Fluffy – 5 Live – Interview

September 1, 1996

An interview with vocalist Amanda Roots

Decoryah – Fall-Dark Waters – Review

September 1, 1996

If you’re a sucker for dark, ominous metal, Decoryah is a treat. By the end of the nine songs of Fall-Dark Waters, you will feel you’ve experienced a lifetime.

Death Ride 69 – Screaming Down The Gravity Well – Review

September 1, 1996

It’s not often you see a female-fronted electro-industrial band as vicious as this one. It’s Beat Mistress from Thrill Kill Kult, and she’s one cool bitch.

Das Klown – Laughing Stalk – Review

September 1, 1996

I used to really like the Dead Kennedys, and Das Klown sound like a lightweight, more technically proficient DKs.

Couch of Eureka – Year of the Zombie – Review

September 1, 1996

Neat-o pop-punk stuff in a Superchunk/early Pixies vein. They get spacy where they should get spacy, and they pretty much rock everywhere else.

Congo Norvell – The Dope The Lies The Vaseline – Review

September 1, 1996

Not without its finer points, but overall, the dope has too many seeds and not enough resin, and the lies aren’t big enough to lengthen Pinocchio’s proboscis.

Collide – Beneath The Skin – Review

September 1, 1996

Collide creates a sound that is at once mysterious and obvious. KaRIN’s voice soars above us, we feel the rocky earth in Statik’s cyber-industrial foundations.

Chinchilla – “Little King” / “Up My Sleeve” – Review

September 1, 1996

What separates the San Diego all-girl quartet Chinchilla from this mess is that they’re fun in a bouncy yet art-damaged way.

Butterscott – “Bartleby” – Review

September 1, 1996

Butterscott come across like a self-conscious neo-hippy outfit that’s derivative of Talking Heads, R.E.M., and Hootie and the you-know-whats.

Buckethead – The Day of the Robot – Review

September 1, 1996

Enigmatic, even for the Bay Area, Buckethead has shown himself to be a leader in innovation, be it his ever-identifiable atonal shred, or simple fashion tips.
