Here’s a noisy one from Mark Murray’s collection- it is his band Ear Infection from 1989. I don’t have info on band members/song titles/etc, so if Mark wants to fill in the gaps, I will update the post.

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.

Being from Roseville, we were friends with some of the guys in Vile. We never took much seriously back then, especially our peers in local punk and hardcore bands… but looking back, they were pretty good. No wonder they were discussing a record deal at one point.
This one is for Family AND the music community. This is another clip we made a “tour of sacramento” movie for my friend Jim Utz. This one has my mom at the beginning, and me being a total shithead for calling her old. I am now 14 years older than she was here.
Another highlight is seeing the tiny amount of tapes I had back then, and me complaining about the empty tape cases, waiting for BAD traders to get back to me. The green TV makes an appearance, as do a lot of really cool old posters that I no longer have.
I also get way too excited about getting a phone call. This was pre-cellphone, so if you missed the call, you were screwed.
This is embarrassing but it must be posted.

Dimple was my first record store. I went to the Roseville store back when it was next to almond tree on harding. I think that’s where they really started to grow- the record store + the arcade next door(Starcade) was the place to be in the burbs in the early 80s.
I rented records and bought a Judas priest poster as some of my first purchases there. I found Riot’s Fire Down Under there and I think it was my first LP purchase from there.
This is a massive loss to the Sacramento area.
This video exists thanks to my good friend (for over 30 years) Jim Utz. We were video tape traders in the 80s and we each decided to do a video tour of our hometowns. He did St. Louis, and I did Roseville/Sacramento. Man, it is great to see some of this. More to come.

OK, everyone is asking for old local stuff. I bought my first video camera on 5/6/88. I went straight to Gilman to film Operation Ivy and my battery died. The next day, the guys in Identity Crysis invited me over to their rehearsal space to video. They were based in roseville, and had a 7″ single on Mystic Records back around this time frame. Oh, also, since I had a new camera, I was video taping everything in sight.. so at the beginning you will get to see my mom’s old cat Molly (she was a jerk) and my mom briefly with her fabulous 80s hair. Enjoy.

Next one is from the classic Roseville Cable show “Local Trash”. I only have 1 episode of this cable series (IGD) and I have no idea how many were produced. Comic Keith Lowell Jensen hosts the show.
This one is apparently from the show’s archive
Here’s another one from Mark Murray’s collection. Roseville used to get away with so much stuff. Check out this episode- it has it all. Drunkeness, profanity and more. I love how Matt from IGD comes out strong- jumping up and down like crazy. Then, about 3 minutes in, he is so winded that he can’t sing. HA HA!

First of all, please don’t expect much with the quality of this recording. This was before we bought the pro walkmen and DAT recorders… but it is one of the only Gravelgut recordings I am aware of. This show is so awesome. 13 minute set! The band that went on right before (or after, can’t remember) taunted the crowd, and you can hear Chris politely thanking Stew Katz for allowing local bands on shows like this. Troy Tausch’s drum sound is huge on this show. I hope you enjoy despite the quality. For Troy, Ken Legee, and all of the rest of the rocklin/roseville gang. Recorded by Mark Martin with a panasonic cassette recorder.
