Sound Menu June 27 2001 Sun
BUCKCHERRY, SINOMATIC, ECONOLINE CRUSH — See article. Newcomers Sinomatic have that kind of huge, heavy, major-label pop sound that is readymade for the arena. As with the straightforward rock bands of yore, upfront guitar and vocals jockey for position in crafting a pure, if somewhat familiar, energized rock experience. Canada’s Econoline Crush performs a more clinical, even coerced style of contemporary rock, incorporating the now less-than-unconventional flavors of electronic programming and turntable scratching. PlanetJam Cotton Club (Hutchinson)
LIZ MELENDEZ — See listing for June 27. Pepper’s/Riverdale (Sarig)
SPEARHEAD FEATURING MICHAEL FRANTI — See Record Reviews. Smith’s Olde Bar (Kelly)
