Spring Heeled Jack – with Bim Skala Bim at Pearl Street – Review

December 1, 1994

How many alcoholic skaheads does an overstressed Editor have to put on a guest list to get something that resembles a review?

Sky Cries Mary – at The Rat – Review

December 1, 1994

Not dull enough to be ethereal, not pushy enough to be techno, Sky Cries Mary tap into pagan vibe and speak in tongues of psychedelia.

Smashing Orange – with The Swansons, Cher U.K. at The Rat – Review

December 1, 1994

Smashing Orange looked like they stepped out of a time machine from 1967 but worked plenty of feedback and grind into their sound.

Crown of Thorns – with High Defiance, Supahead, Stompbox at The Rat – Review

November 11, 1994

These guys were mean and hungry and their music was utterly viscous. The blood-thirsty dancers in attendance were disappointed only by their short set.

The Specials – with Let’s Go Bowling at Pearl Street – Review

November 1, 1994

Their performance at Pearl Street was nothing less than ska-a-roovie. To my dismay, original singer Terry Hall was off on projects of his own.

Supahead – with High Defiance, Crown of Thorns, Stompbox at The Rat – Review

November 1, 1994

I like this band already. Although there was little for them to feed off of, they managed to grind through a pretty giant-sounding set of songs.

Pulp Fiction – Review

November 1, 1994

Pulp Fiction excels for its painstakingly well-written, bizarre dialogue, and character development.

Ed Wood – Review

November 1, 1994

Lovingly shot in a dreamy, period-accurate black and white, the film follows Wood, played exquisitely by Johnny Depp, as he seeks fortune in tinsel town.

Danzig – 4 – Review

November 1, 1994

Danzig have returned with another dark creation that runs the gamut from ethereal ballads to demon rockers.

Stompbox – with High Defiance, Crown of Thorns, Supahead at The Rat – Review

November 1, 1994

Big, mean, sharp, and are tighter and heavier than ever (not to mention louder). It’s always good to have them back, so catch them while it’s still so easy.
