Had a KILLER gig! Have to say we played a stormer from start to finish, tightest we've ever been live, and kept the energy levels right up ffor an entire hour.... Got held up by the late finish to the footie (some Spanish people playing footie in the park with other Spanish people or something, apparently this is very important, and I should know more about it than I do). Didnt get started setting up until 10:30, but on we went at 10:50 soundcheck be damned, and turned a pub full of footie fans into a huge crowd of grooving funkateers in a couple of minutes! Apparently according to the publican this "Just doesnt happen" normally (the footie crowd usually exits asap when a band starts up in there). So that combined with our general willingness to cope with whatever oddities fate turns up in a calm and aqgreeable fashion means we've been given a residency there, which is ace, got double the expected cash(!) since we kept people in house drinking for an extra hour, got asked how much we charge by another publican from a London pub who happened to be in town for a wedding, loves funk and was blown away by the way we entertained an 'alien' crowd, and finally got asked if we'd like a slot on small stage at Sundown by a chap who is DJing on said stage and is close mates with the organisers. Oh and next time we are back we need to get there an hour earlier so the kitchen staff can feed us because they want to, since they dig the funk too..... All in all an utterly storming night, and probably the most fun I've had on stage in the last ten years

Brilliant gig, delayed by the footie going into extra time, however we managed to turn a pub full of footie fans into a pub full of funkateers in about 3 minutes of the first track. Had a ball playing our stuff, have been asked back on a regular basis, got asked to do a gig at a different pub up in the smoke, and got a possible festival slot out of the night! All in all a definite win!

So this is tomorrow evening if anyone wants to come and join the fun!

Bumparoony because its now only a week away!

Just buy a new 16gb card and bin the knackered one....

Vote added, top track, love Mr Venom and his band of merry reprobates, I liked a lot of the more old school garagey psychobilly mixes, but in the end I was seduced by the sheer power of mix 6, excellent effort!

Chaps, Mister Super Juice are playing at The World's End in Brighton on Saturday 24th May. Entry is free and we should be cranking up the funkiness from about 9:45pm Would love to see some BC'ers there!

Yeah defo an interface with some form of direct monitoring. Again RME provide about the most powerful version avaialable out there in their TotalMix product which come swith their interfaces. At 192KHz my UCX manages a latency of sub 3ms without glitches, but because I am happy to monitor using Total Mix and work that way I can get perfect results with 16 tracks of audio input (Audient ASP008 plus a coupl eof other mic pres and some line level inputs) at 48KHz (which is absolutely fine to my ear) setting the latency higher to be safe and have no latency at all recording to my Sony Vaio lappie. I can't recommend RME enough

The Sister's version has always been my favourite

Karaoke-itis.....

Massive +1 JTUK....

Get her to watch a bunch of K.D.Lang live performances, that woman has brilliant mic technique....

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1396179098' post='2410627'] No, compression brings up the feedback and makes things worse. If you think about it guitarists use feedback to improve their sustain. [/quote] That is true But a bit of subtle compression may still help

Record the gig Video too if poss Bad Mic technique means no amount of PA shenanigans can sort it. If she won't fix her Mic technique then she will never project.........

It's also why a real mix takes a good 15 hours graft

The answer is a bit of compression and a lot of automation

I did! Totally awesome! Edit: Let me qualify that a bit, it was awesome to see a personal hero lay down some great grooves, that was awesome, and his guitarist was equally superb, funky as hell. The drummer appeared to have mistaken his role as one of building a shed at the end of every 4 bars rather than simply holding down a funky groove with some subtle, inventive and most importantly funky, embellishments. Totally overblown drumming that rather spoiled things. On top of which the engineer had gone for 'classic heavy rock mix #1' whereby the drums are mind numbingly loud, compressed to get maximum attack off every stroke and thoroughly crush the rest of the band, whilst GP's bass was rather undefined mud for the most part. Great keys player too, epic gurning whilst noodling on the occasions he was allowed to as well. Most entertaining. The set got a little lacjklustre in the later quarter, but the middle and ensd were worth the price of admission alone for me....

Dat so purdy boy.....

Mister Super Juice on Friday at the World's End Brighton. What a brilliant evening! Band soundcheck in less than five minutes, everything just sounded perfect. We played an hour and twenty minutes of instrumental original funk, some of which gets a tad jazz funk in places. The people who came to see us were really enjoying it, but even more importantly the entire pub crowded over to check us out, and get down with their bad selves Tons of complements from strangers, the manager loved it, thought we were ace and wants us back asap... And people who'd seen us before said we had really improved over last time and the four new tracks were great. Chuffed to bits! Highlight of the night? Getting an entire pub chanting "Tuba, tuba, tuba" before we played the encore tuba driven final track, I doubt that's ever happened in there before!!

A 600mm x 600mm hop up for my rig to go on...

Tonight then chaps! Anyone fancy getting their ears filled with some funky noise, come down to The World's End in Brighton around 10:00 tonight

Properly gutted....

Define 'good'... I dunno, I've always been underwhelemd by all valve kit, horses for courses I suppose, or maybe the stuff I've tried wasnt really very good?
