Brutal Groove- Sacto Active Rock, Sacramento Cable Episode #17 1992 Sentinel Beast
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!
Phorenzyk- Cattle Club, Sacramento 1992
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!

Lethal Gospel- Demo 1992 xfer f/master demo tape San Francisco Hard Rock Punk
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.

Rock the World San Antonio Cable- Pitbull Daycare, Blues and more xfer f/low gen VHS tape
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!

Luna and Babes in Toyland- San Antonio Community Cable 1992 xfer f/master VHS tape Interview & Live
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.

Dirt- WFMU Live in Studio, E Orange NJ 1992 xfer from 1st gen audio cassette
Hopefully I can get some help on this one. This is another one of those uncirculated WFMU tapes that Jason Ross got from a guy named Matt back in the 90s. Dirt is a fairly common band name, and I cannot figure out which Dirt this band is. None of them on Discogs make any sense. The closest one that fits the description (Hardcore punk w/a woman on vocals) is an Anarcho-Punk band from London, but they were not active in 1992. If you know who this is, please let me know. They kinda rip.
From Jason Ross’ collection
Update: Thanks to dl_bass26 for this info: Dirt (Dirt (13) on Discogs) were a post-hardcore/noise rock quartet from Atlanta who existed from about 1989-1992. They released 2 albums and 2 singles before they split up. Their singer/guitarist John Forbes later formed Mount Shasta, while the other members formed Seersucker.

Tilt- Demo 1992 Lookout Records Punk Cinder Block xfer from master demo cassette tape
Here is one (from Anonymous 2’s collection) that I am surprised is not online yet. There are copies for sale on discogs, so it can’t be that rare. That being said, the $200 discogs price for a demo tape is too rich for me.
I’ve said it before, but what a great band. They had the songs and the talent from the beginning as you can hear. They should be a top-tier band, even today. They should be making the big bucks on a punk in the park, riot fest, etc or whatever. Don’t know what happened.
