Alright, I need to hurry up, so here is an early Saturday video post. Build Us Airplanes is a pretty unique sounding indie-punk band with some members of Monster Squad. The recently released a new LP “All Things Expire” after a 10+ year break. They occupied the middle slot in that stacked False Flowers/Generacion Suicida show.
Q: Are all of your videos going to disappear? A: No, they are on Youtube (3 cameras and a microphone channel) with a wordpress internet frontend (sacramentomusicarchive dot com). I use FB to announce videos only.
Q: Since your old account has disappeared from FB, will the Sacramento Music Archive FB group disappear as well? A: No. A couple years back, I made two close friends admins on the Sac Music Archive FB group, in case this ever happened. According to facebook, even if a group creator’s account goes “poof”, the group lives on. I am an admin on the new/temp account.
Q: I sent you a PM and have not heard back. Can you see it? A: No. All of my PMs are gone. Please friend me at the account above and PM me again. Sorry.
Q: Have you given up on getting your old account back? A: No. I have a hard time accepting injustice and I probably will spend way too much time trying to get my account back… and find a way to punish the hacker if at all possible.
Alright, on to the video. This was without a doubt the LOUDEST show I have ever seen/heard at the cafe. As they were playing, I was worried about what the neighbors were thinking lol. (The club has an early curfew due to being in a semi-residential area).
But as you can hear, the band sounded really great. They have a new album out called “All Things Expire”- their first release in 13 years! Nice to have them active again.

Build Us Airplanes played their first show in 6 years last Wednesday, for Sean’s big birthday/hotdog bash. I was setting up my cameras and I caught most of their set with the G30 mounted to the back post. The angle is static, but it sounds good. Good band- I bought their LP because they sounded so good.

PS: Sweet shot of Pat Hills doing sound & drinking beer at the beginning. The man can multitask!
