Freature- Bat Guano Fest, The Colony, Sacramento Ca. 9/21/19 4K UHD Live

Man, I love these guys. Pretty unique mix of punk and power pop. So I forgot to plug my camera mic in for the first 2min of the show. I was going to include the video here, but I watched it and the audio is total distortion. Good to know that the camera can’t handle a mic plug in without requiring a stop/start, and that the internal mic can’t handle volume. It was super loud. When David would hit the bass drum, a big puff of air would hit me in the face occasionally. I can’t say that has ever happened. Sounds pretty damned good despite the volume Well done, Sean!

Connoisseur- The Colony, Sacramento Ca. 7/6/19 Live 4k HD Master Rode Videomic Pro Stereo

My friend Dan Hague and his band connoisseur came through town last weekend so I decided to bring my wife to the show on “date night”. She had no idea what powerviolence was, but she survived the show and even enjoyed seeing them play. They were great- Carlos is an entertaining front man.

Also nice to see Lee Osh and Scott Torguson- first time meeting Scott in person.

City Mouse- The Colony, Sacramento Ca. 2/22/19 Canon HFG40 Rode Videomic Pro Stereo

City Mouse is one of my favorite bands- they put out my favorite album of 2017 and they have not been to Sacramento since the release of Get Right. This is the best I have ever seen them, even though I think some of the members were just filling in for this short west coast tour. SO GOOD. I think the 2nd guitar really helps fill out the sound. I loved it so much that I bought the LP and 7″ even though I already had them. I am cursed to never own a City Mouse shirt.

Bastards of Young- The Colony, Sacramento Ca. 2/22/19 Canon HFG40 Rode Videomic Pro Stereo

Bastards of young were second on the bill at Sad Girlz Club’s CD release show. This set was the BEST that I have ever heard the colony sound. In between songs, I almost yelled out “nice mix AJ” but I thought that would sound ridiculous.
This is a typical 30 minute set from B.O.Y., but just as tight if not tighter than usual. I realized that I have video recorded them a LOT over the past few years.

The O’Mulligans- The Colony, Sacramento 11/17/18 Closing Show

I don’t know if there is another band who played the Colony/Colonial Cafe more than The O’Mulligans. They printed up a nice 11×17 poster with thumbnails of a lot of the posters of the shows they played (over 20). It was a nice tribute.
They did my favorite song- Deejay and they did a Green Day cover. You’ll need to watch to see which one it is.

Anime Aliens- The Colony, Sacramento Ca. 8/24/18 Canon HFG40 Rode Video Pro Stereo Mic

Here’s another set of killer harmony guitar leads, terrible jokes and the most pavement sounding songs I have heard outside of pavement(that’s a compliment). It’s the Anime Aliens! I was at the Colonial Cafe for the Dearly Divided show, but the timing worked out and I was able to catch this show too.
