I’m finally getting around to M.I.T. at Til-Two club. Here’s “Sorry Tom”, a short, tongue-in-cheek song about how much of an alcoholic asshole Tom (bass) is.

Roman Watchdogs – 4 songs – Live at The Pour House Jan 13, 2018
Here’s the final 4 songs of Roman Watchdogs’ set at their CD release party at The Pour House in Oceanside, CA on January 13, 2018. Camera is my Panasonic GH5, and audio is my new Shure MV88 stereo mic in the audience. Audio was mastered by Dan Bonn.
Making Incredible Time – “Burn & Turn” – The Pour House Oceanside, CA
So far, I’ve made two kinds of live videos. Full productions, with 3 cameras, audio recorded in multi-track from the soundboard, then mixed and mastered. That is time consuming and runs about 20 man hours for a 30-minute show, but the quality is great. The other way is quick and dirty, one camera with audio on the camera. The quality of that is, well, not great.
I’m trying a third way. One camera, but audio is a stereo mic in the audience. I bought a Shure MV88 stereo mic. It records to an iPhone via the Lightning connector in 24/48. I used it this past Saturday to record Roman Watchdogs and M.I.T. at The Pour House in Oceanside, CA.
I’m very happy with the result. I’m not sure what the venue’s sound guy was thinking with all the reverb, but the MV88 did it’s job very well.
Roman Watchdogs – Live at Til-Two Club – Full Show
The full show of Roman Watchdogs at Til-Two Club on December 15, 2017 is up!
Roman Watchdogs “Not Looking For Love”
“Not Looking For Love” by Roman Watchdogs, live at Til-Two Club, is up on YouTube, for your New Years Eve viewing pleasure. This was challenging, as Til-Two Club is a small venue, and the audio recording from the board was only 6 tracks – 2 vocals, guitar, bass, kick drum and snare drum. Dan Bonn worked his magic, though, and it sounds awesome.
The full show will be up in a few days.
PunchCard live – “Hari Kari”
The single for “Hari Kari”, from PunchCard’s Halloween show at Winstons, is up on YouTube.
PunchCard Live at Winstons
It’s finally done! PunchCard Live at Winstons, the source of my top banner photo, is live on YouTube. Tomorrow I’ll post about how I made it, but for tonight, just enjoy:
Broken Record
Halloween weekend, I shot Broken Record and PunchCard at WinstonsOB. I got the audio tracks from soundguy Kyle, and handed them off to Dan Bonn so he could work his magic.
There was a technical difficulty (it happens when you do live recording) and the tracks for Broken Record only had the first song. Bummer.
Anyway, Dan got me the final mix for Broken Record, so here’s the final video:
Streams of Whiskey
The second and final single from the PB Cantina show is up. It’s Tony, Pete, and Joey doing a cover of The Pogues “Streams of Whisky”. Here it is:
Company Man
The standalone video for “Company Man” by Tony Silipigno, from the PB Cantina Oct 16 show, is live. Whenever I make a full convert video, I always take a few songs and make standalone videos for them. Some people see a running time of 30 min or an hour, and just say “nope!” So, a single song can sometimes be more appealing.
