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).
Here are all of the performances from Cafe Colonial’s live stream last month. Please help donate to the BEST all ages venue in Sac!

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.
Man, I had to jump a number of hurdles to make it to this show, including taking a night conference call from my car while driving there… but it was totally worth it. You could feel how much the band missed playing together, and how much they enjoy it. They packed the patio at Sophia’s and everyone was loving it. This is probably their only show this year, so it was a can’t-miss for me.
2 NEW SONGS.
And I screwed up a bit at the beginning of the show, forgetting to hit record… then I had to stop and adjust audio levels. Camera gets a little shaky at times, as I was having a little too much fun. I need to remember that this new camera’s stabilization is not as strong as the 1080p canon cameras I have.

So I was stuck in horrendous traffic from Sacramento to Oakland when I was trying to get to the block party. I thought I left in PLENTY of time to see Sarchasm play at noon, but I sat in traffic for over an hour by vacaville. I get to the front of the slowdown and discover that they closed a lane to trim bushes. On a goddamn saturday morning. WHAT THE HELL CALTRANS?
Anyway, I missed Sarchasm. I also missed Destroy Boys as they played at the same time as our 924 Gilman board meeting. So, only this and Coverups. These guys were pretty good- east bay pop punk.

Suicidal always brings a surprising amount of energy to the show. They shocked me and pretty much stole the show back at Orion Fest in 2012. These festival sets are a greatest hit parade and the crowd loved it.
