Home – with Only Living Witness, Cobalt 60, Grind, Plush at Bill’s Bar & Venus – Review

February 1, 1994

The tight groove of this band was further underscored when joined by the horns of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones for a righteous rendition of Curtis Mayfield’s “Pusherman.”

Grind – with Only Living Witness, Home, Cobalt 60, Plush at Bill’s Bar & Venus – Review

February 1, 1994

Grind’s trademark riffs and driving rhythms were in top form this night, and, as always, Sandy Cohen’s soaring voice captivated.

Flail – with Big Catholic Guilt, Zia at The Rat – Review

February 1, 1994

The tunes were dreary Goth dirge and would have benefited from a strong Reznor whisper/scream or Buzzsaw Jourgensen howl.

Cobalt 60 – with Only Living Witness, Home, Grind, Plush at Bill’s Bar & Venus – Review

February 1, 1994

The night’s headliners, Cobalt 60 never fails to please, and with singer Keith in usual manic form, tonight was no exception.

Big Catholic Guilt – with Flail, Zia at The Rat – Review

February 1, 1994

The Rat was too hot, too crowded, smelled like shit, and was alive with the pulsating energy of Big Catholic Guilt.

6L6 – with Stompcrotch, Powerman 5000 at the Middle East Cafe – Review

February 1, 1994

With only three members, 6L6 sledgehammer the audience. Ted bashies the glitter off his emerald green glam-boy bass, roaring like a 20 foot Lemmy monster.

Rippopatamus – at The Rat – Review

December 1, 1993

High spirited, high energy, upbeat; they had the crowd shakin’ their tails. The musicians were totally tight and the vocalist sang with strength and character.

Little Sister – at Lion’s Den – Review

December 1, 1993

Lead singer Andrea Thurber’s voice could send shivers through your body right down to the soul.

High Defiance – with Creepshow Mary at The Rat – Review

December 1, 1993

The bassist is a funk madman accompanied by hip-hop beats and DJ scratches. The two guitarists duel like Maiden, chug like Metallica. All members sing/yell.

G. Love & Special Sauce- with Groove Butcher at The Middle East Cafe – Review

December 1, 1993

The guitarist/singer’s buttcheeks dance on the chair, threatening to take a spill at any moment. Totally smooth funk like the Chilis on a chill trip.
