Whorelords- Melarkey’s, Sacramento Ca. 5/24/92 Tales of Terror Sex 66

So the philosophy of the sac music archive is to include ALL videos from Sacramento based shows/musicians/filmers/tapers etc… we don’t discriminate, even when the content is questionable. The videos I post may not reflect my personal views, or my musical tastes.
Now that we got that out of the way, here are the Whorelords. The whorelords were an all-star band consisting of Rat’s ass on vocals; Mike Farrell on drums, and Dave Zimini (from Apriori).

I see people I know! Lizz Fisher gives the camera the side eye at about 45 seconds in, and I think that may be Tom Hutchison at about 30 seconds. What a party!

Buffalo Tom- Cattle Club, Sacramento 5/19/92 DAT Master Soundboard Enhanced Bill Janovitz

Here is the headlining set from that insanely stacked Sebadoh/Pavement/Go Dog Go/Buffalo Tom bill. There was enough of the instruments in the mix to make this rebalance sound REALLY nice. Super happy with this one.
I am still kicking myself for running out of tape in the middle of Larry. It’s my favorite BT song.

Recorded by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: Sony TCD-D3 DAT into soundboard
Transfer equipment : Sony PCM-R500 and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card
Rebalance in Izotope RX7 (I can’t remember the exact settings, but it was mainly bass and guitar boost)

Pavement- Cattle Club, Sacramento Ca. 5/19/92 xfer from DAT Master Audio Malkmus Indie

This was an eagerly anticipated show, and this was also the first time I got to see Pavement play. I thought this was their first west coast show ever, but setlist.fm shows that a show took place in Davis in 1989. Hmm, I never knew. We were friends with Scott K (Spiral Stairs)- he even played bass in my friend roommate’s band for a show in 1990. We also knew Gary well, as my friends had recorded at his studio in Stockton. I wonder how he’s doing…

OH, and as a side note, one of my biggest taping screwups happened the next night. I video’d the entire 90 min set from Kennel Club and forgot to turn the mic on my camera on. Silent video. I was running on about 4 hours sleep and then drove to SF for the show, so I was dead tired. I then taped over almost all of it because I never thought people would care about silent video footage. I might have 5min of it on a tape somewhere.

Sebadoh- Cattle Club, Sacramento 5/19/92 xfer from DAT Master Rebalanced Lou Barlow

Last year, Brian asked if I could post these shows on 5/19 and I told him that I would get them ready for this year. I then transferred the DAT months ago, but I am terrible about these anniversary date shows, so it was on the spindle awaiting prep. I saw that he posted the poster on the anniversary date- YESTERDAY, so it lit a fire under me to finally get these done.
There is a funny story behind this one- I traded the raw mix of this tape back in the early 90s to a few people, and somehow it ended up for sale at a record show and Barlow saw it. The next time I asked to record Sebadoh (at Memorial Auditorium) he gave me a hard time about it. I apologized, but I told him I had nothing to do with it, other than taping the show. Gotta love them bootleggers.
