These tracks are from a compilation tape I released about 30 copies of back in 2006.

I've already posted a few Darves/Jenny Haniver videos, but this is the earliest set I have by him. Recorded on November 10, 2006 at World Trade Slayer on Comstock St, I think this might have been the first time I had a camera at one of his acoustic sets:
This next set was recorded at Meat Town on June 15, 2009 and is, so far, the most recent video I have of him... More from this set might follow as I go over the tape.
On November 24, 2006, Andrew Lifers took my camera and asked a few locals what they thought about New Brunswick. Here's what I woke up to on my camera the next morning.
Lifers, once a New Brunswick lifer, relocated to Baltimore in 2009 to continue his work deafening the crusties of today. This show was recorded at an old house on Louis St. in New Brunswick on November 11, 2006, one of his first solo sets. After playing in Preach Bitter Sermons for years and recording with Nativ Virus, Andrew started playing sets on his own, and here, for your viewing pleasure, is the first recorded set of his in New Brunswick.
Y'all didn't hear this from me, but I hear this motherfucker eats ice cream.
Recorded in Lifers' parents' basement in the January 2006, Womb Bomb features future touring bassist for the Human Adult Band, David Roque, who was also in Preach BitterSermons and Nativ Virus with drummer, Mike, and their then housemate Jen Mittens. Sincerely goofy and honest in the presentation, sitting through this was a fucking blast. Truly a shame that they never played again.
Without further ado, here is Womb Bomb performing their hit single, "Do The Funny Dance Move At The Dance!"
Thanks to Alex Brawler for recording this and giving me a copy to throw up on the 'Tubes.
(The guitar keeps cutting out because whilst flicking the lights on and off, the power switch was also turning the amps on and off.)
These fine young lads from Sewaren/Highland Park have been bringing their synth-based jams to the New Brunswick area since roughly 2005 and have more releases than I can keep track of. They can be reached through their somewhat frequently checked http://www.myspace.com/thebrownchristmas.
This first video is from a show on October 19, 2007 at the now-gone forever burrito shop on Easton Ave. in New Brunswick.
This next video comes from their first recorded, but third overall New Brunswick show, on November 24, 2006 and features the somewhat classic "Nobody knows what it's like to eat my dick tonight."
The Brown Christmas has many original videos featured on their YouTube channel.
