L7 – at Avalon – Review

November 1, 1994

L7 tapped into the ’70s and ’80s punk groove with their sound and attitude. They were the epitome of no-frills rock blasting basic, three chord shot-bursts.

Jawbox – with Brainiac at The Middle East Cafe – Review

November 1, 1994

They played a good, healthy set consisting of almost everything from For Your Own Special Sweetheart, and a few older tunes from Grippe and Novelty.

High Defiance – with Crown of Thorns, Supahead, Stompbox at The Rat – Review

November 1, 1994

Lots of hair and headbanging going on, but the drummer was really slammin’ and the guy scratching added a lot of tasteful tidbits to the songs.

GWAR – with Buzzov-en at The Strand – Review

November 1, 1994

Decked out in Road-Warrior-esque garb, GWAR drenched the Strand and its patrons in fake blood during a stellar show.

Gluegun – at The Rat – Review

November 1, 1994

Gluegun came out firing with wild props and spiderweb pattern lights. Their lead singer is an absolutely beautiful woman with a tremendous amount of character.

Etcetera Magazine – Safe Sex: Latex, Plastic and Cellophane at the Rat – Review

November 1, 1994

Etcetera Magazine, Elisabeth Parker’s latest endeavor (following The Fine Print), hosted an Enticing Evening called Safe Sex: Latex, Plastic and Cellophane.

Cop Shoot Cop – with Bile at The Middle East Cafe – Review

November 1, 1994

Their sound does nothing but build with each passing moment, like a boa constrictor squeezing your intestines out. They played for close to two hours.

Inri – at the Soon Release Party at The Middle East Cafe and T.T. the Bear’s – Review

November 1, 1994

Inri = Cure. Only less so.

Buzzoven – with GWAR at The Strand – Review

November 1, 1994

Opening band, Buzzov-en, played a short set of fiery and inspired thrash-punk, reminiscent of old Ministry.

Zutrau – at the Soon Release Party at The Middle East Cafe and T.T. the Bear’s Place – Review

November 1, 1994

Zutrau’s vocals in his self-titled band are its weakest asset, although “Burning Bridges” is complex and eccentric, and, again, the baseline stands out.
