Riff Randals- Press Club, Sacramento Ca 5/3/00 transfer from master VHS tape RAD Pets
I have never seen the Riff Randals live and wow are they amazing!
Here’s what Discogs says about them:
The Riff Randals (from Sacramento California!) were a four piece, raunchy Rock and Roll band. Four-on-the-floor scrappy Ramones-rock at it’s best. Features Lori Gilpatrick (RAD, Shark Sandwich, Whiz-Bang, Milhouse SMF) on vocals, Heather Crocker (Nacho Business) on drums, Candice Adams (Nacho Business, Milhouse USA, Sunshine Smile, the Knightmares, the Readymades) on bass & Allison Jones (PETS) on guitar.
I wish I could have seen the band play live. So much energy. Huge thanks to Ken Doose for videotaping them.

The Beautys- Press Club, Sacramento Ca 5/3/00 transfer from master video tape Fort Wayne Ind Punk
Thanks to Jay Onyskin for his comment on a different video from this night- it helped me piece together who this band was. Discogs: “Punk rock band from Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA, led by guitarist/vocalist Kathleen Gregg, aka, Chica Baby. Active from the mid 1990s into the early 2000s.” They released a couple full-lengths and a bunch of 7″s.

Lizards- Press Club, Sacramento Ca 5/3/00 transfer from master/low gen VHS tape
Oh wow, it’s a Lizards video! Cool. It looks like this incarnation of the band has Dave Downey on guitar and vocals, Jay Onyskin on bass, and I think that is a young Matt K Shrugg on drums back there. Sacramento legends- I thought I heard rumors of the band starting to practice again but I don’t think anything came of it.

The Helper Monkeys- Press Club, Sacramento 5/3/00 transfer from master/1st gen VHS tape Punk
Here is some more local awesomeness from Ken Doose’s collection. Helper Monkeys videos are hard to find, and they opened a killer show at the press club 26 years ago. I missed this era of Sacto punk and I really liked this band when I heard them long after their breakup. Super happy to get some more video.
I denoised this but the video camera that (I think) Ken used was super grainy. I might take another shot at a more aggressive denoise.
