Knockoffs- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca 2/23/25 4K UHD Multicam w/ Scheops Audio Punk Live Full Show

Welp. What a day. Got rear ended while stopped and turning left at a stoplight a couple hours ago, then I came home and realized that my computer is kinda messed up. I mounted a mac hard drive to my windows PC and my RAID drive letters changed as a result, which seems to have broken at least 1 of my programs (Adobe Premiere/neat video). Time for a new install, I suppose.

Instead of the planned Chris Eng post which needs Adobe, let’s post this one in honor of Bobby Jordan. Bobby is the bass player in the Knockoffs and a bunch of other Sacramento area bands. A little over a week ago, 7 Seconds contacted him and asked him to learn an hour long set of songs. They had 1 rehearsal and then played 2 shows over the weekend. He was awesome. The Harlow’s show was probably the best 7 seconds show I have seen in person since 1986. Great crowd.

Anyway, The Knockoffs played Cafe Colonial a few months ago and were great. I have been a fan for over 25 years- glad they are still playing shows.

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.

The Knockoffs- Old Ironsides, Sacrmento 2/18/23 4K UHD Multicam with Rode Audio

I bought my ticket for this Dickies Old I show the day they went on sale, before any local openers were announced. I was very happy when The Knockoffs were added to the bill about a month later. They played a short set- they had an opportunity to play longer when an opener dropped off the bill, but they chose to leave the fans wanting more.
This is the first time video’ing the band in 4k, so you can see every bead of sweat and wrinkle on the guys. Enjoy!

The Knockoffs, The Moans, Joshua Thompson- F*ck Cancer Online benefit 11/11/20

Danny Reynoso/Secretion has really outdone himself this time. In pre-Covid times, he would produce a week of shows- usually 4 or 5 nights of great local bands to in honor of his father, to benefit American Cancer Society. He is doing these online this year- the first happened on Wednesday night, so you will see them posted/archived here a couple of days after they are posted.

Includes a cool interview with local DJ/promoter Andy Hawk

You can order the benefit shirt online from Nov 11-30, check it out!

Bat Guano Fest 2020 w/ Yoohoos, Sad Girlz Club, Cory Wiegert, Cassette Idols, The Knockoffs, Joe McKinney, Brianna Carmel, Justin Pine, Sarchasm, Matt Crap, Well Placed Whoas, The Left Hand, Mark of Defyance, Danny Reynoso, and Tim Williamson!

There are a few “can’t miss” music events in Sacramento each year–
The Punch and Pie fest which used to happen in August, Danny Reynoso’s “Fuck Cancer” event in November, and this one. The Bat Guano fest has been curated by Ken Doose for the past 10 years, and it looked like this year would be cancelled due to Covid. Thanks to some friendly goading from friends, it was changed to an online event and it worked out really well. It also allowed past Bat Guano bands such as The Yoohoos to perform from Germany. The only thing that could have made it better would have been a virtual post-show hangout via zoom! Miss these guys (and gals).

The Knockoffs- Cafe Colonial, Sacramento Ca. 1/25/20 Lumix GH5S 4K UHD Live Punk w/Rode Audio

I was so happy to see that The Knockoffs, one of my all time favorite Sacramento bands, were added to the Field Day show. They played a short(for them) 30 minute set packed with all of their hits. I sang myself hoarse between this set and Field Day.

The Knockoffs- Old Ironsides, Sacramento Ca. 10/25/19 4K UHD Live

Right after Sheer Terror’s set at Den of Sin, I broke down cameras and hauled ass over to Old Ironsides. As soon as I walked in and paid/ID check, they started their set. Perfect timing! The beginning of the video is a little chaotic since they put a damned halloween decoration hanging on stage which got in the way. It is smooth sailing after I move a couple minutes in.
This was the band’s show for their first release in about 15 years, the EP “What a Bunch of Dicks”. They only made 50 CD’s due to copyright issues with the cover. So happy to get one. They sound great with Bear on drums.
