Expanding Man – with Brian Stevens, Poundcake, The Gravel Pit at TT the Bear’s – Review

December 1, 1995

Trippy rock, with great grooves and a charismatic singer. After the set, I left quickly because I had the inexplicable urge to lick the sweat off his body.

Marilyn Manson – at Mama Kin – Review

December 1, 1995

Things went downhill about halfway through the set, when the band followed Mr. Manson’s lead and left the stage. After the fourth time, it was getting old.

Clutch – at The Rat – Review

December 1, 1995

While Clutch may be one of my favorite bands, I was bored stiff as the band trudged through ’70’s-ish guitar rock meanderings.

Brian Stevens – with Poundcake, The Gravel Pit, Expanding Man at T.T. the Bear’s – Review

December 1, 1995

Two words. Perky and happy. Not to say Brian Stevens and his band aren’t talented, but they were just so darn thrilled to be playing their saccharine songs.

Women of Sodom – at the Anon CD Release Party at The Middle East and T.T. the Bear’s – Review

November 1, 1995

From where I was sitting, mostly what I heard was the drum machine, but I chose my seat for the view, not the acoustics.

Capsize 7 – with Pie, Karate, Blonde Redhead at the Middle East Cafe – Review

November 1, 1995

Loud, fast, hard, but with enough melody to keep your attention, and just enough style to set them apart from every other loud, fast, hard band out there.

Welt – at the Rat – Review

November 1, 1995

Jason Cooper is a husky, expressive guy with a gravelly voice and good range. He can sing nice melodies without sounding like a whining pussy.

Ultra Bide – with Nomeansno at Mama Kin – Review

November 1, 1995

Walls of noise, odd times, jolting and schizophrenic changes, hollered Japanese… The things that make NYC great. They had lots of fun onstage.

Tremont Brewery Music Festival – Review

November 1, 1995

Tremont Brewery threw a party to introduce their new ESB. They had three types of beer available; the new ESB, an IPA, and, of course, their Ale.

Turkish Delight – at the Anon CD Release Party at The Middle East and T.T. the Bear’s – Review

November 1, 1995

Singer was a fairy queen complete with gauzy wings and wand. She made gifts to the house of toy instruments and odd curios and asked the crowd to play along.
