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.

Creepshow Mary – with High Defiance at The Rat – Review

December 1, 1993

The singer had the presence of Anthony of the Chili Peppers and a signature rant/rap. Amazingly tight for a band so young, without a demo to their name.

The Adventures of Macaroni McSpoon – Part Duh – Fiction

December 1, 1993

There was a large crash at the end of the hall. Mac realized he’d just missed the point. And the point had missed him entirely. Bad guidance system, evidently.

Rock n Roll is Here to Stay – Fiction

December 1, 1993

We wore flannel ’cause it was fucking cold in the sticks. We also enjoyed dope long before our short-haired brethren and have long since grown bored with it.

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

December 1, 1993

The packed crowd bopped and smiled and bounced ’til I thought the floor would collapse. It took a verse to realize the song was “Heart of Glass.” Blondie. Cool.

Heretix – Adventures of Super Devil – Review

October 1, 1993

They still possess the “well-crafted pop sensibility” of the 120 Minutes alternative daze, but now it’s more focused, grittier, and much heavier.

The Reverend Horton Heat – The Full-Custom Gospel Sounds of the Reverend Horton Heat – Review

October 1, 1993

Stray Cat rockabilly sped it up to Anthrax speed mixed with smooth crooning that’s Morrison-esque on some tracks and distorted psychobilly on others.

Toetag – Reality – Review

October 1, 1993

A dose of Reality from Toe Tag. They were actually able to pull off capturing the raw energy of their live show and put it in a cellophaned package.

Twisted Roots – Turn to Stone – Review

October 1, 1993

Twisted Roots swing like a pendulum between sparse, bare boned introspection and the roar of Black Sabbath in the Seattle metal days.
