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

November 1, 1994

Mistle Thrush’s performance at T.T.’s was not as thrilling as I’d expected, but their track, “Beyond Reach” travels a compelling path.

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

November 1, 1994

“Seraphim,” is just different enough and catchy enough to really stand out. I missed their set, but some said they were the best surprise of the night.

Prelude to a Lick – Column

November 1, 1994

October: Two nervous breakdowns, a drug O.D., major surgery, child-birth, moving, rehab, and numerous occasions of “What am I doing with my Life?” freakouts.

Cardboard and Chords – Review

November 1, 1994

Each 7″ in the series came in honest cardboard with pretty-colored lettering screen-printed on it. The colors coordinated with the clear vinyl on the inside.

Tiamat – Wildhoney – Review

November 1, 1994

A slow and brooding mass of sound that has the beauty and overwhelming power of ocean waves. Furthermore, it has the lulling potential of an undertow.

Swirl – “Strangelands” – Review

November 1, 1994

Big, fuzzy guitars (and more guitars and more guitars) with classic Boston-esque noisy power-pop rhythms.

Spdfgh – “Nighttime” – Review

November 1, 1994

Four teenage girls with cutesy voices, pop sensibility, and a guitar sound so furry it would give you a shock of static electricity if you could touch it.

Saturnine 60 – Autoglider – Review

November 1, 1994

Mournful acoustic and laid back, noisy guitars are the rule until the last song, “Half-Truths,” which is fun, goofy, and lightens the mood at the last moment.

Motor Home – “Whole In My Head” – Review

November 1, 1994

A Chicago-based trio that could jam with any Boston pop band any night of the week. Contrast sweet male/female melodies with some background chorus howling.

Foreskin 500 – Manpussy – Review

November 1, 1994

While duh-rock guitars plod and solos rip, there are preachers prophecizing, porno stars humping, and warbling horns that sound like elephants with indigestion.
