Great show last night. There was no place to film- I did the first 3 bands from the floor and they are not so good. I will upload those next week. I had to get creative and I finally found a decent spot for Monsula and Corrupted Morals. Monsula’s set was MUCH higher energy than the show at 1234 go records last week.

Scherzo opened the Friday night show at Gilman. They put out a 7″ on Lookout in 1990 and a full-length in 1994. Solid band.

Out of all the bands at the Lookouting, Surrogate Brains was the one band who I really loved the most after rediscovering them. I filmed them at a show in 1988 and have had their 7″s for a while, but their songs have really held up. LOVE America the Machine. I am bummed that I can’t go to the show at Casa (if it is happening). Part 1 of this is filmed with the monopod in my pocket, so it is not as good as most of the others. I then find the perch that I used for the rest of the fest, and part 2 and 3 are MUCH better. So glad I was able to see them twice. I hope they keep it going.

The first few bands from night 2 of The Lookouting were challenging to film. The table I normally use to elevate my monopod was used for merch, so I had to improvise. I popped the monopod in my pocket which means a little more camera movement than usual. I hope you can still enjoy it. Also, the lighting was totally different for the Wynona Riders’ set. Very dark in spots of the stage.

I am trying to do this from my phone so I will keep b it short. They had not played in over 20 years and only had 2 practices to prepare. Not bad considering the circumstances.

It was nice to see such a long set by Dr. Frank. I have never seen a solo set of his last more than 30min. He started kind of unexpectedly and I was talking to friends, so the first song is cut. I also did not have time to white balance, so Frank is red. Sorry.

I had not seen Surrogate Brains since 1988 in a tiny rehearsal studio, opening for the Accused. They were one of the most anticipated bands of The Lookouting for me, so when they added a show at Ivy Room, I had to go. The Ivy Room has a very short stage, so I had to boost my camera to about 11 feet high or so. That means no zoom/pans. Hope you still enjoy it!

Here is The Invalids’ set from Ivy room. Great set, but I was so tired by the time they came on. I missed the history event yesterday as well, Being from the Sacramento suburbs is preventing me from going to all of the events. Well, that and life.

This was Surrogate Brains’ first performance in about 30 years. I think it was the best one. Gilman was a shorter set and they were 1 band in a 7 band bill.
I posted video of this show last year, but this is my audio recording done with my Sony M10 and DPA 4061 mics. It sounds a bit better than the video, and the bass is much fuller on this one.
