Black Salad – Amatuers of Reality – Review

September 1, 1994

A Sabbath tribute. A Boston supergroup side project: Bob Daley (Chloe), John Queenan (454 Big Block), Jeff Turlick (Stompbox), and Tim Catz (Roadsaw).

Helmet – with Sausage and Rollins Band at The Wallace Center – Review

September 1, 1994

While they managed to bring their bristling, raw power to the stage, they just weren’t as smooth and seamless as Rollins or as innovative as Sausage.

Generation of Swine – Review

September 1, 1994

Hunter’s books have a way of wrecking havoc on your person; they promote spontaneity and encourage you to be stupid just for the hell of it.

Been Down So Long it Looks Like Up to Me – Review

September 1, 1994

Our hero – or antihero, depending which side of the bread you like buttered – Gnosses Pappadopoulis returning from a year of cross-country rambling.

Grind – with Tracy Bonham, Velveteen, Jennifer Trynin, Sextiles at The Middle East Cafe – Review

September 1, 1994

Not clean or intricate but powerful and catchy. A powerful if uncomplicated noise. Deserving of the headliner’s slot.

Bison – Review

September 1, 1994

Smart angst-pop. This tape hides twice the musical depth of their louder-than-God live show beneath crappy production.

Bad Mother Seed – with Love/Hate at The Rat – Review

September 1, 1994

The sound was pleasing to those who appreciate good, heavy attitude music, and yet they seemed like they were holding back.

Women of the SS – at The Middle East Cafe – Review

September 1, 1994

The progression of degradation zipped along and was cheered on by the audience. If viewed as a band, well, the tape loops are muddy and uninspiring.

Velveteen – with Tracy Bonham, Sextiles, Grind, Jennifer Trynin at The Middle East Cafe- Review

September 1, 1994

Heavy keyboard filled in the guitar blanks and lent a bit of distinction to their sound (a la Stone Roses/Charolette’s Wheel). Musically familiar.

Trip Master Monkey – at Local 186 – Review

September 1, 1994

I was expecting the standard, college alternative. What I got was alternative with a healthy dose of punk agitation.
