Rutgers Gardens Family Jam (2005)

The last set of the night on March 26, 2005, this jam featured all of the members of Doomsday Sleepover, Coalition of the Willing, Preach Bitter Sermons, VHS Porn, and a bunch of other kids playing every instrument we could find, being as loud as possible in the middle of nowhere at some godforsaken hour in the A.M. It was basically a precursor to Nativ Virus.

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.

Nativ Virus (2005)

This little gem comes from June 9, 2005 and features members of Doomsday Sleepover, Human Adult Band, Pots & Powercells, Ryanay, Bog Body, and Vehm. Recorded at Woodbridge High School in front of a crowd that clearly is not into it (watch and enjoy as groups of kids stand up and leave, some actually running), playing as loudly as possible, rolling around the stage and floor, and clearing out the room.


Luckily, this was the last set of the night, which was filled with nu-metal emo bands and Ryanay jamming out with a friend who played cello. Watch all the way through and you get the prize at the bottom of the box... a reaction video.


Apparently, this was the last time this school had a class show. Special thanks to Kate (Lifers' sister) for filming this. It would have been difficult to hold the camera with one hand on a mixer and the other punching a box of what was once a car windshield.





(at 5:36 in the video, there is a single frame of band member Mike striking a pose, perfectly illuminated by a camera flash. Check it out. It's great.)

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.
