WARSTARS
(and some other bands)
Ash St Saloon, Portland, OR

* * *

Warstars was ready to destroy everything on stage at this show. A really great show for the band and the Warheads. Andy Warstar was once again posessed by the spirit of Kaptain Slogbaud and hypnotized the ladies with his sexy physique.

Battleship Potamkin couldn't make it to this show, so Madame Bortkill (Gryndor's girlfriend) was his stand-in as drum machine operator. Also, this show marked the debut of second bassist and satellite performer, Agent Smith.

Warstars actually left most of their equipment in tact at this show, simply playing a fine set. Andy played a solo version of "Attached 2 You" marked by Kreist Gryndor's occasional screaming. Newer innovations, such as the Warstars Medley marked progression in musicianship and style.

Warstars would never be the same after performing weird bits like "Ghengis Khan". A version of "Molly's Lips" was played harder than Nirvana or the Vaselines ever concocted. Warstars version of Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive" and Sinead O' Connor's "Black Boys On Mopeds" shocked and amazed the audience.

Warstars finished the set off with "Teenage Lobotomy Jam" again, which featured Kreist Gryndor on lead vocals.
