Happy Monday! Here are 4 more Sacto Active Rocks for you. I borrowed Lizz’ master videos(THANK YOU)and converted/posted them for her. Out of all of them, this one was the biggest surprise. I was a big metalhead in the early to mid-80s. In fact, the very first concert I taped(audio) was Sentinel Beast at Helvetia Park in 1985. So, I start the VHS capture of this one and I was looking at the screen(no sound when I capture), thinking “that really looks like Debbie Gunn.” Well, sure enough, it is. She in Brutal Groove for a short time after Sentinel Beast and Znowhite. Awesome!
here I am at 16 years old, singing death metal and playing bass. nobody ever believes me that i grew up playing hardcore death metal (before it was cool). this band became Phorenzik and we got pretty big in Northern California in the early 90’s. comedy!

Here’s the FAR episode of Sacto Active Rock. Members: Malcolm Keefe- Bass; Shaun Lopez- Guitar; Jonah Matranga- Vocals; Chris Robyn- Drums. Please check out all of the sacto active rock episodes on my youtube channel. Enjoy!
It’s another late one from Gabe Meline’s collection. Since we discovered that Tony Evjenth filmed the Green Day Santa Rosa High School show and this was on the same VHS tape, I am going to assume that this was filmed by him as well. If anyone can confirm or deny, I would appreciate it.
I love this description of the band from a discogs comment: “One of the greatest live bands that never made it.
Mr Bungle, Primus and every other Northern California band from the late 80’s to thru the early 90’s were just opening acts for these guys.”

This one is from Laura Martinez’ collection and it is an interesting one. The band released 2 CD’s- one while they were active in 1994, and one by reissue label Metal Mayhem Music in 2004. These versions of these 3 songs might be on that reissue – they are on there in the same order, but I thought that these could be different mixes/versions so up it goes.
All of the members- Bobby White, Buzz Raley, Corey Rain, Kurt Christopher, and Ted Swahn didn’t seem to release any other music with any other bands either before or after PC.

I was supposed to post something from Scott Davey’s collection today, but that will need to wait as the capture PC is running video now. That’ll happen tomorrow.
This one is from Anonymous 2’s collection and it’s another demo from a regional artist. Lethal Gospel released 3 albums and a couple of 7″ from 1984-1990. This demo comes after all of that and these 3 songs are on their final CD “Veneral Tonic”. I don’t know if these are the same versions, but Shazam and Youtube can’t ID them. At the end of this 3 song demo is a bonus 4th song that seems to be from a different recording session- the recording levels were different and the J-card does not list the song.

Another video collections post from my VHS tapes, by way of Craig Hilmer. This was the last segment on that San Antonio Cable tape. It might be a master, but it doesn’t look like a master. Must be Rock the World’s high production values, heh heh.
If anyone can help me make out the names of the blues performers, I would appreciate it!

My video transfer setup is still giving me trouble, so let’s pull this one out for today. You should get a Chris Eng video tomorrow- and it is a rare one! I hope I can keep up with this “collections video every day” thing. Lossless capture has been finicky and it is time consuming when it goes well… I think it is time to stand up a 2nd lossless capture setup.
Craig Hilmer taped this off TV when he lived in San Antonio and mailed it to me back in 1992. Really neat interview and live footage. Are there any other video interviews of Luna from this time frame? I don’t recall seeing one.
