Piss Factory – Review

February 1, 1994

Lizzie Avondet’s vocals have that gritty, early Joan Jett feel. Some choruses have haunting, Valium angel sweetness layered like a Twix, with a cookie crunch.

This Is Not Here – Review

February 1, 1994

Many of the songs have a lapping ocean feel, a swaying groove saturated by wild guitar effects, reverbed and/or mechanized, and thundering bass and drums.

February 1, 1994

Zia’s live shows have gotten more involved and intricate, with assistance from some of the most competent names in Boston’s electronic music scene.

ToeTag – with Mung, Only Living Witness at The Rat – Review

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

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.

February 1, 1994

Who should, in fact, know. But what if we took Who out of fact and put him in a small wading pool with two or three well-behaved children, then would Who know?
