Freature- Old Ironsides, Sacramento Ca. 4/16/23 4K UHD Master with Rode Videomic Pro Stereo Audio

City Mouse FINALLY came to Sac for the first time in about 5 years last month- multicam of that one coming up. A couple of my favorite Sacramento bands opened- Freature and Lightweight. If Cory could have added Lamonta, it would have been the trifecta!
Freature are recording or have just finished recording their debut LP. Sorry for the shaky camera work at times- I was rockin’. I ran out of battery and the video cuts off on their last song, which is my favorite one (Automatic).
Sorry for the spotty lighting- Old I has changed their lighting and in the process has created a huge dead spot where the vlocaist usually stands. Let’s hope they fix it soon.

Third Eye Blind performed by Freature and The O’Mulligans- Cafe Colonial, Sac 10/26/19 4K UHD

This was probably the most energetic set of the night. The 4 members of Freature and the O’Mulligans on stage for the first time ever! Kyle nails the phrasing of the songs, and they are not easy. I screwed up and let my battery die during one of the hit songs at the end. You know which one I am talking about.

Freature- Bat Guano Fest, The Colony, Sacramento Ca. 9/21/19 4K UHD Live

Man, I love these guys. Pretty unique mix of punk and power pop. So I forgot to plug my camera mic in for the first 2min of the show. I was going to include the video here, but I watched it and the audio is total distortion. Good to know that the camera can’t handle a mic plug in without requiring a stop/start, and that the internal mic can’t handle volume. It was super loud. When David would hit the bass drum, a big puff of air would hit me in the face occasionally. I can’t say that has ever happened. Sounds pretty damned good despite the volume Well done, Sean!

Freature- Concerts in the Park, Cesar Chavez Plaza, Sacramento 6/28/19 HD Live Video Master

The guys in Freature invited me out to CIP to film the show, so I went for the first time in a couple years. Man, is it different now- very catered to the young party set. The band gave me a backstage pass, so I was able to get by the guard whose 1 job was to keep people from getting back there. He even moved like a gate!
Freature are awesome and they seem to be getting better over time. The sound was absolutely killer- nice job Ira.
The smoke made it look like someone was having a cookout behind the band. 😀

Freature- Blue Lamp, Sacramento 9/19/18 Canon HFG40 Rode Video Pro Stereo Mic

I usually check bands out before I see them, but this was the first time that I heard Freature. Since 2 members of the O’Mulligans were in the band, I was expecting something a lot different. This is not pop punk- it’s rock but it is really good! I can’t compare them to anyone- very unique.
