Conversation about: Sacramento Music Scene History: 1980s

We played Harry's, as well as Fat Fonzie's, Rock Factory, Beaverbrook's, Spanky's, Shire Road, El Dorado Saloon, Sac State, and about a dozen other venues in town. We toodled around in a '55 Wonder Bread truck, humping gear (before we got roadies, a couple of years in) and keeping our gear working. Great fun, those days.

Dave Presher wrote on Facebook, "I am quite proud to say I booked them (The Features) when I worked at KROY and then hooked them up for the KPOP anniversary show at the Woodland something hotel. Pretty sure I booked them at Lord Beaverbrooks, Rock Factory etc for their first gigs. Great music, great guys and they sold the joint out!". Great guy, Dave.

Actually, KPOP did play the Features' album "Up Up Side Side" whenever they got requests (they got a lot) and whenever they interviewed us (usually with Charlee Simons). We were never in regular rotation, though. People say they heard us on other stations too, but that was probably requests, as well. KPOP broadcast us live a couple of times, too.

This is great, thanks Alex! I'd like to add that many local stations played The Features by request, and KROY FM broadcast us live, twice. Local support was a huge gift to Sac musicians at the time - we appreciate it to this day! Johnny Pride, The Features.
