    	O.K. I'll reply to my own note first.....
    
    	One Boston band that I know of pretty well is my 
    	brother-in-law's band, The Dharma Bums....
    
    	They just cut there first album called "Everything Is Always Allright"
    	They are not a H.M. but their style of music is a fast,
    	bluesy type, with a good amount of guitar work.
    
    	I myself have not seen them live, they play mostly over 21
    	clubs, so cannot judge them live. Everyone who has seen them
    	says that it is a good show though.....
    
    	I've got the album and a couple good cuts are..
    
    	Rosalee
    	Red Wine Mustache(SP?)
    	                                
    	This type of music isn't my style, but I did enjoy those 
    	2 songs.....

     The Extremes' album will be released in Jan of `89 for anybody
    who is interested.  Caught an awesome show of their's at Grovers
    in Beverly recently. Gary ( lead singer ) is hot! He was non stop
    all over the place. Nuno ( lead guitar ) is a phenom! The man can
    plain out play some guitar! Opinions on the band ?
    pfl

    
    Man what an extinct note!!
    
    Still looking for opinions, information on 
    FLESH
    and 
    TWO SAINTS.
    
    Does Two Saints have ANYTHING available on tape???
    CAT???
    
    /Motorbreath

    Whats the current scoop with EXTREME? 
    Heard MUTHA for the first time in a while on AAF. Did they release
    this as a single yet? Have they made a video for it yet, a better
    one than the video 5 years or so ago.
    Are they recording? They play 1 local gig and thats it?
    
    Just looking for info....
     

    EXTREME are waiting for Nuno to get well before they hit the road. They
    are going to Japan in less than 2 weeks for about 6 days and will play
    a couple of theatre shows. Headbangers Ball premiered MUTHA about a
    month ago. The video was shot at Hammerjacks in Baltimore and in no way
    resembles their last MUTHA video. Great article in the newest GUITAR
    WORLD mag on Nuno. 
    FLESH definately are EXTREME influenced but are no way extreme ripoffs.
    High energy......thoughtful lyrics......and "posing" kept to a minimum.
    (IMO)

    What's wrong with Nuno??
    
    

    
    I don't think it was mono. 
    
    He had Knee sugery. I was talking To Flesh's road manager about
    it. His Brother Dave was Flesh's Drummer Until he got killed In
    that senseless accident on the pike a while ago.
    
    
    butchaka

    Nuno had his knee operated on in, i think, late August....soon after
    the operation he contracted mono....he's feeling better on both
    accounts now.

    
    I duh...Nuno what's goining on       (':
    
    
    
    
     Nun night.......ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz ......zzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

                                          

    Went to see Flesh last night and it was cancelled! Mike the drummer
    broke his arm and they have to find a replacement.  I talked to Steve
    and he said they still will be playing in Hudson.

    Hi Butchaka,
    
    This is Diane the mother of "Kim Lombardi" who's movie is premiering
    at the WTC in Boston, who is the girlfriend of Rob DeLuca of the
    ex-band "Bang".  Sorry to tell you but "Bang" broke up, well I really
    shouldn't say they broke up, 3 of the original "Bang" members are still
    together.  They are now located in New York with one new member
    and they are called "Spread Eagle".  The band is doing fantastic.
    They have been signed to a record company in the Big Apple and they
    are now in the process of cutting there first album.  I personally
    have not heard them yet but from what my daughter tells me they
    are better than ever.  Much better then when they were "Bang".
    
    After the alburm is done they will be doing a few MTV videos but
    I don't know exactly when that will be happening.
    
    Well that is the latest on the ex-Bang.
    
    Diane

    Temporary replacement for about 2 months.  I guess Nuno filled in
    Sunday night when they played at the Channel with Bang Tango but, he
    can't help Flesh out any more cuz Extreme is on there way to Japan
    right now. 

    .18
    What a replacement arm?????????????????????
    
    
    sri
    

    A replacement arm???? yah he only needs to borrow an arm for 2 months
    got a spare
    

    Hmmm...
    Yup, Nuno filled in at the Channel, didn't do a bad job!
    I wonder who's gonna play drums for them tonight?
    
    /Motorbreath

Flesh's drummer didn't break his arm but infact broke his wittle finger
    playing basketball with a friend of mine, thats the 2nd time his
    done that. But they had to cast his arm up to keep the hand still.
    
                        wishing him a quick recovery,
                                                         \mArK/
    

    So what did you think of KRAZLER at AXIS Friday night??  They played
    with Michael Monroe.... 
    
    What's the concensus??

    Don't know...missed their show...
    
    It said doors open at 6...got there at 7 and the 2nd band was going on.
    I couldn't figure out why they started/finished so early.
    the Unattached was good, though.
    
    Steve

    Krazler went on at 6:30... I thought they were GREAT!!  The Unattached
    were good too... I guess the reason they went on so early is that it
    was an 18+ show, and they wanted all the under 21 crowd out by like
    10:00.
    
    Did anyone else make the show???  

    
    
                                  To name a few....
    
                     
       N.E. ROCKS - Great band out of Mass/N.H. who are VERY talented.
                    Kicka$$ songs and some great presence live. Their
                    drummer,Terry Terror, has to be seen (heard) to
                    be beleived! I will post upcoming shows and highly
                    recommend going.
    
       MAXIMUM ---- Maximum is a hard rock/rock-n-roll band that has
                    been signed to Enigma. Another great act live.
                    I heard ("There's a Rumor in the Air,") they were
                    going to record in early 90'.          
    
    
    
                                  More groups to be listed later,
                                                                 R.C.
    

                Terry Terror...    pleaze...  what a joke...  Mr.
                Rich  stuck-up snob  who's  mother  mortages  the
                house to buy him  a  $4000  drum  set and a vette
                Terror?  Don't make me laugh.
                
                - FWIW, Terry is the name of his late brother who
                was killed several years ago -
                
                I call him Terry Terrible...
                

    Rob, is that Terry_rich_f**k_who_has_a_23_piece_set_and_can't_really_
     play_it_from_the_Derry_area_Terror?
    
    Buck, who sez it must be hard for drummers to keep good time and
    do nose shots at the same time!

    
    
    Re: .38
        
          Rob, I take it your not very friendly with "The Terror". Many
    people have told me he was "Kid Ego", but every time I've talked
    to him he's been real down to earth. But hey, everyone isn't going
    to like everyone.
          As to him changing his name from Ted to Terry that's sort
    of a tribute to his brother who died.(His brother was a drummer
    also and I heard his was real good.) Last night N.E. ROCKS played
    a show at Amesbury High for S.A.D.D. and Jay(singer) told a story
    about Ted's brother and they played "Fox on the Run" by Sweet.(His brother's
    favorite band) Also his drum solo was most intense.
    
    
                                                 
                                                       R.C.
    
    P.S. Isn't his kit worth over 13,000???
    

    
    
          Buck, I would really like for you to go to the next N.E. ROCKS
    show.(I'll try and find out when and where.) That way you can find
    out if this "Rob" is over-rating him or if the other "Rob" is under-
    rating him. You make the call!
    
    
                                                
                                                               R.C.
    
    P.S. Is that RG550 still for sale?
    

                
                FWIW, Buck  has  seen  him play, he probably just
                doesn't recall which drummer it was.  
                
                Re:  13K set, not unless he got rid of the Ludwig
                and bought a Sonor.    Top of the line set Ludwig
                sells is only about $5K or so (9 or 10 piece), so
                even if he added a few  more  drums,  no  way  he
                could come close to $13K.  It's amazing what I've
                heard people claiming, I've heard everything from
                $3K-25K.   Ted  and  I  get  along  when  we  are
                together, but I  just don't like his attitude.  I
                bear with it though.

                Just talked to Pete (their guitarist), and he was
                telling me something about the possibility of DEC
                and diet pepsi sponsoring  them  because they are
                doing a rock against alcohol  thing at schools or
                something.  Bull or not...   you choose, I really

    is that the kid that used to have this silver streak in his 
    hair or something?? Like long black hair with this big streak
    in it? If so, I saw the Crunchberries vid and I was impressed
    with his playing, but then of course, I'm no drummer.
    
    /Motorbreath...but would like to be

                That's the  one,  silver  streak.   He's a pretty
                good  drummer,  but  hardly  'unbelievable'  like
                another note stated.   Good  luck on the new set,
                unfortunately, $1K doesn't stretch too far in the
                percussion world...

    I went to CITI/AXIS last night for their METAL MESSACRE affair.
    
    They had a ton of bands...let me see if I can remember the list:
    
    Dirty Looks
    Love Pollution
    Atumba
    Crystal Talon
    Boa
    Witch Bonnie
    Tin Pan Alley
    Extreme
    Enuff Z Nuff
    
    I think that was it.  Bands Dirty Looks thru Tin Pan Alley got 20
    minute sets, Extreme got a half-hour, and Z Nuff played for an hour.
    What a weird gig!!  Below are my review and personal comments on each
    act:
    
    Dirty Looks -- Only caught one song.  Your basic sludge-rock metal.
    The tune didn't interest me, and they were just too trashy/thrashy
    for my tastes.  Lousy image, too.
    
    Love Pollution -- A *bad* Skid Row imitation band!  Ok image, immature
    stage presence, and mediocre songs.  They need to hon their act!
    
    Atumba -- Lousy songs...a poor Extreme rip-off band (ugh!).  Their funk
    didn't have any funk, their grooves were contrived.  Ok on the image
    side and stage show, but the songs were really poor.  Singer needs to
    loose the Freddie Mercury image...it's 1991 bud!
    
    Crystal Talon -- At this point, I said to myself "What is this, sludge 
    rock night?!?"  I didn't like the guitarists sound...very sharp.  And
    walk about procesed vocals...that Yam Rev 7 was working overtime with
    this band.  They said they had the #1 song on BCN's HMFH show for 
    three weeks in a row.  After they played it, I said "why?!?".  They
    were ok...good vocals...good stage presence, but I did not like their
    material at all...very unmelodic metal.
    
    Boa -- Ahh, they were a relief.  Great stage presence and look, and 
    they had songs with substance.  One thing, the bassist needs to go,
    he totally doesn't fit in with the band.  Otherwise, very good.
    
    Witch Bonnie -- Oppps, we slipped back a tad into the sludge-rock
    vein.  They were pretty good...ok image and presence, but they songs 
    didn't blow me away.
    
    Tin Pan Alley -- Anotehr good band.  Good songs, look.  They had it
    together...no wonder they went on right before Extreme.
    
    Extreme -- What can I say...they were Extreme.  They played a good
    selection of songs for a 30 minute set, but mostly dabbled in the
    Porno... album, which I really don'ty like, so...
    
    Enuff Z Nuff -- They were better than when I saw them open for Mr. Big
    at the Paradise last year, but stil their stage presence bugs me.
    Good tunes for their genre, but the look/moves thing needs work still.  

    
    Buck, 
           geezze I didn't even see you there.
    
           Have you been in there before? I thought the club was awsome,
           many lights, nice stage, reminded me of Cal., and great 
           acoustics. Oh ya, and elbow room....
    
           Hey did you see that girl wearing the 1/4 dungaree around the
           waist and the rest see_throu lace, and all she had on underneath
           was panties and garder belts. It was quite interesting......;^)
       
           I thought I saw the Prez. there.............;^)
    
                                                                  Mark

    Hey JAZZ,
    
    >       Have you been in there before? 
    
    Oh yeah, gazillions of times!
    
    >I thought the club was awsome, many lights, nice stage, reminded me 
    >of Cal., and great acoustics.

    That's cuz it'sa dance club.  So lights and sound are really important,
    as opposed to, say, Bunratty's (where they could give a ...)
    
    I like seeing shows there, but the club mgmt and wrokers are MAJOR
    butt-wipes...they all need to be sent to the Saudi frontline IMHO!

    Yes, to say the least!
    
    I had fun...
    B.

    Good review Buck, even if it was mostly bands to avoid in the future! 
    But what is 'Sludge-Rock' in your opinion, because sludge (I think)
    means something else over here.
    
    
    GAZ
    

    Sludge-rock, to me, is plodding, unmelodic, harmonically unintersting,
    rhythmically boring rock music.

    re: the review in .62....Buck, i think you got one of the band names
    wrong...the band that appeared that night in the "sludge-rock" category
    was "Dirty Trixx"...not Dirty Looks....thats an entirely different band
    and we wouldn't want to be slinging a bad review of them around when
    it wasn't them now, would we??.......thought you'd want to know....p.s.
    i know, cause the twit playing the guitar is an ex-boyfriend..../k

    /k, dear...
    
    Well, I got my info from the soundman's band/set time list at the
    mixing board.  Pardon my error, which was actually his error.  As I
    said, I came in late for them, so I wouldn't have know the difference
    if they were Dirty Trixx, or Looks, or whatever.
    
    Also, I never said the guitarist was a twit...'prissy is the only real
    TWIT(tm) around here!  ;^)  I just said their gig didn't interest me.
    But then again, most R&R hasn't interested my much of late anymore, so
    maybe I'm just outta touch with the whole scene?!?  Regardless, bands
    1-4 that night left me stone cold.

    ......buck, are you cranky today or what??.....I called the guitar
    player a TWIT...i didn't say you did...i just wanted to set the name
    thing straight...personally i thought they s*cked........./k
    

    /k,
    
    Cranky?  No.  Disoriented?  Yes!
    
    My job is so busy, I couldn't really extract the proper information
    from your memo.
    
    Whatever...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Hey!  Caught Mystreator, NE Rocks and Street Heart the other night.
    
    First off, Mark Clemmens and I both determined that he could NOT give
    me a race for my money in the hair category :')
    
    I liked several of Mystreator's songs and thought they had some market
    potential.  There were a couple that had some poor key changes in the
    midst that detracted from the rest of the song.  The soundman should
    have been shot as well.  Other than those couple of problems, good
    band.
    
    NE Rocks has improved a great deal since I last was them.  They are
    concentrating alot more on vocals that most bands.  THough the three
    part harmonies were simple, I felt it added a lot to the band.  Partway
    through the show, the guitarists Marshall head blew, so good thing he
    had a backup handy.  They still carried out the rest of the song
    without the guitarist and amde it through very well.  They had the best
    sound of the night.  The songs really weren't to my taste, but they
    also had market potential.
    
    Street Heart...  Jeez, I don't know what to say about these guys. 
    Lousy sound, lousy songs, most of the people left after NE Rocks got
    off and I don't blame them.  If it hadn't been for me hanging out and
    talking with some of the Rocks guys, I would have left to go next door
    with everybody else.  Definate thumbs down.  I hear they are cool
    people, but they'd better get back to work on their music skills.
    
    I don't know if Stret Heart was supposed to be the headliner or they
    put them on last cause they knew people would leave after the second
    band.
    
    

    
    	NE Rocks- Excellent! Enjoyed the show immensly !! RR did
    	have MC beat. Great playing MC!

               Thanx for coming to see us, I wished I felt better so 
               I could have talked to you guys but I just couldn't get
               knife out of my stomach.  <^(

    	re: Mark,
    
    	So *that's* what that was! ;)
    
    	I too enjoyed Mystreator and NE Rocks the most.  It's been a 
    	LONG time since I've gone to see a rock band play so this was
    	an especially good time.  And while I can't give you all the
    	technical jargon that Rob can, I can just say that I thought
    	they both sounded great.  =)

    Was excellent-Do you have mailing list MC? JJ did youget RR home ok?

    	You're right about atmosphere, I'll never forget the time seeing
    	The Who in Shea Stadium from about two miles up!  Fortunately
    	we left our seats and went on the field.
    
    	Rock Gods?  I thought they worshiped Cream, no, sorry that was
    	Thee Hypnotics.  Just kidding I like 'em.  I can't recall the
    	first time but I saw them at last years Rumble.  I guess being 
    	in the Rumble hasn't destroyed them.  I still like Winshield (?)
    	and I should be sure of the title after hearing it upteen times 
    	on the radio.

    I was wondering if anyone can give me any info on a group called 
    Wicked Witch (I assume that this is the correct spelling).  I 
    hear that they are from Brockton Mass, and they have a demo tape
    out.  One of their songs was played over 94.1 Hjy this weekend,
    and I thought it was pretty cool.  I would like to hear more.
    Does anyone know about concerts? or where I could get a demo tape?

Anybody heard of a local band called Love It To Death? They have a single 
out called "Cat Like You" - I heard it once, it was ok but nothing special.
They seemed a little bit poseur, a little bit grungy. I was wondering what
they were like live....

BTW, the band leader is Casey Lindstrom, formerly of the New Models! Sort
of a weird turnaround for him.

RE: 70.92

	
	Sorry for the long delay, I've been real busy lately...

	Wicked Witch is an all original hard rock band.  They had been playing
very frequently till about a month ago.  Rumor had it that they were not 
scheduling any new gigs because of a pending record deal.  I havn't been in
touch with them for about a month so I don't know what the story is now.  I am
going to try and get in touch this weekend so I should know more next week.

	The Band :
		
	Zack Trussell        Vocals
        Matt Leff            Guitars
        Jeff Plate           Drums
        Mark Stewart         Bass

	They do have a three song demo out.  It was recorded at Courtlen and
Barking Spider Studios.  Very well done.  The songs are Breakdown, This Time,
and Soul to Fire.  For more information you can write to:

		Wicked Witch 
                42 Audubon Rd.
                Weymouth, MA 02188

	The tape was $5 and worth every penney.

								Craig

	Re: -1


		Thanks a *lot* dude..  I will write them for sure...
	As I said I only heard the song once, but I thought it was
	great.  I hope they do get a record deal.  I can't wait for
	the demo!!!

    How about this Boston band called ZIPZIP anyone seen they play?
    

I went to the Agnostic Front show at Man Ray this past Saturday afternoon.
Also appearing were Wrecking Crew, The Bruisers, and Toe Tag (or something 
like that, I forget). 

The first band wasn't that great. The Bruisers were pretty cool though, 
although a bit repititious for me. Wrecking Crew was MUCH better, they were
really hot! And the crowd totally loved 'em - serious stage diving taking 
place! 

For those into local thrash shows, definitely check out Wrecking Crew. Pretty 
impressive! (And very nice guys, to boot....)

alan

    Aye,Wrecking Crew are a smart enough band. I`ve 2 tracks on a CBGB`s
    hardcore compilation album,and both songs are tart.
    

    I know there was a similar note a couple years back......thought I'd
    start it up again and see what kind of replies I'd get.  Always
    interested in checking out the local talent........
    
    If anyone's interested in checking out a couple of great Boston bands,
    here are my votes:
    
    	Fortune  -  These guys are incredible.  They're being advertised
    		    as "Boston's Best Cover Band" - which is a
    		    disappointment because their originals are incredible.
    		    They do quite the variety...everything from
    		    Queensryche to Kansas to Joe Walsh to Santana.
    		    
    		    Their following has grown incredibly.  They played at 
    		    the Rock Pile in Saugus Saturday night and when they made 
    		    the announcement that they were changing pace and playing 
    		    all originals for the night, the crowd actually
    		    cheered.
    
    		    Definitely worth checking out.  They're at the Kon Tiki
    		    in Salisbury this coming weekend.
    
       	Rated R  -  They're an all original band out of NH.  Definitely
    		    worth checking out.  They'll be playing at Axis 
    		    tomorrow night.
    
    Anyone else?
    
    Sue

    
    
    RE-1
    
    	Alright!   Another Rated R fan!  These guys are good friends 
    	of mine.  I used to share an apartment with one of them. 
    	Great band, definately worth checking out.  
    
    
    Steve

re: Fortune

Dave Ickes (fellow DECcie and guitarist in my band) went to see these guys
last weekend at Ovations, and came away raving about them. Cool harmony 
guitars, great song choice, an excellent vocalist, they seemed to have it all.
He especially mentioned a killer version of "Hotel California" they did.

I'll have to check them out sometime, for sure!

alan

    
    Alan, he's right.  They do a killer version of Hotel California.  
    The lead singer, Bobby Vose, definitely has an unbelievable voice.
    I'm not saying this because he's a friend from college....he really
    is incredible.
    
    And for the ladies....he's very easy to look at!  (You agree Sha?)
    

    RE:  Note #2...definately check Fortune out sometime soon.  They are as
    incredible as your friend said.  I heard that Ovations rocked.  It is
    actually the 1st Fortune show that I have missed this summer.  The lead 
    singer is a very good friend of mine and very talented as is the rest
    of the band.  If you've never been to the Kon Tiki check it out this
    weekend while Fortune is there.
    
    RE:  Rated R.  Good friends of mine too.  A fun band to see and to
    listen to.
    
    A couple more local bands to check out would be Xplicit and Lord Bain.
    Xplicit is another all original band and Lord Bain is an all original
    band that has a lot of qualities of Queensryche.  So if you like Geoff
    Tates voice and you like the older stuff he did (The Warning, Rage for
    Order, or the EP) you will definately like Lord Bain.
    
    ~Rock on~

    P.S.  Hi Sue!
      

	I forget where I had mentioned them but the reason I couldn't locate
	their single was I was looking in the wrong bin!  I thought their
	name was Youth in Asia but it was Euthanasia.

	- Jim

    
    	
    	There is a pretty hot band out of the Worcester/Clinton area called
     OTTO. They play mostly original stuff but they do a great bunch of 
     cover tunes from Led Zepp , Tull , Judas Priest etc. The band has 
     two guitarists , a bass , a drummer and a lead singer that plays 
     flute and saxaphone and performs with reckless abandon on the stage.
    
    	They've done most of their gigs in Clinton and Worcester. Check 
     them out if you get a chance. They're pretty hot stuff.
    
    	They also hae an upcoming show that I'll post in the concert note
    #22.
    
    	Paul

    Are these guys on a label. Do they have any recorded material
    available??
    
    Bob

    
    	
    	They pressed a CD a few weeks ago but it's not in distribution yet. 
    When I find out more I'll throw some info at ya.
    
    	Paul

    FORTUNE is playing tonight @ Ovations in Peabody. Go see them, you
    won't be disappointed. Check previous notes in this topic for comments
    about the band.

    HOw do you get to ovations?

    Has anyone heard of Lord Bane?  I saw them at Edible Rex on Sunday
    night, and they were awesome. They are playing again the opening
    (reopening) night of the Channel on November 18th , I'll surely be
    there.  Any reviews?

    Correction to note 10.125:  Opening night of the Channel is Nov. 5th,
    not November 18th, but the band is still playing on the 18th.

    Surely he means "Seasoned veteran" Mike Duponte, right?

    
    	I saw Rawhead Rex a few weeks ago ... not impressed at all.
    
    	For those of you who like death/thrash, they're probably good.
    	But I know hardly anything about that type of music, so it's
    	hard for me to say whether they're any good.  They were heavy
    	and lyrically inaudible, so I guess that classifies them as a
    	really good thrash band.
    

    
    Saw a band called "Dalhia's Dead" at the Cove this past Saturday
    night:  3 females on guits/drums, one guy playing bass.
    
    This band freakin' rocked!!  Heavy-duty stuff (attention Dle).
    They looked young, a bit nervous...but damn good for that joint
    in Worcester.  
    
    They'll be out at Club-490 in Fitchburg (I guess that's where they're
    from).  I think this place is an underage club--> Oh joy!  At any
    rate, I'll be headin' up there this Saturday night if anyone's
    interested.

    there is a show at the Causeway on Sunday Dec. 3rd
    Reason Internal Bleeding, Infestation, Overcast,
