The Trouble Makers- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca. 6/24/23 4K UHD Multicam w/ Schoeps Audio Garage Rock

The Trouble Makers opened up for The Kids at last month’s Harlow’s show to celebrate their 30th(!) anniversary of being a band. They formed while I was living in L.A. so I missed out on them until I discovered their music through the Knockoffs- the Knockoffs did a great cover of “Cursed Again” on their first album.
Unfortunately, this one doesn’t sound great even with the schoeps mics. I need to figure out how to position these mics better while I film. I didn’t help the situation by getting to the venue too late for a board patch. It’s not bad, and garage rock should sound this way anyway I guess.
Tim (vocals) was very nice- before their set, he was worried about my gopros on stage- I tried to tell them that they were meant to be abused. In fact, that Gel show resulted in one getting knocked over the drums (!!?) and one getting kicked around the floor of the venue. Still fine.

The Kids- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 6/24/23 4K UHD Multicam with Schoeps audio 1970s Punk Band Belgium

The Kids started in Belgium in 1976, releasing 6 albums and 12 singles over the next 10 years. When I saw that Brian McKenna was bringing them to Harlow’s, I could not believe it. I think this was the first time they ever played in Sacramento- I can’t recall them playing and I am old.
Anyway, I talked to the band and they were totally cool with me doing my video thing- how nice is that? Thanks to Luc and the guys for a killer show. So much energy for guys older than me, playing songs that are 40+ years old.

The Snares- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 6/24/23 Schoeps Audio Master Incomplete

I had a busy day on Saturday and got to this show late. What happened to shows that started at 9pm and went until 2am? These early starts are killing me. OK, enough complaining.
I walk into Harlows and the 2nd band is already playing. They are kicking ass. I then see Matt K. Shrugg on drums and realized I have totally f*cked up by missing part of this set. D’oh. It sounded like they were close to finishing (and I didn’t have permission to film), so I didn’t pull out the camera.. but I did start up the schoeps mics and I got about 20 min of the set. You will hear some nuances in quality as I move around the club.
So bummed I missed filming them.
