FM Knives were quasi-legendary Sacramento guitarist and producer Chris Woodhouse’s old garage punk rock band, and seem to not have been featured on SMA before. Active only from about 2001-04…they did reunite to play a final show in 2016 at The Hemlock, which as of October 2018 is no more, gentrification claims yet another SF live landmark.
Audio on here is a bit overdriven (no surprise with that) but it is still plenty listenable.
Visqueen, 08/17/2003, Old Ironsides, Sacramento CA, Audio (Live Performance)
Recorded by: Jim McLain
Comments by Jim McLain: A Sunday show at Old Ironsides. The band had played Denver the night before and then driven to Sacramento. The original recording was not very listenable but it has been remixed and sounds better than ever. A fun show and I like pizza!
Go Go’s- California State Fair, Sacramento Ca. 8/15/03 Audio Xfer from DAT Master
This one is pretty mediocre. It looks like there is a better recording on the internet, but it only has 2 songs. This was my favorite era of the go go’s- I loved their later output. This was the God Bless the Go Go’s tour, so you get Unforgiven, Throw Me a Curve and more!

The Enemies- Bottom of the Hill, San Francisco Ca 8/10/03 xfer from VHS-C Master Tape Punk
Alright folks, here is a rare WEEKDAY video from Arica Pelino’s collection. She likes the weekday video posts, so here you go.
Arica followed the band around on a tour with Subhumans in March of 2003, and then filmed this one on one of the same tapes from later in the year. This one is probably one of the better sounding ones out of the set.
Oh, by the way, The Enemies are playing for the first time in years at the BOB fest at Gilman in April. Other killer bands are on the bill. Grab a ticket and come say hi to me. I’ll be the nerd with the video cameras, as usual!

Tossed Quartet- Luna’s Cafe, Sacramento Ca 8/9/03 master recording Tony Passarell Archive Free Jazz
Let’s head over to Tony Passarell’s endless archive of tapes and discs. This one was on CD so I am not sure how it was taped. It sounds great, so the equipment must have been decent.
If anyone has any more info about Tossed Quartet (members etc), please let me know.
Recorded by: Tony Passarell and friends
