​ Below are the following: review of Cop and Speeder from an unknown magazine (possibly Alternative Press), two very short reviews from the December 1994/January 1995 issue of Flipside along with an ad from that same issue.

The other thing that happened on 9/20/94 was another show (at least the third) by Spudboys, the Devo tribute band featuring Elliott Smith, Sean Croghan, and others. The flyer below is from "pnwposters" on Instagram and was designed by  Dean-O. It does not state the year but it's believed to be 1994. The show was also with the bands Brothers "E" and Stupid Fuckerz.
