Direct Hit! – Holy Diver, Sacramento Ca. 2/24/19 Canon HFG40 Rode Videomic Pro Stereo

Direct Hit was the one band on the bill that I had not heard before. They were amazing- catchy songs with killer harmonies. I was not expecting this type of melody and energy- so great. I looked back at one point and saw their merch guy singing along at the top of his lungs. That’s when you know it’s good- the guy who sees the set every day is into it! They have a CD out on Fat Wreck Chords- I grabbed one.

Dog Party- Holy Diver, Sacramento Ca. 2/24/19 Canon HFG40 Rode Videomic Pro Stereo

There was an unbelievably stacked lineup at Holy Diver Sunday before last. Thanks to Sean Hills for promoting such a great show.
Dog Party were second on the bill. They don’t play very often anymore- Lucy lives in So Cal so this was a rare treat!

Smoking Popes- Holy Diver, Sacramento Ca. 2/24/19 Multicam w/ Sbd/Aud Matrix Audio. Canon HFG40

Now that I know how to make passable matrix recordings, it’s time to clear out some of this multicam backlog.
This was a crazy weekend- I went to City Mouse/Sad Girlz Club at The Colony on Friday night, A fest at Gilman on Saturday with a ton of bands including Dog Party & City Mouse, then back over to Holy Diver for this show. I think I filmed just about every band on every bill, all 3 nights… so I was pretty much exhausted going into this show.
Towards the end of the set, I got SUPER hot and saw stars and felt like I was going to pass out. I sat on the floor and attempted to keep filming, so if the camera work gets crappy toward the end that is the reason. Big thanks to Sean for bringing me a bottle of water. Saved me from totally going under.

City Mouse- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca. 2/23/19 Multicam with Matrix Audio

City Mouse came through in February and played Femfest at Gilman. They had some new band members since the last time I saw them in 2018… including Jen Louie from Hammerbombs!

Huge thanks to Charlie Passarell & Liam Dennis(and maybe others) for the help with editing. They reached out to me to help get these videos done. More to come.

Also thanks to Anonymous for doing the soundboard/audience matrix. Soundboard via USB drive & Audience with the Rode on the balcony cam.

Pity Party- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca. 2/23/19 Multicam with enhanced Soundboard Audio East Bay Punk

We are STILL working through the backlog of multicam footage that I shot over the years. I realized that we had never posted a multicam of Pity Party, and a quick check of youtube has NO Pity Party live multicams.
Here they are as part of Femfest 2019. I think this was the last show before their US tour? I lost one angle in the middle of the set unfortunately. I rebalanced the audio to sound good for MOST of the show. The mix fluctuated a bit, so the guitar will be low for the first part, then in comes in nicely about halfway through. Oh well, best I could do.

Dog Party- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca. 2/23/19 Multicam with soundboard audio

I’ve seen Dog Party a bunch, but this was the first multicamera I did of them. I had 5 cameras set up (kind of overkill for 2 people in the band), but 1 of the gopros did not work out well. So this turned out to be a 4 camera shoot and I think it turned out nice.
We also had to do a couple of things with the audio- first, the soundboard cuts in at about 3:20 of the show, so you get audio from one of the Rode mics until then. I also enhanced/rebalanced the mix on the board tape. Hope you find it enjoyable- the audio took forever to fix.
