Whoreified- Phono Select, Sacramento Ca. 3/24/24 4K UHD w/Rode Videomic Pro Audio

Getting this one out early today to give you time to check them out… and to make plans to see Whoreified (great name btw), along with The Pist, DOVE, Holehog, and Aruspex at tge Cafe Colonial tonight. I love it when bills have a mix of younger and older bands- it brings a lot of people together who wouldn’t usually hang out.
The band opened up the Phono Select Deathryders show last month and played a short 15 minute set. Very riot grrl sounding.

The Government- Phono Select, Sacramento Ca. 3/24/24 4K UHD with schoeps audio hardcore punk

Last video post for the weekend and it’s a recent master recording. This was the middle band of that last Phono Select show with Deathryders. I don’t know much about them, except that they are from the bay area and they are not on discogs, from what I can find. This one is a bit darker than the rest since they turned out most of the lights for the set. First time I had seen a pit at Phono- I hope no records were damaged.

Deathryders- Phono Select, Sacramento Ca 3/23/24 4K UHD Multicam with Schoeps Audio Tales of Terror

There was a great show last weekend at Phono Select. It was supposed to be an outdoor thing, but the weather forced it to take place inside. I can’t say I have ever seen a pit in a record store before, that was interesting.
I filmed 3 of the 4 bands, but this is the only multicamera I did. It mostly went right, except for 2 things- the GH5S looks muddy. It might be the cine-d setting- this is the same exact lens and settings that I used for the Boardwalk show the week before. No idea why it looks like that. Also the gopro on the left side was covered by a band member and there was no way to get over there to fix it before they started, so this is a 3 camera job. No stage so I had to get my GH5S WAY up there in order to film this one.

Class of 77- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca 2/8/24 4K UHD w/ Schoeps CCM4 audio

Since I have actually been out video recording some shows recently, I’ll post some of the opening sets from local and regional bands who played over the past couple weeks.
First up is Class of ’77. The band has members of other well-known bands from the 80s and 90s, including Carmela Thompson (Short Dogs Grow and many others), Chelsea Rose (White Trash Debutantes, Bite). The band had a sun/interesting concept- they play old punk covers along with a couple of their original songs.
Unfortunately, I missed about the first 5 minutes of the set. I grabbed a random GH5S and it happened to be one I had not used before and the settings were all jacked up. It does sound nice- the schoeps did a nice job on this set.

M.D.C.- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento 2/8/24 4K UHD Multicam with Rode Video Pro Stereo Millions of Dead

Late post today. Man, am I tired. Very physically demanding day.
MDC came to town a few weeks back on a stacked bill. If you have not seen them lately, they are worth seeing. The new songs are great, Dave sounds much better now that he can hear (in ear monitor) and the band is tight.
The lighting in the cafe gave one of my lenses fits- it kept losing focus due to the lighting, so apologies for that. Just try to imagine that it is a special effect. Related to that, I am looking for a good micro 4/3 f2.8 panasonic lens, if you know of any deals.
I could not get the multitrack set up in time, I could not get there early enough. You get rode audio, as it was better than the Schoeps.

Knockoffs- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 11/30/23 4K UHD Multicam with Matrix Audio

These next 2 video posts will not look like one of the usual 4k multicams that we do. I filmed with 1 camera (G60) and 3 gopro’s on stage, then handed them over to Jim McLain to edit an HD multicam from all of his & my angles. My G60 angle is more of an isolation shot, so I don’t have a 4k angle that shows the entire stage like I typically have… so you will see a lot of closeups and gopro angles in this one. Bobby knocked over the gopro on his side like immediately, so it’s just one gopro on Danny, one on Bear, and my iso shot. Thanks to Tromster for making it work in the edit. If you want the full multicam edit in HD, head over to McLain’s channel. If you want 4K, here it is. 🙂
And a call back to the Go National post earlier this week, The Knockoffs do my favorite Go National song- Aqua Dirty. I had not seen them do this since 2000!

7 Seconds- Harlow’s, Sacramento Ca 11/30/23 4K UHD Multicam with Matrix audio

Here is the other “anchor camera-less” show that we edited together. If you want the full 6 or 7 camera edit in HD, head on over to Jim McLain’s page and check it out. If you want 4K resoultion, here you go.
This was such a great show. I saw 5 7 Seconds shows in Texas in Sep of 2022 since it seemed like they would never play Sac. I was expecting the same setlist and was totally surprised with “Sister”, “Trust” and “Busy Little People”. Trust was the only one that was played, albeit rarely, in 2022. The sold-out crowd was very active- in fact, I had to stand WAY back, next to the soundboard with my monopod on a cocktail table just to get decent elevation. That goodness for my lanc cable to control pan and zoom up there. This was probably my favorite 7 seconds show since they got back together.

The Knockoffs- Old Ironsides, Sacramento Ca. 11/19/23 4K UHD Video w/ Schoeps Audio F*ck Cancer

I am late posting today- my family got me sick. I was the last one to get it and I did everything I could to avoid it… just in time for the long weekend and the holidays. Lovely. I have a ticket to the Kevin Seconds, Kepi Ghoulie (and friends) extravaganza at the Side Door. If you want the ticket, just let me know. FREE. It starts in an hour or so.
I am glad I brought the G60 for this show- it picks up the uneven lighting at Old I a bit better than the DSLR. I’ll trade off the 60fps (this one is only 30) to be able to see Danny. They sounded GREAT- I mean their stage sound was pristine… then I found out that they were playing on the Ghost Town Rebellion’s gear. haha, that’s why they sounded so different.
Oh, and another thing- The Knockoffs do not play too often anymore- I had not seen them for over a year. They are playing a show with The Brodys and Knocked Down 2 weeks from tonight at the Starlet room! You should go. I will be there, unless someone else infects me with some virus.

Lamonta- Old Ironsides, Sacramento Ca. 11/19/23 4K UHD Master w/ Schoeps Audio Pop Punk

I try to be impartial over here, but it’s hard to not have favorites with so many awesome bands in Sac. These guys have (as the kids say) been living “rent free” in my head for a couple of weeks now. Songwriting that is up there with the top pop punk bands. Check out the “Exactly” EP on bandcamp (listen from the start) and you’re welcome.
Lamonta were the second to last band in Danny’s 5 night F Cancer run this year. I rarely head out to back-to-back shows now, but I had to make it to this one to see The Knockoffs and Lamonta. Good set with some of my favorite songs of theirs, but the vocals were a bit muffled and buried in the club mix. So, go listen to that EP on bandcamp while watching this on mute. or something.

The Community- Phono Select, Sacramento Ca 11/18/23 4K UHD Master with Schoeps Audio

As part of Danny’s F Cancer annual fest, The Community played for the first time in 7ish years. I missed them the first time around so I was happy to see them… and having them in well-lit Phono was even better. I mentioned this before, but it seemed like everyone from the 2010s punk scene showed up for this one. It was nice to catch up with so many people, and to meet Neil from The Community.
Sorry it took so long to post this one, pluraleyes chokes on big files- I tried synching the schoeps audio with this right after the show, but it kept erroring out. I was planning to give it one last try then chop the video in half, synch, the rejoin the parts (which is as big of a pain in the ass as it sounds), and it decided to work this morning. Man, I wish I knew what made it work this time around.
Anyway, a good energetic set from the band. Danny was able to donate $7k to American Cancer Society as part of the 5 night run of shows.
