The Hellacopters – Payin’ the Dues – Review

April 1, 2000

It’s a fine record with all the stuff the Hellacopters are about but ya didn’t catch in Grande Rock, which is cuz that’s their “professional” record.

The Heartdrops – The Spills – Review

April 1, 2000

I’d say the Heartdrops were giving the Dragons a shout-out on their closing number, “Come on Strong,” but then I realized that the producer was Dean Rispler.

Union 69 – Holiday 2000 – Review

April 1, 2000

A pretty full-bore sound, tho’ it’s not that much different from what passes for OC punk. Sleaze’n’surf are the main points of departure.

The Flaming Lips – 1984-1990 – Review

April 1, 2000

Long before they were hailed as art-rock auteurs by fanzine writers everywhere, Wayne and Kevin Coyne et al’s The Flaming Lips were studio rats.

The Drones – Live in Japan – Review

April 1, 2000

The Drones were one of those first/second generation UK punk bands. This record was recorded a couple years ago on one of those reunion tours.

The Deadbeats – Review

April 1, 2000

Assuming they’re all from Sweden, the Deadbeats are slower and sludgier than Union 69

The Causey Way – With Loving and Open Arms – Review

April 1, 2000

“No folks, we’re not really a cult, but that’s the gimmick we’re hoping to use to get our goofy, amped-up new wave/age schtick some notice.”

The Catheters – Review

April 1, 2000

With maybe the exception of The Murder City Devils, Zeke, The Gimmicks, or RC5, these young ‘uns are the best band goin’ in Seattle these days.

The Burnouts – Go Go Racing! – Review

April 1, 2000

A carport crüe with an affinity for autos’n’rock’n’roll and other stuff that goes fast, as the lyrics seem to imply, along the lines of Guitar Wolf.

G.G. Allin – Res-Erected – Review

April 1, 2000

More clown than rock’n’roll animal; abuse of the audience and himself was his schtick, like a Gwar show, but with real blood, piss, shit, and a lotta laughs.
