Jonah Matranga, Allyson Seconds, David Houston, Kepi Ghoulie- Kevin Seconds- Side Door, Sac 12/23/22

There has been a wonderful annual tradition happening in Sacramento over the years- around Christmas, these fine musicians would gather on the same stage- and all play together. This used to happen on Christmas Eve and I was never able to make it due to other obligations. Last year, they moved it to the 23rd and I was finally able to go for the first time! It was so great- 2 hours and 40min of them having SO MUCH FUN. Each musician would start a song, and others sometimes join in if they know it.
It’s your lucky day- this show is happening again this year- on the 23rd (this coming Saturday) at the Side Door. Tickets are still available! Only $20!! I will post a link to buy ticket in my facebook post comments.
For now, here is an example of what you can expect- here is last year’s show. New surprises (and jokes!) every year.

Equipment used: DPA4061 mics, Church audio preamp, Sony A10 digital recorder.

Kepi Ghoulie- The Side Door, Sacramento Ca. 6/12/21 Early Set Groovie Ghoulies 4K UHD Lumix GH5S

It’s the triumphant return of Kepi to a live concert setting! After a year plus of playing to an iphone (and a few backyard shows), this is the first concert Kepi played in a year-plus. It was a lot of fun! Kepi also played set, but I had to head home. I’ll do the multi-set thing next time.

Kepi Ghoulie Electric- Blue Lamp, Sacramento 9/20/19 Multicam w/ Soundboard Audio B-Face Roy Muffs!

I am cleaning and archiving hundreds of multicam MP4’s from my hard drive, and I stumbled across this one. We never posted it at the time, then I forgot about it. This is a special show with Kepi, B-Face AND Roy McDonald from the Muffs doing a full band set! Great set full of Kepi and Ghoulies classics.
On a side note, I was going to ask Roy about The Muffs and when they were going to tour, but I got busy filming MTX… Kim passed away a couple weeks after this show. It was probably for the best that I missed him.

This show was mixed before I had the ability to matrix my own audio, or rebelance it in Izotope… the mix is “OK”, but it could have been better. Oh well.

Recorded by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: Canon HFG40 x2, Gopro Hero4 Silver x3.
Soundboard audio via Sony PCM-M10 through the soundboard.

Kepi Ghoulie- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca. 5/11/19 4K HD Master Sony A7Sii Appetite for Adrenochrome Pt2

Here’s part 2. I need to find an MP4 file joiner so I can upload these in 4k as one file. The Sony is a notorious battery hog and I learned that you only get about 45min on a fully charged battery. Sorry for the gap- battery change.

I wasn’t planning on going to this show(I had family obligations), but Brian asked me to help with video projection, and Kepi announced that he was doing a special show with old songs. I did not know that Kepi was doing the ENTIRE Appetite for Adrenochrome album! Awesome! Not only that, but he had the all-star band of B-Face on bass and Jaz Brown on Drums. What a great show!! Thanks guys for the super unique show.
Since I decided to come last-minute and Jim McLain had the multicamera video duties all covered, I decided to bring my new 4k DSLR camera to test it out. It was so new to me that I pulled the lens out of the shipping box while driving. I had no idea how to hell to use the camera and you can tell during anton barbeau’s set. I finally got it to an acceptable level after fiddling around with the controls while Anton was playing.

Kepi Ghoulie- Dimple Records, Sacramento Ca. 3/16/19 LIVE HD Reanimation Festival FULL Album Set

Man, this was cool. I have seen Kepi & the Ghoulies more than any other band, and I have never heard him do a few of these. He played the entire Reanimation Fest album plus a couple of other hits.
Sorry, this is not by best camerawork. I was putting the camera down in between songs to help my daughter tie balloons and then I was having some fun with balloons during the set. I also forgot my monopod so I had to do the old school handheld thing.
