6L6 – with Orangutang at The Rat – Review

December 1, 1994

Superstar takes a step toward a more melodically accessible sound. Vocalist/bassist Ted Condo continues his confrontationally personal style of lyric writing.

Prong – at The Middle East Cafe – Review

December 1, 1994

Driven by Ted Parson’s relentless hammerings and Paul Raven’s watery-deep bass, Prong locked in, becoming the savagely tight unit that’s gained them notoriety.

Pride & Glory – with Roadsaw at The Paradise – Review

December 1, 1994

Although influenced by his time with Ozzy and bands of that genre, many of Zakk’s riffs come from years of listening to the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Orangutang – Farewell Show at The Rat – Review

Orangutang went out with a scream, not a whimper. Everyone in attendance felt it, as the band belted through a roster of songs, spanning their history.

NOFX – with Ten Foot Pole, Face to Face at Axis – Review

Life of Agony – at The Rat – Review

December 1, 1994

Kustomized – with Bunny Brains, Knifeboat at T.T. the Bear’s – Review

Knifeboat – with Bunny Brains, Kustomized at T.T. the Bear’s – Review

December 1, 1994

Utilizing an old movie projector, cello, saxophone, poetry, and passionate, unbridled noise, Knifeboat enthralled the crowd.

Jennifer Trynin – at Local 186 – Review

December 1, 1994

The smirkingly snide contrast of a perfect pop melody armed with a loaded lyric is what makes her music so irresistible and infectious.

Gas Huffer – with The Cramps at Avalon – Review

December 1, 1994

What struck me about Gas Huffer is that nothing really struck me. Their sound is punk with rockabilly and blues leanings.
