...lead singer of the Dead Boys gyrated in a rent pair of blue jeans occasionally flashing one pallid cheek to the congregation. As he crooned in a raspy baritone, he slid one hand into his pocket and drew out an enormous Bowie knife, which he held to the guitarist's throat in a skinnyboned imitation of a hard-ass punk. After picking his teeth with the knife, the Boy tired of that toy, only to pick out a new one for the next number: a pink plastic pleasure machine, with which he caressed his bony pelvis in mock ecstasy between...
...single stylistic category, avoids the affectations of contemporary idioms, and consciously builds new music from the essential structures of the old. This is exactly what happened last Monday night at the School of Contemporary Musicwhen 25-year-old Cambridge singer Jeannie Lieberman was accompanied by composer/pianist Bruce Kushnick and guitarist Richard Johnson in a program spanning the gamut of contemporary music-from the surreal to the absurd, from a capella and dulcimer to electric...

Together they produce yet another collection of tight riffs--some might call them predictable--with a steady bass company and a highly-amplified guitar sound, usually controlled just short of distortion. They are not virtuosos in the mold of Cream members with their constant technical competition...
