Stranger Danger - Lazy Fuck (2008)

So, I was sitting in a park this morning trying to film the sunrise. I failed. When I realized I had a track that fit the footage, I went back and listened to the rest.

Here's the inspiration to do this,



...and here's the rest of it:

Magnet City Kids (2008)

3 years later and I finally posted it... the whole Magnet City Kids set from the Burrito shop from March 22, 2008; enjoy!

Fun Machine (2008)

Another bunch of freaks from Middlesex County, Fun Machine has been shredding guitars, keys, drums, and brains for a number of years now, and I regret never getting a chance to film them (or filming them and losing the video, one of those two, can't quite remember), but thankfully YouTube user willyflynn (again, I gotta find out who this is) did.


First off, here's their song Liquid Pants (I believe off of an album of the same name, could be mistaken) live at the Lit Lounge in NYC on May 2, 2008:



And here's another live performance from November '08, might want to turn the speakers up on this one, it's a little quiet, but still freaky:



And finally, a performance on WRSU FM in New Brunswick, April 11, 2008:

Roadside Graves (2008)

I did not record this, I just found it on YouTube under user Willyflynn's account, but every time the Roadside Graves play the Court Tavern, it's packed, so it would be a sin to not post something by them... Here's Far and Wide live at the Court Tavern from January 2008:



I came across this as well on my search for a Graves video, and I might as well post it... from HearYa.com in Chicago (?), here's a really well done and recorded version of their song "Ruby."


Try to get that out of your head.


EDIT:
Holy shit, they have a music video:

DJ Dogdick, Zomgrul Octim, & Door (2008, interview)

Another non-music post, which there may be a few more of in the future, here's Max's (DJ DogDick's) attempted interview of stragglers at a pre-INC show in Orlando, Florida in February, 2008... I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did. (Please excuse my sidepipe.)



...And yes, we're all from Chaos420balls, France.


Here's a link to Scott Williams' show on WFMU where if you skip to about 1 hour and 23 minutes in, you'll hear Max as DJ Dogdick off of his most recent release (to date)

Pedro Angel Serrano (2008)

Also known as Old Man Pedro, here he is giving a spoken word performance on May 30, 2008:


(skip to about 5 minutes in for the actual start, before that it's just technical difficulties)

Bobo (2008)

Recorded on March 22, 2008 at the burrito shop, same day as this Bad News Bats set, and also from Philly, Bobo was simply great. I managed to pick up a copy of one of their their CDs, Live at Warm Daddy's, which came with a t-shirt and a free wash (a ziploc bag filled with laundry detergent). Again, since I didn't have my real camera with me, here's a couple medium-quality videos of high-quality weird:

Blastocyst (2008)

On May 9, 2008 Blastocyst (off of Heat Retention Records) came out from Brooklyn to play at th' burrito shop, and, before picking up their split with Reverse Mouth (which fucking rules), I filmed their set, so here it is:

Bad News Bats (2008)

Based out of Philadelphia, the Bad News Bats came out to the burrito shop to play along with Bobo on March 22, 2008. Unfortunately, I didn't have my real camera with me, so this is all from a crappy point'n'shoot digital camera.

Car Commercials (2008)

This set, played in total darkness, was recorded on May 22, 2008 at Mutiny's house on High St.

Vvltvre (2008)

This set is brutal as fuck. Lit only by a small light on a bass and another down a shirt, Vvltvre came down from Providence, RI to play at Mutiny's House on May 22, 2008 in almost total darkness and, for about 25 minutes, recreated a hell much cooler than the hell that is a New Brunswick Basement. They had played at Castle Puppy a few months earlier, but, unfortunately, there are no recordings of that set that I know of. 




Related band: Bonedust.


(I remembered I had to post this when I spilled beer on my shirt that I got from them at this show.)

Human Adult Band (2008)

This song, recorded on December 8, 2008, is, appropriately enough, about workin' the New Brunswick drunk scene and performed live at the Court Tavern on Church St. David Roque of Doomsday Sleepover/Preach Bitter Sermons/Pots & Powercells takes over on bass for this set and went on to play with th' Adults on their 2009 European tour.




Tapes, records, and CD's are available through dihd.net.

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.

Kakerlak (2008)

Another Baltimore resident, Kakerlak plays here at th' Bank in West Baltimore on April 13, 2008, a show that also saw Earth Crown and DJ Dogdick & Zomgrul Octim.

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.

JP, Anthony, James, and Max

Human Adult Band (2008)

This particular Human Adult Band set was filmed on January 19, 2008 at Mutiny's House, which at the time was becoming the only noise house left in town. Most other shows going on in town were more rock & roll oriented and the departure of Door to Baltimore was a blow to community, but Mutiny's House, until closing its doors at the end of summer 2008, had steady shows, usually twice a month but at times as often as twice a week. This was possibly the loudest Human Adult Band set I've recorded in New Brunswick and as such the audio is a bit blown out, but honestly, who doesn't love loud, slow, filthy rock and roll?

Numerous tapes, cd-rs, 7"s, and LPs are available at dihd.net.

Earth Crown (2008)

Another New Brunswick expatriate, Door aka Earth Crown moved to Baltimore after a number of years in town setting up shows at his house. This set was recorded on April 13, 2008 at Th' Bank in west Baltimore. Other acts that performed that night included DJ Dogdick & Zomgrul Octim, Kakerlak, several others I was too drunk to remember.


Other sets from this night will follow as I find them.

Magnet City Kids (2005, 2008)

The Magnet City Kids, formerly of New Brunswick, came up from Philadelphia a few times over the past few years to play. The first video is from April 1, 2005 at the Learning Secrets festival at one of the Rutgers buildings on the corner of George St. and Nichol Ave. Other bands that played that day included Wolf Eyes (During the day? On a large stage? Well-lit? LAME), Nautical Almanac, and Gorgot (featuring King Darves).



This next video is from March 22, 2008, again at the burrito shop I used to work at. If I can ever find the original video of the whole set, more of this will be added in the future.

ASPS (2008)

This set was recorded on January 12, 2008 at the "infamous" Castle Puppy, members of ASPS during this set include K. Winter of 2673, Tonio of Hikikomori, Kerr of Slow Tongued Beauty, and, of course, King Darves.
