Ares Kingdom- Starlet Room, Sacramento 9/19/23 4K UHD w/Schoeps Audio Thrash Death Metal Kansas City

Last month, we had a KILLER package tour come through Sac. It was Demiser, these guys, Deceased and Italy’s Bulldozer. I came in during Demiser and they were amazing- it bummed me out to miss the full set.
Deceased melted my face off and I will get the multicam of that one done asap, along with the Bulldozer set.
Ares Kingdom has a bunch of releases out on the killer “nuclear war now” label- I have some of their Witchfinder General releases. I think they were missing a guitar player for this show.

Deceased- Starlet Room, Sacramento Ca. 9/19/23 4K UHD Multicam Death Metal

Friday is video day and this show was really something. I went to see Bulldozer because I could not believe they were playing a tiny place in Sac, but this band absolutely RIPPED. I know they have been around for 30 years and they were the first band ever signed to Relapse Records, but they were new to me… and their vocalist is friends with at least one of my old friend/tape traders from the 80s.
This should have been a 4 or 5 camera thing, but I forgot one gopro stand at home and I am still not comfortable mounting a camera to that very wide post at starlet. Grr.
After the set, I immediately went back to the merch table and bought some CD’s. This band rips.

Bulldozer- Starlet Room, Sacramento 9/19/23 4K UHD Multicam w/ Schoeps Day of Wrath show Italy Metal

I still can’t believe that Bulldozer came though sac to celebrate 40 years of their Day of Wrath album. This video is decent but the gopro quality suffered as a result of the red lighting.
After the set, I went to the stage to break down my cameras and one was missing. King from Deceased told me “some fat dude fell on top of it- it’s probably around here somewhere”. He was right, it was lying at the back of the stage and the stand was totally wasted. That makes 2 stands that bit the dust in the past couple months.
That means that you get 3 cameras for about the first 40min of the show, then 2 cameras for the rest. Oh well, the drummer is so animated that it is still pretty entertaining.

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.

Desario- Starlet Room, Sacramento Ca 9/30/22 4K UHD Multicam with Matrix Audio

My old friends Desario put out a new album called Signal and Noise last year on Fort Lowell Records. Here is a multicam of the album release show. John and Mike from the band go WAY back as friends- we were in the punk band CCR back in the 80’s together, and John introduced himself to me at Roseville High School in 1984 because I was wearing a sleeveless black T-Shirt with a Manowar back patch sewn on the back. PSA: Don’t ever do that- your back sweats like hell.
Anyway, enjoy the show. Looks nice and sounds great thanks to Anonymous.

Negativland- Starlet Room, Sacramento 9/18/21 Master Recording with DPA 4061 mics Live

I had trouble getting out of the house (kids, I tell ya) and I got to the show at about a quarter after 8. Negativland was ALREADY ON! Sh*t. I was told that I did not miss much of the set- I caught the last 45min. Wow, what a great show. I encourage anyone even remotely interested to go see this show. The visual show along with this soundtrack was really cool.
At the end of the show, I went to talk to my friends Vinny and Sherman and looked down at my PCM-M10 and it had shut off. I don’t know why- I think the batteries that I had in there since before the pandemic(and showed full) pooped the bed. So I get home and I see that I got the complete end of the show- great! I try to EQ it and the file is corrupt due to the power drop. I had to jump through hoops (huge thanks to youtube tutorials) to un-corrupt it. First world pandemic problems.
It sounds pretty good. I should have stood in the center of the venue rather than next to 1 PA speaker- I did not know it was going to be a stereo mix. Very cool.
Thanks to Brian McKenna for continuing to bring great and risky (promoting wise) acts to town.
