1993: Kristen, Bootlegs, & other stuff

Greetings everyone. I hope you’re having a nice summer (or whichever season it is in your part of the world). Today, I want to let you all know about a special project. A book is being written about Kristen Pfaff by her brother, Jason Pfaff, and Guy Mankowski. It’s titled I Know How to Live. If you subscribe to their Substack you can read the first volume, listen to recordings, look at never released photos, and many other things. I highly recommend it!

Now, on to site business. The Bootleg section for 1989-1993 is finally complete. The transcripts for shows from 1992-1993 aren’t quite finished yet, but will hopefully be done by next weekend. More content has been added for shows from 1993. BIG NEWS: I’ve learned that the July 12, 1993 show at Vaartkapoen in Belgium, which was previously thought to be cancelled, was actually played – and we have some footage of it in the documentary Not Bad For a Girl. I don’t know where that misinformation came from, but I’m glad it’s cleared up. Here are all the updated sections for this week:

• 03-19-1993 – Crocodile Cafe (Press)
• 07-01-1993 – Off Ramp (Photos, Press)

Constant Comment

Photos & press clippings have been added for Melissa & Patty’s 1996 side project, Constant Comment. If anyone has the full-sized version of pic 3, where Patty has been cropped out, please send it to webmaster@holearchive.com.

ALSO: Melissa recently made an appearance at a Machines of God concert (Billy Corgan’s new band) in Montreal. They performed The Smashing Pumpkins’ The Everlasting Gaze. I’m unsure of whether the show belongs on the SP tour page of this site or the MADM tour page, but for now I’ve put it on MADM. I may change my mind in the future.

• 07-06-1996: Center on Contemporary Art
• 07-10-1996: The Railway Club

1991 & Bootleg Guide

Newspaper clippings & flyers have been added for shows from 1991 & I’ve created more pages for the bootleg guide.
I confirmed with some newspaper items that Twisters was actually 7-22-1991, so I’ve removed the July 1991 show at the Cat’s Cradle in North Carolina for now. If I can find some definitive proof that they played there that month, I’ll put it back.

I’ve created some new sections for the site – a bootleg guide and tour histories for Janitor Joe (in 1994), Smashing Pumpkins (w/ Melissa), Auf Der Maur, and MADM.
