How many times have you gone to see a band in a bar and they blow your ears out? So many musicians are big vain babies who don't want to play at a reasonable volume level. "That's not rock and roll," right? Guitarists can't get their perfect tone if their amp's not on at least 9! Drummers want to hit hard because it's more 'dynamic!' Blah, blah, blah... There's always an excuse. So the band has a blast and the bar and the customers DON'T!!! We've all been there and it's not always a great night.
Okay, we get it. It's fun to play loud, but it's not always the best thing for your venue. Musicians & bands need to realize -- you're not there for your own artistic endeavor. You're working. You're working for the bar owner. You're working for the folks who came out to see you. You. Are. Working! So we've been working on this for a while now: the idea of being able to give a fun, energetic performance at a volume where folks can still order their drinks and carry on conversations without their ears bleeding. And we've got it worked out and dialed in. We can now rehearse in a house with our amps and an acoustic drum kit in one room while people read in another room. Really, we can. This is so exciting to us; we hope it's also exciting to anyone who wants us to play for them. Let's go gigging!
