, bubblegum, and junk culture overload.

Sweaty Nipples – Review

June 1, 1994

Three people yell, two play bass, two play guitar, two play drums, all make nonsensical statements to the press as to the underlying meaning of existence.

Sugartooth – Review

June 1, 1994

Think of an Olds 442, one that can rip up the roadways and still prowl around calmly, looking slick and menacing. Sugartooth is like that 442.

Nine Inch Nails – with Marilyn Manson at The Cyclorama – Review

June 1, 1994

Fans packed the Cyclorama to see and hear their tormented, beloved Trent scream, hiss, whisper, and howl out the pain and rage that comes with being alive.

M.I.R.V. – Cosmodrome – Review

June 1, 1994

Hmm. A disturbed adolescent just happens to find a guitar in the trash, starts gigging, gets blow jobs, and becomes the post-apocalyptic messiah.
