Gwar – with The Ex-Cops at Pearl Street – Review August 1, 1994 Spewing blood and gore from the many on-stage executions, Gwar cranked out speed metal and power stomp extolling the virtues of smoking crack.
Gigolo Aunts – with Buffalo Tom, Lemonheads at Great Woods – Review August 1, 1994 While Flippin’ Out is a very nice group of lushly produced pop songs, they decided to forgo their staple background vocals. The girls did scream however.
Fleshflower – at Lyon’s Den – Review August 1, 1994 Vocalist/guitarist Doug Thoms has a real presence on stage with his long, frizzy hair and pork chop sideburns. Fleshflower has range and talent.

Buffalo Tom – with Gigolo Aunts, Lemonheads at Great Woods – Review August 1, 1994 Bill Janovitz was everywhere and the songs rang large. This was a sincere and unpretentious performance.
Alice Donut – at The Middle East Cafe – Review August 1, 1994 The trombone lead in “War Pigs” in itself was worth the price of admission.
Biohazard – State of the World Address – Interview August 1, 1994 An interview with bassist/vox Evan Seinfeld
Weezer – Review August 1, 1994 Singer Rivers Cuomo, gives the songs low-key humor and occasionally, full-blown personality. Unfortunately, the production doesn’t do them justice.
