Nativ Virus (sort of, 2005)

I already posted a Nativ Virus set, but these two videos are from a bit earlier than the others... During the weekend of April 21-23, 2005, members of the band, including members of Doomsday Sleepover, The Yets, King Astro's Trip, Preach Bitter Sermons, and a few others traveled to Poughkeepsie, NY to record in a studio... This first video is some of the footage of that recording session, plus the aftermath (a bonfire and a voyage to find blue rocks).



This next video is from April 23, 2005 at a house on Senior St. Andrew/Lifers, Anthony and JP of Bog Body/Vehm, and K played a last-minute set at the end of a show.

Waste Gates (2008)

An east coast sludge pile based out of (at the time) Baltimore, New Brunswick, and Providence, Waste Gates fucking rules. Anthony and JP of Vehm and Bog Body with James from INTENSE and Christmas, and a side of Dylan on electronics makes this performance at S.Carey Studios//America in Baltimore on April 17, 2008 fucking rad.

Here are a few shots of their

next show, 3 days later, at the

Big Rock Candy Mountain in Philly.

DJ Dogdick & Zomgrul Octim (2008)

DJ Dogdick (Max Eisenberg) and Zomgrul Octim (JP of Vehm and Bog Body) played together for a few shows in the spring and summer of 2008, including a set at the 2008 International Noise Conference. This particular video is from April 13, 2008 at Th' Bank, Max's place in west Baltimore... Also playing that night were Earth Crown (Door), Kakerlak, and a few others I can't remember.



...and here are a few pictures from that adventure in B'more.

Vehm (2007)

This band, possibly more than any other, is the one I regret not getting a good video of the most. There might be a reunion show sometime in late December, but details are still iffy... Vehm is Anthony of Doomsday Sleepover and Bog Body on guitar, JP (Zomgrul Octim) on drums and George of the Symptom screaming.

This show was at the burrito shop on Easton Ave. sometime in the spring of 2007, and was recorded with a shitty digital camera... the audio goes a little out of sync with the video in part 2, but what the hell, watch it anyway.

Bog Body (2010)

Special thanks to Mike of The Brown Christmas for filming and posting this one. Bog Body is Anthony of Doomsday Sleepover, Waste Gates, and Vehm, JP aka Zomgrul Octim of Vehm, and Tony Funfetti of Pact of Wolves and Pots and Powercells doing stoner grunge. This is from March 27, 2010 at the hose formerly known as The Nicolas Cage.

Doomsday Sleepover (2005)

Doomsday Sleepover, precursor to many New Brunswick bands such as Vehm, Waste Gates and Bog Body, Started out in 2004 as a three-piece that included K. Winter on electronics, Anthony Roque on guitar, and a drummer. After a couple of shows, Winter left the band and David Roque joined on bass, and shortly afterwards, Bruce on vocals.

This video is from March 10, 2005 during a span of several months during which a slew of bands played in the basement of a house in Rutgers Gardens. Since this was more than 5 years ago, I struggle to remember other bands that played that night that would be worth noting, but one day I might remember and post here.

And just for the hell of it, Here's a shitty quality version of Black Flag's Rise Above from May 29, 2005 at Castle Puppy.
