First gig in 3 years tonight

Well it was interesting lol.

Lesson the first: when you have an intro track where you don't play anything don't get on stage until its most of the way through. Especially if the soundguy decides to out lights on when you specifically asked the room to be as dark as possible.

Lesson the second: this is metal, rather heavy metal at that. But because we have programmed drums the engineer decided it was ok for us to be quiet. When this happens it doesn't really have the same impact.

Lesson the third: it is really hard to play the first track when:
A. The singers Mic is turned off
B. The guitar is turned right down
C. The drums are turned right down

I was basically the only thing that was audible, it was so hard to keep in time! And it set a really bad impression for the first 5 minutes of a 25 minute set. People were nodding along by the end though.

It was fun to be back on stage but I felt somewhat let down by the engineer last night. This may lead to us finding our own engineer in the future.

Oh and the singers cossack dance while moshing goes down quite well :-)

Bet you'll remember the gig though.
Don't do it for the money - do it for the fun of it and everything else will take care of itself.
Every gig will have its moments.
Sounds like a good night was had and that's what counts.

Well done.
All the best
Dave
