XMPT- Roseville Community Cable 8, August 2000 xfer f/Master or low gen VHS tape
Another late collections post- sorry about that. I am stretched pretty thin over the holidays, and especially when kids are out of school.
I found this one while I was looking through Dennis Newhall’s audio CD’s. There was a DVD in there of a local band on Roseville community cable. This is almost a full hour performance, which was rare at the time.
There was no info at all about this band online. Thanks to the internet archive’s wayback machine, I was able to find an awesome early 2000’s webpage that looks the part. Not only that, I was able to access the band member names. Awesome!
Margie Ramirez Walker – Vocals & Percussion
Greg O’Campo – Bass & Vocals
John F. King II – Drums, Percussion, & Vocals
Bucky Gunther – Saxophone & Vocals
Ben Lev – Guitar, Vocals & Audio Engineering

Go National- Royer Park, Roseville Ca 4/24/99 xfer from VHS-C Master Tape Kevin 7 Seconds
First things first- if you want to see Kevin and Allyson perform along with Kepi Ghoulie, Jonah Matranga and David Houston, head on out to the Side Door tonight. These Christmas shows are always a spontaneous blast! I hope they will continue, even with Kepi moving to Portland. He will be there tonight.
Go National were a band (not calling it a side project because they are too good to be looked at that way) that featured Kevin Seconds, Allyson Seconds, Bobby Jordan, and Mark Harrod. Sure, they all had other projects going (7 Seconds, the Knockoffs, Forever Goldrush, etc), but this band stood on its own as one of Sacramento’s best rock bands.
When I picked up this tape from Kevin, we were chatting about the band and I said that this time frame (1999-2000) was my favorite era of the band. The band was firing on all cylinders. The camera woman did a nice job videotaping the show, but since she was in the front row/photo pit, you can’t hear vocals. If you want to hear a better audio representation of the band, check out the Miller park audio show on the website/channel.
Anyway, hope I see you at the Side Door tonight

American Flyer- Riolo’s Club, Roseville Ca. 1995/1996 xfer from 8mm master! LIVE
If you did not notice, I am going through my tape lists from A-Z and posting everything that I filmed, or that is from sacramento to prep for the sacramento concert archive website. Still on “A”. Haha. So, I was digging through my tapes a few years ago, transferring show. This one was unmarked on the tape, and I was wondering “what the hell”? Then I remembered- I filmed my cousin’s band at the (in)famous Riolo’s in Roseville! Hot damn! Many covers here, I hope the youtube copyright-bot doesn’t plonk me.

Sea Pigs, Misery’s Echo- The Cosmos, Roseville Ca. 7/30/94
(from Mark Murray): Summer 1994. The City of Roseville used to let us do shows at the Cosmos (the big, red sculpture thing off I-80, near the N. Sunrise Home Depot). They were always jam-packed with a lot of great bands. This video captures the tail end of the Sea Pigs’ set and all of Misery’s Echo. Misery’s Echo consisted of Twig (Kill the Precedent, Diseptikons, Fatso, Spinach), Tim (Second Coming, Fatso, Spinach), and Dave (Koi).

Groovie Ghoulies- 315 Vallejo, Roseville Ca. 8/29/92 Xfer from DAT Master Tape
After they ended the Tombstone Blues set, the band took about a 1 minute break and played a 45 minute ghoulies set. It was so much fun- you will hear a “clink” and a dropout at about 11:30 into the recording. The deck & mic fell off of the heater and hit Kevin Scott in the head. Sorry!
This whole night was fuzzy, but I remember the tiny house (700 sq ft) being WAY too packed with 100+ people, I remember getting way too drunk and being hung over for 2 days after for the first (and only) time ever, and I remember my band playing a song without rehearsal for the first time in 5 years(that was not recorded). I also remember the cops coming, and kicking people out so I could sleep.

Tombstone Blues- 315 Vallejo, Roseville Ca. 8/29/92 xfer from DAT master tape Groovie Ghoulies Side Project
Back in 1992, I moved to Los Angeles for a couple of different reasons- my job moved down there. The weekend before I left, my old rental house was empty, so we bought a keg from Sudwerk and had The Groovie Ghoulies & Tombstone Blues play.
Tombstone Blues was a very short lived side project of the Groovie Ghoulies. Kepi, Roach & Brian Scott played a set of old Rock and Blues covers. This might be the only recorded document of the band, Kepi would know for sure.

MASSIVE thanks to Mark Murray for digging this one up. A CLASSIC episode from Roseville cable with so much good stuff. First, we have an unknown band playing a garage. Then we have Identity Crysis live in studio. Up nest is an interview/profile of Last Warning (formerly Malfator) and show concludes with Outrage.
Check Mark Murray’s amazing commercial at the 10:00 mark. So awesome.
You gotta hand it to Roseville Cable- it seems like you could air anything you wanted back then.
