Chance to Shine – Review

November 1, 1995

Strike your pose and lie in a pile of books with this one. Yes, your run of the mill Morrissey fanzine, however this is imported from the land of la la la’s.

Soupbaby – Review

November 1, 1995

Fun and funky, just how I like my breakfast music. I found myself tapping my toenails after a few bars of these jazzy cats.

The Moors – at the Anon CD Release Party at The Middle East and T.T. the Bear’s – Review

November 1, 1995

Celtic ambiance and mournful tunes. Really dug the flute, but too bad there was some kind of low-frequency hum that drowned it out and buzzed the speaker cabs.

An interview with Cynthia Von Buhler and Adam Buhler

Smackmelon – Blue Hour – Review

November 1, 1995

Made up of former members of Bullet LaVolta, Voodoo Dolls, and Orangutang, this three-piece put its own creative spin on the Bob Mould/Sugar/Hüsker Dü sound.

Sinister – Hate – Review

November 1, 1995

Ignoring anything resembling diversity within or between songs, Sinister just plain play mind-numbingly fast, trudgingly slow, and thoroughly demonic songs.

Show Business Giants – Let’s Have A Talk With The Dead – Review

November 1, 1995

Show Business Giants are a “supergroup,” with former or current members of NoMeansNo, DOA, the Hanson Brothers, Hissanol, and some guy named Sam.

Shatterproof – Slip It Under The Door – Review

November 1, 1995

Grab Shatterproof’s debut album. Its poppy psych-mope wrist-perforatin’ plaint that actually works for a change.

The Great American Beer Festival – Review

November 1, 1995

I scrambled to pack. Pirate shirt, leather pants, aspirin, condoms. Forget a notebook. After so much drinking, I’d couldn’t hold a pen straight. Tape recorder.

Pusher – Problems – Review

November 1, 1995

Sgt. Pepper meets Lenny Kravitz for a drink in San Francisco. They cop some greenbud on Haight Street and, after rolling a fatty, go out cruising for girls.
