Xclaim- Charles Albright Birthday Party at Craig & Lory’s house Sacramento 3/11/23 SSD Covers Set 4K

I had planned to post something else today but this was so much fun I decided to call an audible. Sorry Neil- yours are going up this week!
I went to Charles’ birthday and it was a blast. I am not a social guy, but it felt like I walked in and then 3 hours had gone by in an instant. So much great conversation with cool folks. Charles should have birthday parties more often.
This was a one-time only show (I think) for the party- a band that played all SSD covers. The band is Charles Albright on Guitar, Craig Hancock on drums, Brian Hanover on bass, Tommy Faucett on vocals, and Steve Borek from B’LAST on Guitar.

Four Eyes- Charles Albright Birthday Party at Craig & Lory’s house Sacramento 3/11/23 4K

2 weeks ago, Charles Albright held a super fun party for his birthday- glad I was able to make it. The Four Eyes was the second and final band to play. I think at least one of these songs is unreleased- I could not find the rock and roll pizza song in their discography. What is up with Sacramento bands and pizza anyway? We have this pizza song, Pizza night by the O’Mulligans, and even a band called the pizzas.. with Charles Albright and his wife Christine. Almost too much pizza for one post. Favorite track: Rock and Roll Martian about halfway through their set. Features the back of Charles Albright’s head for the 2nd half of the show.

Quasi- Ivy Room, Albany Ca. 2/25/23 4K UHD video with Rode Videomic pro stereo Sleater Kinney

For all of you who are on the fence about going to the Quasi show at Starlet room tonight, you need to go. They have an excellent new album out, and they are weeks into a national tour. They are firing on all cylinders at this point. If you are unaware of them, I am posting the video from last night. It was sold out and packed and I could not find Sam before the show, so this one is 1 camera only.
The set consists of all Organ/Drums songs, which are my favorite. Quasi has not been to Sac since 2004, so you need to come see this!
This one is still uploading at the time that I wrote this, so it may not be rendered to 4k when I post. It will, takes YT some time with a file of this size.

Lemonheads- Harlows, Sacramento Ca 11/29/22 4K UHD Multicam w/ DPA 4061 Audio It’s a Shame About Ray

I’ll take a little risk today and post this one. When I filmed this, the tour manager asked to see the video before posting. Well, we can’t find his contact info so I sent an email to Evan’s manager, John Kastner. No reply. Joe Burns- maybe you can tag Evan to see if he is cool with it.
Anyway, this was such a great show. I sang along a couple of times, forgetting that I had mics right next to my face. I hope you can’t hear it. Everything went ok with the shoot, except for the off-center anchor cam and the soundboard did not work for some reason.

Lewd Jaw- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca 10/21/22 Multitrack Soundboard RIP Charlie Stratford

OK, Back once again to audio and the Charlie Stratford benefit show.
Not a lot of info about this band- it looks like they formed in 2020 and they are from the Sacramento area. I don’t know who is in the band.
Charlie’s gofundme will be in facebook comments, in case you want to contribute.

Warning Shot- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca 10/21/22 Multitrack Soundboard RIP Charlie Stratford

Oh wow, I almost forgot to post today. Here is the last set from the Charlie Stratford benefit show.
This band appears to have no online presence. Brian Hanover mentioned that Dave Chavez (Verbal Abuse, Code of Honor) plays in the band. There is a Warning Shot based out of Yuba City, but they do not mention Dave and they do not mention playing this show… so I assume the Yuba City Warning Shot is the wrong one, and this one is from the bay area and are new.

The Vacant- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Charlie Stratford Benefit Memorial 10/21/22 Multitrack sbd

I want to thank Jakobe Ares Moreno for sending across these multitrack stubs- we were expecting The Deathryders’ set to synch with video, but the file had the entire show! Thank to Matt from the Cafe for getting this all recorded for us.
Here is The Vacant’s set- Charlie was the drummer for the band until he passed away, so Roger and band performed with no drummer. Short set, but the best quality Vacant recording I have heard.

If you would like to contribute to Charlie’s gofundme for final expenses, I will add the link in facebook commments.

Deathryders- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca. 10/21/22 4k UHD Tales of Terror set Multitrack Sbd audio

Once again, I need to thank Jakobe Ares Moreno for sending the multitrack audio files over so we could synch them up with this video. My audio came out distorted- I think the Rode failed.. so huge thanks!
The synch is all whacked out while they prepare to play for the first 1:50. I should have trimmed that out, sorry. Just forward it to 1:50 and they will start rocking.
Man, they sounded great.

So much to say about this one. I hung out with so many old friends at the show that I only ended up video’ing the Deathryders set. There were a ton (6 or 7) of bands there and the cafe was packed. It was really nice to see everyone show up for the memorial. Pat Stratford was even there, glad to see him out for this.
Deathryders are Dustin Stratford (Charlie’s son), Jakobe Ares (playing Lyon Wong’s guitar), Brian Hanover, Charles Albright playing a set of mostly Tales of Terror songs. I did not catch the bass player’s name.

Hellbound Pound- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca 10/21/22 Multitrack Soundboard RIP Charlie Stratford

OK, Back to the Charlie Stratford benefit show. Hellbound Pound started playing shows this year from what I can tell, and is either from Richmond Ca (as one flyer states) or Stockton (as the Stratford Benefit flyer says). Dunno which one is right.
