A slightly bitchy Mutiny review from the Alternative Press.

Live At The Malibu, Lido Beach, NY 2/29/96







TMJ played a WDRE-FM sponsored free show at The Malibu Night Club on Lido Beach, NY on Leap Day 1996. I hung out at the bar with Tommy before the show for a bit and he bought a few cans of Fosters. I recall him being pretty excited about the show. The headlining band was to Spacehog but they canceled, so TMJ were the default headliners. The show was great and TMJ really rose to the occasion. Of the two-dozen or so times I've seen TMJ I only actually ever got a physical ticket maybe two-times. This was one of them.

The review and photos are from Mixx Magazine Issue #58 Volume #8.

Mutiny Seventeen Review!!!



Perhaps not worthy of my triple exclamation points, but still funny nonetheless. I think this popped up in the Finally liner notes. Actually Liz, "Stay At Home" sounds like The Cars (or whomever Roy Thomas Baker applied his multi-tracking vocal technique to that week). But yes, we both agree that Tommy Vinton is TMJ's secret weapon.

Finally Review from The Bob (mid 1996)



A review from The Bob, one of the few newspapers that always seemed to have Robyn Hitchcock on every cover so I always bought it. Here's a review from there.

CBGB's, NY, NY 12/5/94 Shimmy-Disc Kramer benefit show










I saw TMJ at CBGB's the night of the Shimmy-Disc/Kramer benefit show. The venue was pretty empty, Jay was under-the-weather, Bill was still very new in the band and Tim was very loose. It was still a very enjoyable show. They played a few new songs - "Half Life", "A Texas Sunday", "I'm Your Wallet" and a song that bore more than a passing resemblance to The Kings' "Switchin' To Glide" - "Weak". I was able to obtain a soundboard copy of the show from a fan who got my attention as I filmed it. Granted I drank a bit too much, which affected my filming technique, as the band went on later than I'd anticipated.

Regardless, it's still one of my favorite TMJ concert experiences.

The photo of Bill, Tim & Penn Jillette performing the Bongos, Bass, & Bob hit "Clothes Of The Dead" was swiped from Joybuzzer (issue #7) and was taken by Emily Cameron. Pulse! Magazine (top), Good Times Newspaper (middle) and a listing for the show.
