Buckets & Batteries (2003, repost)

I uploaded this video ages ago, but in separate parts. Now, I'm uploaded it in one part. Fuck grammar. Here's Buckets and Batteries:

Pots & Powercells (2010)

It's hard to say whether Pots & Powercells rose out of the ashes of the dispersal across the East coast of members of Buckets & Batteries, or if they're merely in the same mindset, but started in the fall of 2009 and with a few local shows and a breif 3-city weekend mini-tour under their belts, Pots & Powercells already has a few tape and cd-r releases out, and after nearly a year of playing shows, somebody (Mike of The Brown Christmas, actually) finally decided to film the set, send me the file, and make it possible to get out there to an audience bigger than the real world: The Internet.


Members of the Human Adult Band, Bog Body, Pact of Wolves, The Yets, Mike Bruno and the Black Magic Family Band, and several other one-off New Brunswick projects regulary jam with the band, and the rotating cast of characters means you're unlikely to seem the same style jam twice.

Here, for your viewing and listening... pleasure... Pots & Powercells live in Sewaren, NJ at a log-burning-barbecue playing on a porch to a bunch of young punks. A last-minute addition to the show, was a nice ending to a long first of two days of weird jams and punk bands. 

Tapes and CD-Rs are available from dihd and Bone Tooth Horn.

Buckets and Batteries (2003)

This is from about a year before I started going to New Brunswick shows and as such, was filmed by Ravi, the owner of the now-defunct Thinisu, an Indian/American fusion restaurant on Easton Ave. in New Brunswick. Members of Buckets and Batteries include Trevor Pennsylvania, most of the Magnet City Kids. Shot over the course of 8 hours on September 20, 2003 and mostly outdoors, this mini-documentary is an interesting watch. As of the writing of this, the sequel band, Pots and Powercells, which includes T. Penn, still plays shows in the New Brunswick area.
