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.

The Knockoffs- Old Ironsides, Sacramento 8/24/13 20th Anniversary show HD Master Live

Thanks to one of the band members for asking about this- I thought it was posted years ago. This was about 1 month before I got my first pro camera, so this looks and sounds decent, but it is a bit grainy. I think I audio recorded the show as well- I will need to check.
Anyway, this is such a great show- this was the band’s first show back after many years, and it was their 20th anniversary show. Lots of special guests: Tim White! Rochelle Sparman! Ted Angel! We even get a rare “close but no cigar” with Tim.
Jim Mclain- were you there? This may be a good one that we can work on as a multicam.

The Knockoffs- Plea for Peace Center, Stockton Ca. 8/17/13 1080p HD Live Video Master

Since I had posted about a million audio shows in a row, I checked the list to see if I could put some actual moving pictures up here…
I was sad to see that there are no posts from Plea for Peace on the archive. I only went to this show there- on the venue’s closing night- to see The Knockoffs play an unannounced show. The funny thing is that many of my good friends now (Jordan Wolfe, Bear Williams, Anthony Lew, Lory Gilpatric, Matt Bennett and Charles Albright) were playing the show but I did know them OR the bands back then! I was so out of it.
One of the reasons why I did not post this back in 2013 was due to the audio quality. There was something wrong with the PA that night- it was not very loud, but SUPER “squelchy”. It made my ears ring badly after the show, even without the volume. This was The Knockoffs first show back after a years-long layoff. It was a secret warmup show in preparation for the headlining punch and pie 20th anniversary show the following weekend. Great show and who knew that you could stick guitar picks on Tom’s head like that?
