Planet on a Chain- The Colony, Sacramento Ca 4/28/23 4K UHD Canon HF G50 Rode Videomic Pro Stereo

After a busy day yesterday, I headed over to The Colony to catch the end of the hardcore show. Luckily, I got there right before the last band started. I was able to drive from orangevale, tape the set, and drive back in 90 minutes. That’s an efficient trip.
Planet on a Chain are based in Oakland, but their vocalist now lives in Texas so they don’t play very often. In fact, this is their first show after releasing their album “Boxed In” on Revelation Records earlier this year.
I was in a hurry to get out the door and accidentally grabbed the wrong camera. It still came out fine, but I wish I had the G60.

City Mouse- Old Ironsides, Sacramento Ca. 4/16/23 4K UHD Multicam w/ boosted Rode Audio

Bonus post- I had posted this one a few weeks back and realized that the audio was too low. I normalized the audio so here it is again, all nice and listenable.
Here is my original post about the show:
After way too many hiccups in this multicam project, here is the City Mouse set from April’s show here in Sac. A few things about this: We had a problem with the soundboard recording, so this is Rode mic only. It doesn’t sound bad, but having Miski’s vocals up front is always good. Also, Old I had a dead lighting spot right in the area where Miski stood, so it makes for an odd well-lit video… except for Miski. Oh well, we did our best.
It was really great to see City Mouse play- it had been 5(?) years since they were in California last.

Lightweight- Old Ironsides, Sacramento 4/16/23 4K UHD Master Video w/ Rode Videomic Pro Stereo Audio

Back to that great Old I show w/City Mouse headlining. The multicam of that set is coming soon- I screwed up some gopro settings and I need to figure out how to make them work with the other angles.
Lightweight were great as usual- one of the best punk bands in town. I love their melodic parts, even with the gruff vocals.

Se Vende- Old Ironsides, Sacramento Ca 4/16/23 Punk 4K UHD master video w/ Rode Videomic Pro Audio

Happy Father’s Day to all fathers and father figures out there.
Se Vende was touring with City Mouse and played Old I in April. I started up my camera and was prepared to film the entire set, and they were so unbearably loud that I bailed and went outside. I will never understand why bands who are are likely playing new material to the audience crank the volume up to 11. You can tell that Old I’s small sound system just can’t complete with the stage volume. Bummer.
On the bright side, I got to talk to Miski and Jake from Lightweight outside for a while- it was nice catching up!
Enjoy the 3 and a half minutes I could tolerate.

Freature- Old Ironsides, Sacramento Ca. 4/16/23 4K UHD Master with Rode Videomic Pro Stereo Audio

City Mouse FINALLY came to Sac for the first time in about 5 years last month- multicam of that one coming up. A couple of my favorite Sacramento bands opened- Freature and Lightweight. If Cory could have added Lamonta, it would have been the trifecta!
Freature are recording or have just finished recording their debut LP. Sorry for the shaky camera work at times- I was rockin’. I ran out of battery and the video cuts off on their last song, which is my favorite one (Automatic).
Sorry for the spotty lighting- Old I has changed their lighting and in the process has created a huge dead spot where the vlocaist usually stands. Let’s hope they fix it soon.

Dead Sound- Golden Bull, Oakland Ca 4/8/23 4K UHD Master with DPA4061 mics GH5S cam Monsula Pinhead

Opening for that Samiam show a couple weeks back were Dead Sound. I have been looking forward to seeing them for a while. This is Bill Schneider’s (PHGP, Monsula, etc) new band along with Mark Lynn (Bill’s bandmate in Uranium 9 Volt), Mike Goshert, and Mack Narragon.
The sound was a little muddy and bassy, a situation that the DPA mics don’t deal with too well. I hope you can find it listenable. They have an LP out on 1234 Go!’s in house label.

Samiam- Golden Bull, Oakland Ca 4/8/23 4K UHD Master with DPA4061 mics GH5S camera

Last Saturday, Cory Wiegert and I went to Oakland for the Samiam show. It was a good show, but there were 3 or 4 opening bands! They were all good, but my old ass can’t stay up until 3am anymore… and then go snow skiing with the kids the next day. Ouch.
The audio is a bit muddy- I filmed from a spot that is usually good for the DPA’s but I didn’t get much guitar, and the DPAs naturally pick up a lot of bass… and well, listen for yourself.
Sorry for losing focus at times. The good news is I have now figured out the focus issue with the GH5S. It’s the lens- I think it is defective. I read up on reviews of this particular one and there is no mention of focus issues, and the other 3 lenses I have perform fine. So I guess I need to shop for another 14-140 lens…
