Pure Trash- Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville Ca. 2/16/24 4K UHD w/ Rode Videomic Pro Audio Pop Punk

Locals only video weekend continues. Pure trash is based here in Sac, and with a name like that, I was expecting loud and angry hardcore. They were melodic and pop punky with 1 main lead vocalist and friend Dean Crist playing bass and doing the harmony vocals. Good stuff!
Funny side story- I went up to the band’s merch table and asked one of the guys if he minded if I video’d. He told me “we already have a video guy”. I was like “OK whatever”, then he came back and told me I could video if I wanted… glad I did. They were good. If they are on a local bill with Lamonta, I would totally head out.

SpiritWorld- Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville Ca 10/1/23 Schoeps Audio Master

Another “morning after the show” post. What a crazy night. People were climbing the poles in the club and jumping off into the crowd during Comeback Kid! Completely insane.
This is the opening band, SpiritWorld. I was going to make a comment about a hardcore band wearing nudie suits (google it), but then I started looking deeper into the band and I realized that I BLEW IT by not video’ing them. The band’s vocalist is Stu Folsom, who was in a great LVHC band called… Folsom! They put a CD out a long time ago on Mikey Hood’s West Coast Worldwide label. So THAT’s why Mikey was hanging out with him after the set. Derp.
Then I read an interview with him, and he has roots in hardcore but he is a big alt.country fan, and one of his favorite bands is The Old 97’s. A man with good taste- if he finds this website/channel, he can be endlessly entertained with all of the Old 97s/Uncle Tupelo/Slobberbone on here. Double Derp.
Then he asked me if I video’d after the set. Nope. Triple Derp.
But, hardcore played by guys in nudie suits. I have now seen it all.

Kelly Slusher- Fig Tree, Roseville Ca 9/1/23 Digital audio master w/ Schoeps Mics Crash and Britany

Well the theme so far this week is “women who used to be in well-known bands playing a rare solo set” apparently. That will change tomorrow, but let’s roll with it for now.
I rarely take my kids to a live performance because they are not interested and it becomes a distraction, but it was my birthday the day before and we were going to my birthday dinner in Roseville. It’s the one time per year where I actually get my way, so off we went. Of course, we got there late because the 8 year old was slow getting out the door, but we made it. If you want to hear (and see) the entire set, it is on fig tree’s facebook. This one sounds better.
Kelly worked for 3 years on animation that accompanied the songs, and it was really entertaining. The Fig Tree is a comfortable hangout- I don’t think I have ever taped while lounging on a couch. Highly recommended.
Kids were entertained too- they had board games there. So 2 thumbs up for Fig Tree.

Old 97s- Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville Ca. 3/29/23 4K UHD Multicam with Schoeps Audio 97’s Rhett

Alright, here’s a really cool one that has been a few months in the making. My old friends Old 97s came to Roseville in March. I arrived early and the club was totally cool with me setting up SIX cameras, as long as I had permission from the band. Since I have known the band since.. well.. 97 (1997), Murry and Co gave me the all clear. Thanks to the band for always being cool about the hobby. I want to also thank a lady named Barbara, who was kind enough to watch my balcony camera when I was on the floor (“you can trust me, I was a girl scout”). Lol, thanks. Thanks to Anonymous as well for the schoeps audio. There is also a soundboard source for this show- once that one is finished it may warrant an audio re-synch and post.

This was part of their 30th anniversary tour, which is still in progress almost 6 months later! So lots of songs from the early days, along with the best of the newer ones. Great set.

My only complaint was with the camera in front of Ken- I had it all set up perfectly, and someone took it off stage and put it on the floor. D’oh! I debated using the angle at all, but it still has some cool shots of Ken and his pedalboard so in it goes.

The Chats- Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville Ca 4/17/22 4K UHD Lumix GH5S and DPA 4061 Mics Punk

This was my first time at Goldfield Roseville. I figured that it was not going to sound very good with the layout being “wide and narrow” along with the brick walls, but it sounded amazingly good in there.
I have been in my “old man punk” bubble for too long. I forgot how a good young punk band can make kids go apesh*t. What a show! I was blown away at the band’s, and the crowd’s energy. I tried to start filming the show from the same spot as I did for the Mean Jeans, but the crowd was just too crazy, even with my using a big support pole as a shield. I had to move back. You can tell how big of a difference it makes to those 4061 mics when you move away from the PA. Still good, but not as powerful.

Mean Jeans- Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville Ca 4/17/22 4K UHD Lumix GH5S and DPA 4061 Mics Punk

This is the reason why I headed to Goldfield on Easter- to see one of my favorite bands. It was so nice to see them play for a (relatively) big audience who appreciated their music. This is the best reaction I have seen to an opening band in years. Hard to tell if most of the crowd knew the band, or were just reacting to the greatness as they heard it for the first time.
This is just one angle of 4- we still need to get this one enhanced and edited together- consider this raw footage. As usual, a couple of things went wrong. First of all, I forgot 1 tiny adapter that would allow me to plug into the mixing board. I brought 50 other tiny things to make everything work, but that one thing… nope. Also, the rowdy crowd grabbed my gopro that I had focused on Jeans Wilder(drummer) and ended up setting it on stage, turned the wrong way. So much for the drum cam.
Still a great show. Best I have ever seen them. Glad they are finally getting the props they deserve here in sac.

Mean Jeans- Goldfield Trading Post, Roseville Ca. 4/17/22 4K UHD Multicam

I posted the main angle of this one right after the show, but here is the full 4 camera edit. The funny thing was that I thought that the drum camera angle would be ruined after some over enthusiastic fans picked it up and placed it on stage, but it still worked pretty well! But seriously, please don’t touch the cameras. Thanks to the security guy for putting it back even better than before.

Metalachi- Denio’s Farmers Market & Auction, Roseville Ca 9/1/19 4K UHD LIVE

For my birthday, I asked my family to come with me to a series of shows/festivals on Sunday. This was the first one- Metalachi at Denio’s. This is the PERFECT venue to see this band. It was amazingly cheesily awesome. If you are unaware of Metalachi’s greatness, they do mariachi versions of all your favorite metal classics.

I was too far away to use my standard lens, so I grabbed the 100-400 to use for the first time… and it was a bit too close to the action. I could not pan back and get the entire band and a lens change was out of the question. It is still pretty cool, and you get to watch me fumble around in search of where that guitar lead was coming from. I would have never guess that it was the violinist- she kicked ass.

First set only.
