This was a John Kass birthday show
The 1st Avenue calendar for November 1994, along with cross referenced dates from other cassettes indicates the bill featured:
The Spectors
Thee Viceroys
Autumn Leaves
Powerful Star Drag
Notes attached to the Spectors tape from this night indicated tape notes indicate bill also included: Wahinis [ – would there have been five bands on the bill? ]
During The Spectors set, Chris thanks Thee Viceroys, Autumn Leaves, and Wahinis; and also mentions that Plasticland was originally scheduled to play but had to cancel; and calls out John Kass’ birthday at the end of their set.
Somewhere in my archives, I should have some photos from the evening, which – when located – might help clear up details about the line-up for the evening.

Also on this bill [confirmed]:
Mountain Singers [unconfirmed slot]
Dylan Hicks And His Golf Ball Sized Boogie [next up after John’s Black Dirt]
Johns Black Dirt
Live sound: Colin Levine
(Frazer Gardner was confirmed as running sound for Johns Black Dirt)
Cross – referencing the date indicates a Radio K benefit show took place on this date in the Entry, featuring:
King Can
Wahinis
It’s unclear at this point in time whether there were two shows on that date, or if all the bands mentioned here performed in conjunction with the Radio K benefit.
The Rainbow Girls [?] were announced as being the next band, so the complete bill remains a bit of a mystery at this point in time.

As always – it is definitely worth your time to track down any of the band’s releases!
The band’s 1990 and 1991 self-titled demo cassettes, along with two 7” singles, have been spotted on the discogs site.
