Lords of Acid – with God Lives Underwater, The Women of Sodom, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult at Avalon – Review

September 1, 1995

Lords of Acid exploded into their own brand of aural masturbation. This is no wimpy house bullshit here, brothers and sisters.

God Lives Underwater – with The Women of Sodom, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Lords of Acid at Avalon – Review

September 1, 1995

While both EP and full-length are chock full of computer gimmickry, their live set was very boy-next-door rock bandish.

Die Cheerleader – at Avalon – Review

September 1, 1995

Astonished eyes and open mouths, than clapping hands. Whatever it was that people had expected from this band, getting sledged in the forehead it was not.

The Smears – with Butt Trumpet, The Meatmen, Sam Black Church at Avalon – Review

June 1, 1995

All-girl punk trio from Indiana with a fast, loud, old school punk sound. They have the hate/pissed off/who gives a fuck? that’s kept me going all these years.

The Meatmen – with The Smears, Butt Trumpet, Sam Black Church at Avalon – Review

June 1, 1995

All the Meat classics that were left off last year’s tour were brought back to life.

Steel Pole Bathtub – with Faith No More at Avalon – Review

June 1, 1995

A cross between early Pink Floyd, The Clash and Melvins, Steel Pole Bathtub shed some sweat upon Avalon’s stage and delivered a high-energy performance.

Faith No More – with Steel Pole Bathtub at Avalon – Review

June 1, 1995

Faith No More stand as one of the most creative, risk-taking bands around, while Mike Patton is one of the most entertaining, diverse talents of our generation.

Butt Trumpet – with The Smears, The Meatmen, Sam Black Church at Avalon – Review

June 1, 1995

I headed backstage to party with the bands and to get free beer. While up there, I saw most of Butt Trumpet’s set from above. They did put on a great show.

Rancid – with Waterbug, Daltonic at Avalon – Review

April 1, 1995

From the bass-grooving “Radio” to the ska anthem, “I Want a Riot,” Rancid seemed as tight as ever and even more pissed then the last time I saw them.

Daltonic – with Waterbug, Rancid at Avalon – Review

April 1, 1995

Daltonic’s set was truly amazing. They were as tight as ever. Their new guitarist sounded great alongside Nick’s groove-pounding bass and Scott’s vocal assault.
