Stockton Gig Report - Out of the Jaws of Chaos!
So Mjeb and I both wrote reports for last night's gig ... he got in first, but hey - here's a second point of view!
They say that to see the true colours of a man apply pressure. I venture that the same applies to a band.
The sound-gremlins had us in their sights last night - the electrical doodads were not firing on all cylinders. After much plugging and unplugging and cussin' a phone call to our resident drummer-on-the-mend, Theo, saw him make a couple of calls from his sickbed (or sick-sofa as the case may be) to a friend who was also doing a gig in Newcastle.
Theo saves us from the Bench! Stockton gig report
As sometimes occurs in ventures such as ours, we had some minor technical hiccups yesterday. We were fielding a Brand New Awesome PA system, including the massive bass bins, latest RCF front of house, oh the glorious sound.
Of course, that's what i would be writing if we'd only had 2 leetle, teeny tiny adapters for the desk. Ye Gods. Suffice to say that a quick phone call to our recovering percussion section Theo, yielded a destination for an emergency dash for our golden roadie, Carl. BIG THANKS to Mike for the loan of the 3 pin adapters and Theo for saving our butts even when he's on the bench.
Stormcellar at Stockton RSL this Sat 4th Sept
Carls Chair post production slowly moving forward
Its been two months since we recorded the Carls Chair project in Cumnock, and in that time we've split the wav files, listened to the tracks and started separating them out into the ones we think should be mixed.
With the G Man back from O/S, its time to start the cleaning and tweaking. Now that i know better, I'm not going to put a time line on when we can expect to have this next album out, but to be sure, I'll post about it as we do it.
Of course, there's always the artwork to do, so as per usual, we'll try out a few different designs before settling on a final one, and as per usual, dear reader, you are our guinea pigs for testing :-) Thats what the comments button is for!
# Carls Chair Draft Cover V1 - Not sure about the lettering hmmm...
Nominate a Ned! WANTED! Someone to play Ned Kelly in our video!
Got a beard? On the Lam? Feeling Rebellious? Want to stick it to the Man?
We're looking for someone to play Ned Kelly in our videoclip for our song 'Last Drinks at Glenrowan'. If you or someone you know could be our Ned, drop us a line (or a rope) and you could win a free ticket to one of our gigs.
Ok, so most of our gigs are free entry, but thats not the point. We'll print up a special ticket for you!
And also maybe buy you a drink.
All right a drink and a copy of our album. Right. Thats where my promotions budget runs out.
If you have been following our videoclips (click here to see some) you'll know we do some wacky stuff, and the videoclip for Last Drinks at Glenrowan promises to be another one of those crazy ideas! So seize your chance to get back at the Crown! Nominate a Ned today!
