The Winners, Local Teen, & Y/Y @ Dreamcastle (2012)

Once again, at Dreamcastle, this time a few days later on 9 March, 2012, we'll get a little weirder.


The Winners:



Next up, from the makers of King Astro's Trip/Happy Halloween/Good Weather/many others,

Y/Y:

Suicide Magnets & Good Weather @ Dreamcastle (2011)

For James (of The Yets/Scary Poppins/lots of other bands) birthday party on April 2 at Dreamcastle, there was one hell of a show... unfortunately, my camera was not charged enough to catch all of it, so here's what I've got so far:


Suicide Magnets:


Good Weather:

Halloween Fun

Here we have some videos from this past Halloween at Dreamcastle in Philadelphia. It was a spooky evening filled with dark/folk/psych music, ghosts, ghouls, and a sexy robot.

It wouldn't be a Halloween show without Mike Bruno and the Black Magic Family Band. Their eerily dark folkish songs are akin to listening to lullabies f0r demons



Snowbaby lightened up the mood with some mostly acoustic tunes that would be fitting to listen to whilst dancing with sprites through the woods





Haunted Houses played their brand of loosely structured melancholy folk-rockesqe jams




Lastly, Good Weather this is their first filmed set since 2005

King Astro's Trip (2005, full set)

A while back, I posted parts of this set, but now that I've found the original tape it was recorded on, I'm able to post the whole set... It's about 28 minutes long and recorded on May 29, 2005 at Castle Puppy:

King Astro's Trip (2005)

Another set recorded at Castle Puppy on May 29, 2005, This is what I have left of the video of their whole set, which, somehow over the years, has been lost to the land of digital misplacement, something like that place where all the left socks go.


I previously posted a set that Kevin (guitar) and Shae (drums) played together as "Good Weather" and that Kevin played with Dave of Doomsday Sleepover/Preach Bitter Sermons as "Red Dalmatian."


Other bands playing that night included Doomsday Sleepover, Social Junk, and Preach Bitter Sermons.

Lifers Interviews New Brunswick (2006)

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.

Good Weather (2005)

Good Weather, originally from Nutley, NJ, before relocating to Boston, MA then Jersey City, NJ, features Kevin and Shae of King Astro's Trip/Happy Halloween. This show, recorded on February 11, 2005, was on Senior St. in New Brunswick. Unfortunately, the video had to be trimmed for time and does not feature the beginning of the set, which is Kevin on a Casio SK-1 playing a melody of voice samples, but perhaps one day I'll get around to posting the whole set EDIT: fix'd. Kevin has also played solo as Most Furniture, with Pigeon Language, Red Dalmatian, and in some studio recordings with Nativ Virus that were made in 2005, recordings of the latter two have since been sitting on an external hard drive in my room for years pending release.


These dudes are sick.

Red Dalmatian (2004)

Definitely one of the oldest videos I have, this was recorded on December 11, 2004 at another now-defunct bastion of filth and weirdness, (hot) 97 Commercial Ave. Red Dalmatian is David Roque (formerly of Doomsday Sleepover and Human Adult Band on their European tour) on the saxophone and various electronics, Kevin Mulligan of King Astro's Trip/Happy Halloween, Most Furniture, and Good Weather, and Jaime Morren of The Yets, Coalition of the Willing, and Pots and Powercells.
My apologies for the poor video quality on part 1, the original tape is long gone. Also, keep an eye out for a young Door in the background.
