Grind – with Tracy Bonham, Velveteen, Jennifer Trynin, Sextiles at The Middle East Cafe – Review

September 1, 1994

Not clean or intricate but powerful and catchy. A powerful if uncomplicated noise. Deserving of the headliner’s slot.

Bison – Review

September 1, 1994

Smart angst-pop. This tape hides twice the musical depth of their louder-than-God live show beneath crappy production.

Bad Mother Seed – with Love/Hate at The Rat – Review

September 1, 1994

The sound was pleasing to those who appreciate good, heavy attitude music, and yet they seemed like they were holding back.

Heroes Jargon – Column

September 1, 1994

Alice Cooper The Last Temptation recruits Mr. Vertigo himself, Neil Gaiman, giving Marvel a weak rendition of the comic darkness that has become his trademark.

Women of the SS – at The Middle East Cafe – Review

September 1, 1994

The progression of degradation zipped along and was cheered on by the audience. If viewed as a band, well, the tape loops are muddy and uninspiring.

Velveteen – with Tracy Bonham, Sextiles, Grind, Jennifer Trynin at The Middle East Cafe- Review

September 1, 1994

Heavy keyboard filled in the guitar blanks and lent a bit of distinction to their sound (a la Stone Roses/Charolette’s Wheel). Musically familiar.

Trip Master Monkey – at Local 186 – Review

September 1, 1994

I was expecting the standard, college alternative. What I got was alternative with a healthy dose of punk agitation.

Tracy Bonham – with Velveteen, Sextiles, Grind, Jennifer Trynin at The Middle East Cafe – Review

September 1, 1994

Tracy Bonham performed catchy and sing-songy songs that were girly and cute but began to get on your nerves with the politely timed “yelp” chorus.

Supahead – with Incus at Rockpile North – Review

September 1, 1994

As plastered as he was, Darryl Shepard led fellow ‘heads through the heavy, stomp/dirge paces that made Headcleaner nominees for numerous awards.

Sextiles – with Tracy Bonham, Velveteen, Grind, Jennifer Trynin at The Middle East Cafe – Review

September 1, 1994

One hell of a drummer and loud, loud, slap bass. The music was a direct contrast to the singer’s voice, which was ex-sques-ite-ly sweet, melodious and flowery.
