Divided Youth- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento 3/17/25 4K UHD Multicam with Matrix Audio Hardcore

Before Tommy Faucett left Sacramento for New York City to start college, his band Divided Youth played one final show at the cafe. It was PACKED and the crowd was pretty active. That might have been the biggest pit I have ever seen there. Punk Dad Brian Hanover comes up to play on a song as well.

The audio on this one was a real challenge. The sound in the venue was good, but very heavy on bass guitar and bass drum. Schoeps mics are naturally bass heavy, so there is just a ton of bass in the audience recording. The board mix had guitar and snare, but the bass in the mix sounded odd and shallow. So I had a rebalance the board, then matrix it with the audience. the rebalance settings on this one are going to look crazy, but it worked!

Divided Youth- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca 12/5/24 4K UHD Multicam w/Schoeps Audio Hardcore Punk

We continue with the run of shows I filmed. Regular programming will probably resume mid next week.
If you enjoy early hardcore like D.R.I.’s first album, you should not miss this band. Absolutely ripping tight hardcore from these youngsters. They have Sacramento punk roots- Tommy(Vocals) is the son of Brian Hanover (Whiskey Rebels, Hanover Saints, Union Hearts) and I think that one of the other member’s dad/relative is Jesse Mitchell from Kill the Precedent.
Right when they started, one of the drummer’s cymbals falls over. I hope my gopro stand didn’t contribute to that mishap- yikes.

Divided Youth- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca 6/29/24 Master Schoeps Audio Recording

It looks like we will be taking a different approach this week. It has been KALX/Doug/Eggplant/other for the weekday audio posts, but we have some special stuff planned for this week.
First off, here is one that I recorded with the Schoeps last month. I planned to do a 4 camera multicam of the band, but one gopro did not work out and the G9ii overheated and froze up. It looks like I lost the main angle footage. So, unless I can save that file, this is all the Divided Youth you’re gonna get from the show.
Btw, the band absolutely rips- they had the biggest pit I saw that night. I got hammered by the pit at about the 13:30 mark- you can hear the mics get hit and me go “bleah!” from the gut punch. I listened to it a few times and laughed.
