Betty Blowtorch – Are you Man Enough? – Review

February 22, 2002

Betty harmonizes well, and can be melodious, but when she gets down, she don’t fool around. We’re talking loud, mean, dirty and a little bit obscene.

Show and Tell – A Stormy Remembrance of TV Theme Songs – Review

June 1, 1997

A nostalgia joyride, strapped in A Clockwork Orange-style. The tape’s running at double-time. And the sound quality is decent at best. 35 songs is too many.

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.

June 1, 1995

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

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

June 1, 1995

March 1, 1995
