Hi Evan-



Sorry to see that you'll by-pass my lame city. I guess your act isn't ''metal'' enough for the young males and isn't touring in the right place/right time to be here on the Clear Channel station concerts.



Hope to see you sometime.



Have fun, ride safe.

Re: Coming to a City Near You!

I live about 15 mins from the 9:30 club... would love to come check out your show on the 28th.



Out of that list, the 930 club is probably my favorite. I did an electronic pop act in that room last and was simply amazed at how well the system held up during what I called the ''audience abuse portion of our show.'' I think I hit the yellow lights once on the system and my hair was literally being blown back by the sound.

I brought in an extra 8 B2's last time I was in there, and parked all of them into GR during the encore. Now THAT was fun.

Of the US venues, I'm a big fan of The Pageant in St. Louis too.





And of course, the last show at UMBC is going to be awesome with a complete d&b Q rig.

Yeah.. the system there is impressive... I'm dying to see what Evan can do with it.
 
Re: Coming to a City Near You!

Once again Id love to try and meet up with ya in Cleveland. Last time when you did the smaller showing at the Grog shop I ended up getting slammed and couldn't make it!
 
Re: Coming to a City Near You!

Certainly one of the worst rooms in North America, if not the world. The RT60 is so long you can still hear the encore of last night's gig when you show up for load in. Luckily, I've only ever had to mix monitors there.



The dressing room vibe is kinda cool though, in a drug-induced orgy sorta way.

This will be my 4th show upstairs in the ballroom. We've finally figured it enough that we can have a good show in there(believe it or not!).



Best results were 8 v-dosc a side(so far). Point the top box of the array at the balcony upstairs, and keep the rest of the array on the floor. As long as you keep the sound out of that big bowl of a roof, it isn't super super bad.

That, and turn it down about 6dB...



I was told that when Kid Rock played there the dressing rooms weren't ''nice'' enough for him, so they hired a bunch of interior designers to make everything look better. Interesting vibes indeed!

The pool / boiler room is still my favorite there. That place is just creepy at night!

Re: Coming to a City Near You!

Hey Evan!

are you flying in on the 14th to Brussels? if so, we could go out and grab some real Belgian Waffles. i'll show you the Brussels soft waffle with whipped cream, the liege waffle with sugar, or the classic stroopwaffle... You'll then be able to tell Waffle house a thing or two about waffles.

Otherwise, I can also bring you a selection of waffles to the show on the 15th

Let me know!



ps: good luck in Estragon. 95 dB(A) and a shitty venue to boot!
 
Re: Coming to a City Near You!

Must try and meet up with you in Glasgow The Barrowland ballroom is a historic place many a good gig had in there as both a punter and operator, only holds about 1800 but it's a fun place G
