Bim Skala Bim – at the New England Ska Festival – Review

November 1, 1997

Bim put on an awesome set pulling songs from all over their over six-album repertoire. John Cameron played the organ with one hand, and sax with the other.

Get Smart from Smut – Fiction

November 1, 1997

Some of us want sex, not a cheerleading section shouting progress reports and instructions. Why does anyone keep yelling “Fuck my ass” when it’s being done?

Amazing Royal Crowns – at the New England Ska Festival – Review

November 1, 1997

King is a charismatic vocalist, and the Colonel plays guitar like a hell-bent rockabilly god. A perfect mix of rockabilly, punk, and old school rock ‘n’ roll.

Moby – at The Big Top Festival – Review

November 1, 1997

Funny how “Electronica” has so many trappings of rock. After three songs, Moby stripped off his shirt, wiped his face with it, and threw it into the audience.

Cine-Trash – Column

November 1, 1997

Even angels fear to tread here, unless of course they’re portrayed by Kim Cattrall.

Loop Guru – at The Big Top Festival – Review

November 1, 1997

The samples are flying, the sticks are flying, the whole crowd is flying. Their new disc, Loop Bites Dog (Mammoth) is amazing, but this is fuckin’ INCREDIBLE.

Headrillaz – at The Big Top Festival – Review

November 1, 1997

With guitar, bass, drumset, vocals and keyboards, the energy poured off the stage with a gorgeous rapper spewing out words and rhythms like it was nothing.

Emperion – at The Big Top Festival – Review

November 1, 1997

Not bad, but after all the manic energy we had seen emanating from both stages, the two mixer boys twiddling knobs didn’t really cut it.

Eat Static – at The Big Top Festival – Review

November 1, 1997

Eat Static tried to charge us all up again, sounding almost industrial-dance. The beats were hitting hard, the need to dance once again strong.

BT – at The Big Top Festival – Review

November 1, 1997

Using no guitars, no drums, nothing but a series of ELP-stacked keyboards (is the acronimity a coincidence? I think so), BT rock us with driving, heavy beats.
