Mirrors and Wires & The Roadside Graves

Every year, the town of Metuchen holds their Junebug Arts festival, every Friday in June. This year, aside from a bunch of dance performances, the bands Mirrors and Wires & The Roadside Graves played, with performances by the Honor Amongst Thieves travelling vaudevillians in the parking lot behind The Raconteur (more events here)


Mirrors and Wires:




The Roadside Graves

Mike Bruno & Mattress @ The Raconteur (2011)

March 31, Metuchen, NJ... first off, a stripped down version of Mike Bruno and the Black Magic Family Band:



Also playing that night was Mattress, from New Brunswick:

Ryanay (2011)

We've posted some of his live stuff before, but this was recorded at a bookstore... how's that for indie cred?... (I gotta stop writing these descriptions after going out to a bar to drink)... Again, here's Ryanay, doing what he does best:... doing what he does... best...?

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:
