Free-form jam sessions full of awe-inspiring bass work, Todd Huth’s drifting, sonic maelstrom, and lively chops from drummer Jay Lane.

Rollins Band – with Sausage and Helmet at The Wallace Center – Review

September 1, 1994

Barefoot and spewing liquid from pores and mouth, King Henry led his super tight band and the pit through a monster set.

Paramour Erotic Reading – at Kingston Gallery – Review

Amelia Copeland and Corwin Ericson, Paramour’s Publisher and Managing Editor, respectively, read a raucous and shamelessly crass piece together.

Mother Tongue – at Local 186 – Review

September 1, 1994

Speed/funk riffing and slap-pop bass is cartwheeling about to a nearly continuous drum roll. The vocals mutate from chillin’ rap to hardcore bellows.

Love/Hate – with Bad Mother Seed at The Rat – Review

September 1, 1994

Singer Jizzy Pearl dropped a few gallons of sweat. The rest of the band kept it tight and heavy, playing fiercely as the small but fanatical crowd sang along.

Gwar – with The Ex-Cops at Pearl Street – Review

August 1, 1994

Gigolo Aunts – with Buffalo Tom, Lemonheads at Great Woods – Review

August 1, 1994

While Flippin’ Out is a very nice group of lushly produced pop songs, they decided to forgo their staple background vocals. The girls did scream however.

Fleshflower – at Lyon’s Den – Review

August 1, 1994

Vocalist/guitarist Doug Thoms has a real presence on stage with his long, frizzy hair and pork chop sideburns. Fleshflower has range and talent.

Alan Johannes, along with former Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Jack Irons and keyboardist Natasha Shneider, create a sound that is hard to describe.

Buffalo Tom – with Gigolo Aunts, Lemonheads at Great Woods – Review

August 1, 1994

Bill Janovitz was everywhere and the songs rang large. This was a sincere and unpretentious performance.
