In the before times, Sean Hills would hold a Halloween covers show at the Press Club and Vinnie Guidera (and the Dead Birds) would play a set of Misfits songs. It was always a good time with a lot of singing along. Since that’s not happening this year (Press Club is gone from that location now, too), the band was kind enough to post this online for you all. Multicamera edited and all!

Here’s a cool bonus post for the day, and the first post that takes place in 2021!
Vinnie Guidera has a solo project called Waxen Hand that RIPS. It is his instrumental side project- his main gig with with Vinnie Guidera & the Dead Birds, plus he is an artist. Check this out, it grabbed me way more than expected. I bought the tape.
Here is what Vinnie has to say about it: “I wrote and recorded all the parts myself this summer, so the live sets are basically me muting an instrument and performing that part live. I know it’s not very live, but it’s the closest a one man band can get.”
Ugh, I have been lagging on posting these. Here is a GREAT episode of Danny annual benefit show, with a stellar list of guests.
As a reminder TODAY is the LAST DAY to order a cool motorhead inspired F*ck Cancer shirt- check the episode for more details!
PS: This one is age restricted, so be sure you are an adult, or at least adult age, or have an adult’s login to youtube. Enjoy!
Here’s night 3 of the virtual F*ck Cancer benefit, which was premiered last Friday. Don’t forget to order up one of those cool Motorhead looking shirts to benefit American Cancer Society.
I have been slacking off on getting these posted. This series is STILL GOING with the last episode happening tonight(Sunday) at 6:45pm. This is the one from Thursday night, with promoter/bass player/graphic artist/Renaissance man Sean Hills, solo acoustic with Tim Williamson, and Ricky Schmidt. Hosted by Danny Reynoso. Check it out, buy the shirt!
Danny Reynoso/Secretion has really outdone himself this time. In pre-Covid times, he would produce a week of shows- usually 4 or 5 nights of great local bands to in honor of his father, to benefit American Cancer Society. He is doing these online this year- the first happened on Wednesday night, so you will see them posted/archived here a couple of days after they are posted.
Includes a cool interview with local DJ/promoter Andy Hawk
You can order the benefit shirt online from Nov 11-30, check it out!
There are a few “can’t miss” music events in Sacramento each year–
The Punch and Pie fest which used to happen in August, Danny Reynoso’s “Fuck Cancer” event in November, and this one. The Bat Guano fest has been curated by Ken Doose for the past 10 years, and it looked like this year would be cancelled due to Covid. Thanks to some friendly goading from friends, it was changed to an online event and it worked out really well. It also allowed past Bat Guano bands such as The Yoohoos to perform from Germany. The only thing that could have made it better would have been a virtual post-show hangout via zoom! Miss these guys (and gals).

Travis is an old family friend (he was friends with my stepson Jeremy)- I’ve known him since the mid-90s! He was in Drowning Adam and this was his first appearance with NEW songs! They sound great.
From one of the last metal shows at The Bottom Of The Hill in San Francisco before the shutdown, I scored a pair of tickets to this from a cool outlet by the name of SF Funcheap. Also on the bill were BLACK WIZARD & WIZARD RIFLE. Video credit to Zoran Theodorovic @ Capital Chaos TV
