The Enemies- Roxy, Hollywood Ca 3/31/03 Xfer from VHS-C Master Tape Enhanced Lookout Records Punk

Late post from the collections today, but it is a short one. This one comes from Arica Pelino’s videotapes. She likes her stuff to be posted on weekdays, so you get a surprise weekday video!
It’s only 2min and 35 seconds long. If the Roxy was anything like when I lived in L.A., they probably shut her down. I remember filming the San Diego and Coach House shows of Luna’s July 1994 tour with full permission, so I swagger up to the door at the roxy.
Security Dick: “what’s that?”
Me: “A video camera. I have full permission from the band (smile)”
SD: (no smile) “We don’t care. Take it back to the car. It’s not coming in here tonight”
So, I took it to the car and snuck the DAT in and audio taped. Jerks.

Anyway, The Enemies are playing for the first time in a long time… maybe since I saw them at Gilman, opening for Green Day in 2015. I can’t tell since setlist.fm has multiple bands named “enemies” all commingled. They are playing with the Subhumans, Scene Killers (Jesse Townley’s first US show in years) and Tension Span (Noah Landis from Christ on Parade’s great new thing). Buy a ticket soon if you want to go.

The Enemies- Colonial Theater, Sacramento Ca 3/30/03 xfer from VHS-C Master enhanced Lookout Records

I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting that facebook introductory post to get noticed the way it did. Thanks for checking out the website and the facebook group! I had a different post queue’d up today that was not Sacramento related, but I figured I should put up something from Sacramento today, so here you go. I tried to do a different show (from Cattle Club) at the last minute but it is taking forever to process and pluraleyes won’t synch it. So, let’s try that one in a week or 2.
This one is from Arica Pelino’s collection. She doesn’t like videos to be posted on the weekends- I hope she can forgive me. I heard that The Enemies might be coming back to play Gilman in April, but I don’t think there has been an official announcement yet. That would be fun to see, I saw them for the first and last time at the Green Day Gilman show in 2015 (video available on the archive).
The enemies were opening for the Subhumans on this tour. Looks like Arica followed them up to the northwest, down to L.A. and over to Sac.

Subhumans- Showbox, Seattle Wa 3/27/03 xfer from VHS-C Master Tape incomplete

Here’s another short video for you- it’s short video day I guess. This one is from Arica Pelino’s collection. As I digitized all of The Enemies shows that she taped on that March 2003 west coast tour, there was this 3 minute clip of The Subhumans that was recorded after the enemies’ set that was not labeled on the tape. Taped from the backstage area- there are some great crowd/venue shots.

Barbara Manning- Luna’s Cafe, Sacramento Ca. 3/15/03 Audio Xfer from DAT Master

I remember this show well- I helped Barbara book her 2001 tour with the Go Luckys, and then did not hear much from her after that. I think this was her first Sacramento show after that tour, which ended in Sacramento. I went across the street to Simon’s to visit and she looked totally different than she did a year and a half before- and very happy.

Henry Rollins- Crest Theatre, Sacramento Ca 3/5/03 Xfer from DAT Master Complete Show Spoken Word

Here is one that I actually taped for This Date in History. Since Brian McKenna didn’t put on this show, I had no access to Hank so no soundboard this time. Listen to the 1997 show if you want that sweet soundboard quality.
This one came out pretty nice. Probably one of my better coresound mic recordings. It is super dynamic, so turn it up but be ready for bursts of volume.
It’s almost 3 hours long, so buckle up.

Recorded by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: Coresound battery box binaural mics with bass rolloff and a DAT (probably a Sony D7)
