Thanks to a kind benefactor, we now have transfers of about 30 “Sacto Active Rock” episodes straight from the VHS masters that were taped off of cable. I will post these as time allows.
Yo Mama from Grass Valley at the Cattle Club in Sacramento in 1993. taped by j.r.s.
Recorded by: J.R.S.
Mommy was Skid Jones & Paul Niklewicz’ band after Go Dog Go, and before Skid started Magnolia Thunderfinger. You MUST watch the interview after the performance. Skid is sitting on a throne with the guys surrounding him. When Lizz asks a question, he sits there and someone offstage (PAUL) answers for him! It is bizarre. Mommy was: G.B.- Guitar, Vocals; Jones- Guitar, volcals; Timm Freeman- Drums; Pawelek Stansilaw Niklewicz- Bass.
Here’s Thornucopia- a Davis band that played in the late ’80s/early ’90s around the area. If my memory serves me correctly, I think they opened the Nirvana Cattle Club show. Johanna later married Guy Kyser from Thin White Rope. They had a band called The Mummydogs together. Thornucopia were: Jed Brewer- Guitar. Nick Frederick- Bass. Johanna Galos- Vocals. Brian Gattridge-Drums. Justin Zimmerman- Guitar. Please tag them if you think they are interested in seeing this. Please subscribe to my youtube channel if you’d like notifications of new posts.

Here’s a band that I wish I had seen, but was never able to. Moist was Sunita, Karen and Wendy’s band prior to The Skirts. In fact, you can hear some early Skirts songs/riffs in some of their catalog! SO Awesome to be able to see them.
Hi Everyone- Here is the Decibels’ appearance on Sac Active Rock. Members are Joseph Pach- Bass and Vocals. Dean Seavers- Guitar, Vocals. Kevin WIlliams- Drums. Enjoy! I am putting up over 30 Acto Active Rock episodes, so please subscribe to my youtube channel if you want to see more.
Here’s Little Guilt Shrine’s appearance on the show. Great stuff. Members: Britton Holland: Drums; Dana Gumbiner: Vocals/Bass; Matthew Holland: Vocals/Guitar. I think. We’re a little less than halfway through posting all of these! Hang in there.
Man, I really don’t know much about these guys. They are labeled as an “avant-gard troupe” on some websites. Feel free to chime in with more info about them if you’d like, or let the band members know that this has been posted: Jack Hastings- Bass; James Stewart- Drums; Bob Jolly- Guitar; Gary Sears- Keyboard, Bass; William Fuller- Vocals, Keyboards; Linda Melvin- Vocals; Jane Hastings- Vocals. Enjoy.
