Another cool band to come out of Boston recently is called
_Tribe_.  This band has definetly received less attention than it
deserves.  If you get a chance to see them or pick up there disk,
_Abort_, do it!

Give your memories a nasty glare.  Kristen and Tanya both grew up in
RI, and their families are both there.  The reason they get known as a
Boston band is because the club scene in Boston is much better than
the club scene in Providence, and as a result they played more in
Boston.

Hell, technically Dinosaur Jr are a Northampton (MA) band, and Buffalo
Tom are an Amherst (MA) band.

S(n)ide note: I remember seeing Buffalo Tom open up for Camper Van
Beethoven (_OBRS_ tour) at the Student Union Ballroom at UMass/Amherst
years ago, and they SUCKED.  Big time.  Now they're a cool guitar band
to worship.  Who'd-a thunk it..?

Kendra first exploded onto the SoCal music scene playing bass in the late, 
great DREAM SYNDICATE.  She was on their _Days of Wine and Roses_ LP and at
least one other EP (sorry, forgot the title - may be eponymous) before leaving
the band which promptly went downhill without her.  Of course if it's her

  I have to agree that there are too many teenie boppers that worship Reznor and
there is a lot of bulllshit about him being the "founder" of industrial music,
but that does not make him any less of a musician, and as for him recording
another album.  He's been busy...I can't track down all of his projects but
besides working on the new album he has recorded and I'm pretty sure he toured
for a while with Pigface as well as producing another group who's name name
eludes me, and he has shown up on a song or two either singing,playing,or
producing with many other industrial groups.  It's not his fault the boppers like
him, face it, he plays hate music, how far can you get from the new kids and

Well, as one of the posters of the aforementioned srticles, I have to
say that part of the reason you see no descriptions is because it's
hard to find comparisons.  They're sort of pop/folky but totally weird,
like They Might Be Giants, but with more music.  ;-)  I know that
description doesn't really do them justice, but I'd like to see somebody

"Rave" is not the name of a kind of music, except in the USA where raves and
the associated things (music, clothing, etc.) are fast becoming popular.
You're probably looking for techno, like "James Brown Is Dead" by that faceless
one-hit wonder group LA Style.  Techno is really just fast electronic dance
music with bleeps or buzzes--you really can't categorize these things that
well.

>I thought that Lords of Acid were _somewhat_ what I was looking for....

Yes, somewhat.

>James Brown is dead, by LA Style might be an example.  

See above.

>PLEASE!  If anyone can help me with some Rave band names...... thanx!

Actually, there are not that many techno groups that have released much more
than a couple of singles...try Quadrophonia, T99 and especially Orbital, all
of whom have released (or will soon) self-titled albums.  Moby has done heaps
o' things under many pseudonyms.  The Prodigy have released a couple of
brilliant singles.

It's probably better to buy compilations, unless you have a _lot_ of money for
12" singles and CD singles.  Get "XL Recordings--The Second Chapter" (XL
Recordings XLCD-108) and "Champion Sound" (Kickin KICKCD 1).  Both are almost
unique in having no filler, just 100% bangin' hardcore madness (that's hip
rave-child-speak for "great tracks").

>BTW!  Has anyone been to a "wandering warehouse" Rave party were the 
>sensual drug XTC is said to be taken in large amounts?

Yes, probably hundreds of thousands of people have been to them.  They are
unique, fun and unmissable if you like dancing to techno, or even if you don't
mind the music and just want to take drugs, which many people do.  Ecstasy
_is_ taken in large amounts at many raves, and it's pretty expensive which
means that someone, somewhere, is making a large amount of money out of the
whole scene.  Conspiracy theories, anyone?

(She-la-na-gig)

PJ Harvey is a woman from Yeovil, UK.  Her band: PJ on voice, violin,
guitar...bass player, drummer.

Passionate & tense vocals, up-tempo folkish rock.  Some slower numbers which
still have that tension.  Lyrics cross some borders of feminism and are delivered
intelligently and interestingly.


(Chris 'n' Vickie in the US take note!)

All songs on the UK "Too Pure" label

Releases:  "Dress" EP
	   "She-La-Na-Gig" EP
	   "Dry" LP

the LP is available with an extra album if you're lucky.  I have the Dress EP
(which is on the album) and the CD.  There are 11 unlisted demo tracks, some of
which are acoustic demos of the album song.

I say 'only buy the album!' as the EPs only have 2 extra tracks (unless you're a complete-ist)

As an experiment, try tracking down some of the bands that folks like Greg

Negativland, and early Controlled Bleeding, and I think you'll see why NIN
gets compared to INXS and Depeche Mode so often.  I'm not definitively
saying that NIN isn't industrial, but if you take the time to listen to the
bands that pioneered industrial music, you'll see why some folks get worked

When I first wrote the charter for this group, I intentionally sanctioned
talking about such bands here, mostly because I thought the folks drawn here 
by the 'popular bands' (i.e. Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Nitzer Ebb, Nine Inch 
Nails) just might get into it enough to check out their noisier forefathers.

I have never seen one of her shows, but I've heard a few songs from 
"The Singer", her latest album, and it sounds great!!  From what I've 
heard of it, "The Singer" seems to be somewhat more melodic, and the 
"Vitriolic, abrasive theatrics" are more tamed; music seems to play a
more important part.  I've got photo and review passes for that show,
so I'll see you there (I'll be in the photo pit). It'll be a great show!!
