Notes
REMEMBER... DEATH IS FOREVER
A floating fan (top right) orbits the
dance floor as Green Day ener
gizes City Gardens in Trenton, NJ.
Rumbling bassist Mike (above)
takes flight while guitarist Billie
Joe croons down. After a heavy
schedule of touring, the band
downshifted to working on a new
album, tentatively titled Dookie.
After they get through making
Dookie, Green Day will spread
Dookie across the United States.

Beyond the bullshit lip-synch video
enhanced rock opera stage shows of
the nineties, the spirit of live music
flourishes in clubs and halls across
the globe. A band doesn't need a
video or even a recording contract to
kick down some serious soul irepiring
sonic amplitude... How about them
Meices? Their sound is thick as bricks
and The Greatest Bible Stories Ever
Told rollicks with surreal shouts and
frenetic follow-throughs. On their
way back to the US from a gig in Van-
couver, the Meices were halted by
authorities at the border. Out came
the dogs, who immediately sniffed
telltale traces of THC on the inner
sanctums of the van. But the faint
residue was the only evidence to be
found, so the feds' case against The
Meices was temporarily revoked...
Heavy-handed shards of flying glass
fail from Trim, 9th Ward High Roller
by accomplished New York mayhem
makers Surgery. The angioplasti was
a success by all ear-witness accounts
...Girl Trouble is no stranger to the
otherworldly spheres inducted by
certain forms of live music. The
Tacoman terrors' latest Lp, New
American Shame, testifies to the
power of garage grown grooves, furi
ous growls and hellacious howls...
Nitro-fueled Alcohol Funnycar roars
down the road with no speed limits
in mind on a dual carb overdrive
hunk of highway caled Burn. Get in
or get out the way... The deepest
reverb to ever drip from a surf guitar
splashes like white water from the
double pick of Dick Dale. It's been a
long ride, but Dale still paddles on
out fifty-foot faces with the latest
album in his lethal legacy, Tribal
Thunder... A fiery meteor crashes
down from the sky creating huge
shockwaves that reverberate from a
bright rocketship-shaped hollowbody
guitar. The Splashdowns have land
ed, and the clean sheen of their
sound machines illuminate the corri
dors of original surf music. Watch for
their wake at clubs around the Pacific
Northwest John Wayne was a
Nazi and MDC are true Americans.
Murderous Defecating Charlatans are
ruining the world while Miniature
Diced Chickens are being shoved
down everyone's throats. Meanwhile,
the true MDC cracks the whip across
the US and Canada. Hey Cop, If!
Had A Face Like Yours is pure genius
dug deep in the Millions of Dead
Corpuscles vein... Nobody loves
them and Nobody cares, but
Nobody from Seattle rages with a
Wickler Scale
no-holds-barred punk rock an atti-
tude guaranteed to crack your skull
open and leave your brains bleeding
all over the dance floor... Crunt
plays what they mean and means
what they play, featuring Kat from
Babes In Toyland on bass, Stuart
from Lubricated Goat on vocals and
guitar, and Russell from John
Spencer Blues Explosion on drums.
Look for a new album on Trance Syn
dicate... Woe be it for The Dwarves,
lustrious guitar guru He Who Can-
not Be Named died from knife
wounds incurred in Philadelphia. "I
guess He Who was a little too wild
and tough to live," explains vocalist
Blag Jesus. The Dwarves' other gui
tarist, Crash Landon (Michael)
Landon's legitimate son) fell apart
when he heard the news. Reports say
Landon vowed the Dwarves would
never be the same and stormed off
after an offer from Testament to play
lead guitar. By a stellar coincidence,
guitarist Rex Everything from Kyuss
heard the news and offered his ser
vices to The Dwarves. But everyone
agrees, no one will ever replace He
Who. "He is the greatest rock star
who ever lived and he can never
die," said a teary Jesus.
