Shows of note as of 01/12/95 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES The Empty Bottle show on 2/24 with Spectrum / Air Miami / Cath Carroll is actually at Metro. The Metro show on 1/28 has Veruca Salt making a secret appearance. One of the members of Solar Tribe, also on the bill, sent me mail saying so. I'm not 100% sure he was serious. Updates as needed. Nick Lowe is actually at Park West, not the Vic. Poster Children are playing some sort of snowboarding event on the 28th, somewhere out in Michigan. Mail me for more info.
