Funny story about this one. So I *really* wanted to see Strange Party but I had a call for work from 10-11pm on the same night. So I had this great idea to go to the club and take the call from the parking lot. The plan worked great… unit the call went over by 25min and I missed half their set. I think this was the live debut of “skin on skin”- killer new song.

Ah yes, this is why the on This Date in History thing is so much fun. I filmed this 10 years ago and then never posted it. The Strange Party were one of my favorite Sacramento bands. Still bummed they broke up AND double bummed that Justin pulled his music off Bandcamp. Now I can’t stream what I bought. Pull your music from Spotify, but not bandcamp! C’mon.
EDIT: Justin just messaged me and let me know that his music is BACK! It was pulled down for a re-release on a new label that didn’t materialize. Check out bandcamp for their stuff. I will add links in comments.
The Crest had this series where bands would play in the lobby/lounge area before the showing of a classic movie. They were playing a horror movie on this night, so who better to ask than this band? I didn’t recall the lighting being so good, this turned out great.
I think my friend Anonymous audio taped this with his schoeps as well.

The Strange Party have been around a long time in Sac, but I only recently “discovered” them. They are my favorite Sacramento band right now. If you like melodic, misfits/horror influenced rock, look no further. Filmed with 2 HFG10’s and 1 HFG30 with Rode Video Pro Stereo Mic. Thanks, as always, to Agelos for the nice edit job! Thanks to Ken Doose for putting this thing on!
