Olde School – at The Causeway – Review

April 1, 1995

Olde School band made me feel 16 and I know that this quest had lead me to a veritable “Fountain of Youth.”

Lords of Acid – at Axis – Review

April 1, 1995

While I’m a big fan of Lords of Acid, their show was the equivalent of playing the CD really loud at a crowded party.

Little A – with St. Chimerae at T.T. the Bear’s – Review

April 1, 1995

Grover can growl as well as lilt; Kirkdorffer can adroitly play Goth, rock ‘n’ roll, ambient, grunge, or folk, but Little A is none of these.

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – at the Middle East Cafe – Review

April 1, 1995

Unabashedly self-referencing, the Blues Explosion is one of the rawest forms of soul to appear in this decade.

Dink – at Axis – Review

April 1, 1995

Their live show is hard rock, rap attack, and syncopated rhythm, driven by a background of TV sound bites, strobe lights, film loops, and psychedelia.

Dillion Fence – with The Gravel Pit at Mama Kin – Review

April 1, 1995

Dillion Fence may be the next big thing, but their performance at Mama Kin was not much.

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.

Bush – at the Paradise – Review

April 1, 1995

Angered vocal power mixed with the sounds of early Nirvana, Candlebox, and a dash of Trent Reznor. Such fusion gives Bush a new and yet familiar sound.

Stickmen – at the Rat – Review

April 1, 1995

What I saw can be described in two words “Fuckin’ Sick.” I mean, these guys groove. They are “Purveyors of the power grooves.”

The Borg – at Mobius – Review

April 1, 1995

A minimalist retro Brian Eno-ish rock with voice harmonizers and everything. Simple, with enough room (and reverb) to stimulate the brain.
