Satana / Human Waste Project
In: Glasgow @ The Cathouse
Date: Jan 1998
By: Grahame Bent.
Step inside the Cathouse and Tarrie B's marketability as the embodiement of
'metal girl power' is confirmed by the sight of the demonically cute '666
The Number of the Bitch' girlies only t-shirts on sale at the merchandising
counter. More on the Queen Bitch laster, but first a date beckons with the
charmingly monickered Human Waste Project.
This LA quartet are an intriguing bunch who, it's got to be said, sound nothing
like as dark as their name might suggest, but instead revel in a sound that,
on first impressions, seems to touch on reference points as diverse as Janes
Addiction and the B-52s(!) Still, for all the occasional poppy edge to bottle
blonde front gal Aimee Echo's flights of vocal fancy, there are bouts of convulsive
aggression that suggest she's already picked up rather more than the odd tip
from the court of Queen Tarrie. Having played their allotted warm up role
with some distinction, the reaction of the impressively healthy turn out speaks
for itself.
