Marilyn Manson – with Nine Inch Nails at The Cyclorama – Review

June 1, 1994

Between songs, the singer snarled, “There are a lot of little girls here. Which one of you will come up on stage and let me put my FIST in her?”

KMFDM – at Venus – Review

June 1, 1994

When ANGST smashes into you, it carries you on it’s front grill at dizzying speeds ’til it damn well feels like stopping to let you peel yourself off.

House of Large Sizes- at the Middle East Cafe – Review

June 1, 1994

House of Large Sizes doesn’t bother with gimmicky effects or laser light shows; they strip it down to catchy, sneering, country twang-gone-wacky pop.

G. Love & Special Sauce – at The Linwood – Review

June 1, 1994

There’s a six-foot-two guru sitting in a chair knocking his bony knees together in rhythm, thumb-picking real Delta-style blues on an old Silvertone guitar.

Genitorturers – at Local 186 – Review

June 1, 1994

“I want to hear you beg!” roared the intro tape as the band began their crunching, mean, and snarling backdrop to the antics of Gen and her Genitorturers.

Evelyn Swoons- at T.T. the Bear’s – Review

June 1, 1994

Skye snakes around the stage in a display of flexibility and professional hair whipping. This guy sings his ass off. The music is fast and exciting.

Revel with a Cause – T.T. the Bear’s Place Benefit at the Paradise – Review

June 1, 1994

There was a real sense of camaraderie, a feeling, on stage and off, that everyone was there to have some fun and, in the process, help an important club.

6L6 – with Bonehead, Stompbox, and Tree at Axis – Review

April 1, 1994

6L6 is a band that doesn’t need group shouts to make a massive vocal impact. From outta this skinny, starvation poster boy comes a bulldozing roar of a voice.

Tree – with Bonehead, 6L6, and Stompbox at Axis – Review

April 1, 1994

Tree leapt right into “Engulfed” and didn’t let up for the rest of the night. The whole floor turned into one mass of writhing, flailing bodies.

Tool – at Avalon – Review

April 1, 1994

My hair stood on end as Tool let the precise chaos dominate Avalon. Energy, energy, and more merciless auditory energy rained down upon us.
