Charlotte's Webb, Rotten Excuse - Howard's Club H, 4/14/92


April 14, 1992. We received another reader email, this time from Dean Bianchi, which gives us a rotten excuse to break out another flyer from '92 (for some reason, we have more flyers from this year than any other). Dean played in Charlotte's Webb, one of the few (the only?) early '90s local bands to have a woman guitarist (Charlotte Webb Swenson herself). The local scene was and is (what's left of it) heavily dominated by men, although thankfully that seems to be changing (Hot Love, The Dirty Damn Band . . .).
Great site! Saw the Charlotte's Webb flyer on Facebook from a friend of a friend. Brings back tons of memories . . . For what its worth, I was in Charlotte's Webb for a bit in 92-93 . . . I have a few shows taped but so far have only managed to upload one tune to You Tube... Hoping to get more BG era stuff online soon.
Charlotte's Webb were loud, heavy and played a species of metal that's always been popular in the Black Swamp, and were for a brief time one of BG's better supported underground bands (even though they were based in Toledo, I think). You can read much more about the history of Charlotte's Webb here (thanks to former Webby Matt Duncan for the link).

I don't think I was at this show, although I might have been and don't remember. Anyway, here's Charlotte's Webb, which may or may not be from the same show as the flyer. Thanks Dean!
