Moodcrush – with Tongue Lash at The Red Square Nashua – Review

June 1, 1995

Maybe they have a more distinct style or a wider range of influences. Even if they were to do covers, they would personalize them and make them their own.

Marilyn Manson – with Korn, Danzig at The Sting – Review

June 1, 1995

The man has an almost cult-leaderish quality about him – ice cold eyes and a patronizing manner towards the worshipers. His lyrics are crisp and harsh.

Lars Vegas – with Hollywood Squares, Soilamatic, Soothing Sounds for Babies at the Middle East Cafe – Review

June 1, 1995

If you like tongue-in-cheek-loungelizard-pseudo-jazz, complete with crooning vocals, stand-up bass, xylophone, and sax, nobody does it better than Lars Vegas.

Korn – with Marilyn Manson, Danzig at The Sting – Review

June 1, 1995

Korn merges rap and hardcore, a combo I’m not fond of. A very loud bass and faster, faster drums make good mosh music, but it’s not appropriate for my bedroom.

Hollywood Squares – with Soilamatic, Lars Vegas, Soothing Sounds for Babies at the Middle East Cafe – Review

June 1, 1995

Their set was in keeping with the variety theme of the show – their style varied from rock to blues-funk type stuff, to reggae, including one twangy number.

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.

Everclear – at Babyhead and Local 186 – Review

June 1, 1995

Everclear play live like a 75-watt bulb screwed into an itty bitty book light.

Danzig – with Korn, Marilyn Manson at The Sting – Review

June 1, 1995

Danzig, I wouldn’t review you if you were the last band on Earth, and you can shove that “Mother” lyric sheet up your pretentious ass.

Crash Worship – with Quintron at the Rat – Review

June 1, 1995

Fireworks. Detuned bass. Distorted, violent synth noise. Every song lasts for 20 minutes, building to an orgasmic conclusion, and you wish they lasted longer.

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.
