Looks like I'm going to Fun Fun Fun Fest in a couple weeks. A few days ago I stumbled across some really, REALLY cheap plane tickets to Austin, and decided at 3am that I have to go. I don't think I'm going to be allowed to bring my video camera into the festival, but I'm going to bring it anyway and hopefully be able to film some of the after shows that have some pretty awesome bands playing. I will be bringing my audio gear with me for the whole thing; feel free to leave comments on any bands playing that weekend that you'd like me to tape and I'll do my best. Also, if there is anybody that reads this that is from Austin...you should let me sleep on your floor. I'm quiet, clean, and I'll bring you copies of whatever live recordings you want.

This week's edition of "From The Archive" contains a show that is evidence of a lot of "firsts" from my taping exploits. This was the first time I taped/filmed a show in San Francisco. First time I ran two cameras and did audio by myself. And the first show I ever did a multi-cam edit on. I actually did a re-master on this show though since I'm not entirely happy with my first attempt at video editing.
The show itself was at one of my favorite venues, Bottom of the Hill in SF. My buddy Justin and I actually filmed a show in Sacramento earlier this day, and booked it over to SF for the show, got lost once we got into the city, and by total luck ended up turning on to the street that Bottom of the Hill is located. SF is the only city I've ever gotten lost in, and it happened at least the first 5 times I was there. Justin was usually the designated filmer when we went to shows together, but he absolutely refused to do anything during BVS shows so he could just lose his mind during the show. When you combine my inexperience filming at this time (I had filmed my first show earlier in the week) with the lower quality cameras we were using at the time, the show doesn't look nearly as good as some of the most recent videos I've done...but it is still a Bear Vs. Shark full set. I hope you enjoy this, and I should have another set from my archives to post next week. Possibly a 2005 Cave In show at Chain Reaction?

This is the inaugural edition of a new feature I've been thinking about for a while now. I started this blog at the beginning of 2011, but have been taping audio at shows since 2003 and started doing video in 2005. That I have years of quality shows that deserve a wider audience than my hard drive. This show isn't that old, but was one of my favorite (if not my absolute favorite) shows I taped/filmed in 2010. Their new album, The Lack Long After went up for pre-order today here via Topshelf Records, and I highly suggest picking it up. New song from the record is streaming here.
This is another show that I finished a while back, but somehow skipped over it and forgot to post it here. Youtube links have been up since a few days after the show. Oh, and I know Graf Orlock is listed on the flyer, but they didn't play this show. Otherwise I would have taped them. Enjoy!
