Default 'nother gig report w/usual crappy pics! - 07-30-2009, 11:05 AM

Last Friday night both my side band and main band played a little benefit gig for a local place called the Civic Media Center, which is a library/reading room for non-corporate media, and which also serves as a meeting place for lots of local political and charitable organizations.

We had to set up our PA, which I combined with theirs. When I got there to set up, I discovered that one of my PA columns had its input jack entirely sheared off, so the lead singer in my side band went back to our office to get one of his cabs. When we got it all put together we had two mains and two monitor cabs (one back with the drummer so he could hear the vocals, and one stage left as a side fill for the lead singer). We occasionally had some feedback problems during the second set, but given that I hadn't run sound in ages and cobbled together 2 PA's, it actually worked pretty well. The only things in the PA were 3 vocals and the kick drum.

It was lightly attended, maybe just a couple dozen people, but I talked Mrs. Krashpad into bringing my 12-year-old (Mrs. K was going to bring our daughter too, but she had a migraine), and El Krashpadito had a blast. He also took pics, and did a decent job for a little kid.

There was no A/C. It was sweltering in there, even with fans going. Dangerously hot. I was a little off the first set simply due to fatigue from loading in and setting up. The second one went better, minor tech problems aside.

Hoyt and the Hotheads opened, Crash Pad closed. Questions welcomed and the usual comments on my poseritude expected.

Here's some of the Hotheads:

The usual shenanigans.



I've fallen and I can't get up! (Actually, this is a roll move used to get back on your feet while still playing, promise.)
