Vomitorium- Dave’s Garage, Albany Ca 2/7/87 xfer f/master VHS tape enhanced Mother Hips Benjamin Kit

Chris Eng filmed a bunch of east bay bands, some of which became very popular… while others played a few shows, maybe released a demo, and that was it. Vomitorium is a band that falls in that latter category- but a couple of their members went on to do some other things. Vocalist Rumpkin Bignose Scaribreakfast(real name Christof Certik) and guitarist Zanzibar Buck Buck McFate(real name Gideon Zaretsky) went on to play in the psych-pop band Benjamin Kitestring. The duo also played with/engineered a diverse number of bands such as Mother Hips, Buck-o-Nine, and Vicious Rumours. Who woulda thought.

Vomitorium-924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 6/6/87 xfer f/master or low gen soundboard cassette east bay punk

Here’s one from Chris Eng’s audio tape collection- one of the more obscure East Bay Punk/early Gilman bands.

Vomitorium is Vocalist Rumpkin Bignose Scaribreakfast(real name Christof Certik) and guitarist Zanzibar Buck Buck McFate(real name Gideon Zaretsky) who went on to play in the psych-pop band Benjamin Kitestring. The duo also played with/engineered a diverse number of bands such as Mother Hips, Buck-o-Nine, and Vicious Rumours. Demoniaxxe aka John Gossard from Vomitorium went on to black metal bands Weakling and Dispirit, doom bands Asunder and The Gault. On drums Chucky Upchuck aka Jesse Eisland , on bass Chaoticore Evile Notniceica aka Andrew Garcia-Price

I think this might be Chris’ master board tape, but I did not get a chance to confirm. Also, the mix moves around a lot, so that doesn’t make it a good candidate for a rebalance.

Vomitorium- Rehearsal, Bay Area, Ca Early 1986 Thrash Metal Parody

It’s purely a coincedence that I am sharing a demo from Vomtorium on Valenties Day. It was just the one that happened to be next up and doesn’t necessarily reflect my views on love… but they might not be too far off.

This one is from Chris Eng’s collection. He knew the band so I assume he got it right from them. It did have a decent amount of hiss that I was able to improve with Izotope Rx8.
