Strange Party- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca. 9/22/18 Multicam w/Rode Audio Live Bat Guano Punk Fest
Here is the last unposted video of The Strange Party that I have. Man, I sure hope they play again someday. They had not played for over a year, and then the pandemic hit. I miss the songs and the people. I also miss the old PA at the Cafe- it sounds decent when you are right up on that PA main.

Yankee Brutal- Press Club, Sacramento Ca. 9/20/18 Canon HFG40 Rode Video Pro Stereo Mic
Here is my single camera version of Yankee Brutal at Press Club. This is mostly focused on Wesley because this is supposed to be a 4 camera multicam, but 2 of the angles did not turn out so well.
Regardless, Yankee Brutal is probably the best fast pop-punk band in town (think pennywise/bad religion fast melodic punk). They don’t play every week, so if you see them on a bill, go see them. They are damned good and the new songs are next level.

No Fun at All- Press Club, Sacramento Ca. 9/20/18 Multicam Live
Funny story- my friend Agelos asks me to film shows for him, and most of them are those extreme down-tuned screaming hardcore bands. So I was pleasantly surprised to hear these guys- much more up my alley.
It takes about 8 minutes to get the sound dialed, but they sounded amazing. No Fun at All are from Sweden and have not toured in the US for about 20 years. I don’t recall them ever playing sac. It was a rare treat to have them at the tiny Press Club.
I managed to cram 5 cameras into that place!

Sederra- Press Club, Sacramento Ca. 9/20/18 Canon HFG40 Rode Video Pro Stereo mic
Man, what a week (and not just because of the political madness). Sorry for the delay in posting. So I have the kids this week which means that I am busting my ass day and night.. but on top of that, my computer decides to have issues. It’s either faulty memory or a hard drive issue. It appears to be a memory issue, since I can get it to come back after it acts like it can’t find the hard drive.
Anyway, I can’t upload anything or I blue screen. Here are 2 videos already uploaded. More will come next week after I get the supercomputer built… and I finish my frantic backups to blu ray.
Here is one where I left my camera running in between Yankee Brutal and No Fun at All. This is a stationary camera recording Sederra’s set last week. Enjoy!

Yankee Brutal- Press Club, Sacramento 9/20/18 Multicam with rode audio Sacramento Punk
Here’s one of our local bands who I think is really good, but never seems to get much recognition here. They rarely played shows, back when we actually had them.
This was supposed to be a 4 camera, with a gopro on AJ… but there was a huge purple light shining right in the camera that I could not fix. The drum gopro is pretty funny, too. Their drummer plays so hard, that the gopro moved about 90 degrees as he played through the set due to the vibration. It’s funny to watch him gradually disappear from the frame. Mental note- when the drummer comes with industrial ear muffs on his head, you know it’s gonna be LOUD. haha.

Pisscat- Blue Lamp, Sacramento 9/19/18 Canon HFG40 Rode Video Pro Stereo Mic
Here’s the pisscat set from last Wednesday, opening for their pals The Polyorchids. I missed the first little bit of the set, I was busy screwing around or something.

The Polyorchids- Blue Lamp, Sacramento 9/19/18 Canon HFG40 Rode Video Pro Stereo Mic
I was pumped to see The Polyorchids after such a long time- I think the last time was at their album release show in April. Justin lives in Washington, so they only play a couple times a year now.
this show was special because they did not get to practice after a 5 month layoff. They just hopped on stage and went for it! Here is the performance, warts and all. It’s a bit sloppy, but they were still great.

Freature- Blue Lamp, Sacramento 9/19/18 Canon HFG40 Rode Video Pro Stereo Mic
I usually check bands out before I see them, but this was the first time that I heard Freature. Since 2 members of the O’Mulligans were in the band, I was expecting something a lot different. This is not pop punk- it’s rock but it is really good! I can’t compare them to anyone- very unique.

Captain Cutiepie- Blue Lamp, Sacramento 9/19/18 Canon HFG40 Rode Video Pro Stereo Mic
Here is Captain Cutiepie’s opening set from the Polyorchids show. I missed the first 5min of the show, then totally overexposed Erik for the next 8min. I finally get it right and it looks pretty good.
