« Show prep | Main | Pix from Echo Performance »
Thursday, Feb 10
The show at Echo was terrific. Tone along with Junior High, Slap & myself delivered hot performances. Tone's supporters were out in full force, making this event very live, especially for a Tuesday night.
We went out to do the sound check early on Tuesday and thought it would be a quick deal. The stage was in place, and we brought our own sound system. But once we had the ta-tas, mics, mixer and speakers rigged up, we started running in to trouble. The EONs were not pumping enough bass to fill the space. Luckily, we spotted a spare house EON, which we added into the sytem. Then we converted one of the EONs into our bass cabinet. So we got it sounding right.
Then, during Tone's mic check, the tracks started making a popping sound. We trouble-shot that issue for at least an hour before we pinpointed the source of the problem: our CD player (a high-end specialty performance unit) was skipping from the sound waves. Crap. Junior High rigged up a damping system and finally the music was cool. All in all, instead of taking an hour and a half, the sound check took more like three and a half hours. In the end, though, it was worth it because Tone was able to perform with confidence that the equipment would deliver properly.
Major thank you's to all of the Seedlings who came out on a Tuesday night to support Tone and Bad Seed Music. Basically, we knew everybody there - meaning, that everyone there came to see Tone. Not bad!
Also, I will be posting pics from the show in the next couple of days.
