The strange party played a really special set for this show- they broke out some of their really old (and great) songs.. and then they surprised us with an encore of “I think of demons” by Roky Erickson! It was so awesome!! I hope that Jim McLain’s video has more vocals so we can hear Justin a bit better.

I think most of us miss going out to live shows. Here’s a band a REALLY miss- they have not played for over a year now. Such a great band. This was a killer set- Justin was super excited that I brought The Undead to town and they opened the show. I was holding this for a multicam edit but the other angles didn’t work out. 2 more strange party multicams are coming up!

Thanks to my friend Agelos for helping with a bunch of multicamera edits of our amazing local bands. I don’t think it is a secret that The Strange Party were one of my favorites. Here’s yet another video of them- this one from the same show as the Red Pills that I posted the other day.
I screwed up and let my battery die so the audio is cut between the “good mic” and the stock mic on the other camera. Thanks to Agelos for the audio splice work!

Man, what a show. This was the loosest show I have seen them play, and I mean that in a good way. Great performance and Just a lot of fun. They had not played in a couple of months and had no setlist. They played my request, so I went home happy. Thanks Ken! Bat Guano fest continues tonight- head on out! Also, watch Justin’s amazing “beer in the microphone stand” trick in the later part of the show. Amazing!

Another one of my masters for today’s On This Date in History and it’s yet another Strange Party video that never got posted somehow. I went to see them every time they played if I could, so I guess it shouldn’t be too big of a surprise that I have video to post.
This was during Danny Reynoso’s “F*ck Cancer” series of concerts– and the annual event is still happening! You have 2 chances to catch the F Cancer series this year- tomorrow night at Corner Sport, on Tupelo Drive in Citrus Heights and the grand finale of wrestling and pop punk at Press Club Saturday. I’ll be at the show tomorrow night. My mom passed from cancer on Tupelo drive in 2006, so hitting that show seems like it was destined to happen. I need to check out the new venues over there anyway. All proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society.
