994.1move or I might shoveOLTRIX::ZAPPIApunk rock pollyWed Mar 18 1992 19:2523
	One comment; they're very active supporting pro-choice and were 
	involved with the "Rock for Choice" benefit.

	With lyrics like "down at the creek smoking pot" and "...some chick 
	just grabbed my..." and some others that I won't mention here how 	
	could you go wrong?

	They have a some what similar sound to Babes in Toyland and Hole.

	They're also on a compilation 7" entitled "...and everything"
	featuring Babes...STP, and Hole.

	They're either about to sign with DGC or are expected to have a
	follow-up to "Smell the Magic" on another label that I don't recall
	other than Sup Pop.  Unless I've missed one in between.

	They're supposed to be in Boston / Providence some time soon and I'm
	really looking forward to seeing them.  Silly me for missing their
	Ground Zero '89 show but I won't miss them this time.

	fast but hardly frightening,

Not as rocking as Babes in Toyland, not as grungy as dickless, but not bad none
the less.  I've got a couple of their songs; `Shove' on `the Grunge Years', and
another one which eludes me on `Teriyaki Asthma Vol. 3'.  They've got at least
one album out `Smell the Magic', and another one on the way.  Playing in
England V. Soon.

	Lee, regarding those tour dates you just reminded me how much I miss 
	the defuncted "Rock Around the World"...

	Some from memory so...

		- speaking of compilations...also on one of the Radio Tokyo 
		  Tapes, "Women" doing their version of Ozzy's "Sweet Leaf".

		I know they're on the recent Teriyaki Asthma LP, but I forget
		which volume of the 7".  Babes have a track too.  Some good
		stuff on this one.

		They may also be on Sup Pop Rock City an import on Glitter../
		Germany if I recall.

		etc.

    Defunct?  Damn.  No wonder I can't find it anymore.
    
    I really loved this rag.

994.6Bricks Are HeavyOLTRIX::ZAPPIApigeon hole glassesWed Apr 15 1992 18:4411
	Their Slash release "Bricks Are Heavy" is in stores (states) now.
	I have yet to see the 4 track EP that I had heard was released.
	Anyone know?  Does it have all the same tracks as album?

	One track "Wargasm" has a sample of Yoko Ono.  As well as the note
	on the sampling they also thank her.

	Another Butch Vig production.
