How was your gig last night?

Back from playing Dorset Chilli Festival. Was a great day and some lovely food. Recommended.

Runnymede Live, Victory Park, Addelstone.

It only took 2 years but Electrik Soup finally got around to doing a gig! The phrase 'herding cats' was invented for this band 😆

Outdoor gig today, fortunately the weather was good. We were the first band on at 12:45pm. Set consisting of mainly 90's indie and Britpop (hence the bucket hat).

One of the guitarists forgot to bring the bass amp, so I used a Warwick Gnome belonging to the other guitarist, just as a DI. It sounded really good, with a surprising amount of 'heft'. On stage monitors were plentiful and although we didn't have a sound check the on stage sound was sorted by the third song, and FOH sounded great according to the punters I spoke to. 

I only took a clip on tuner, which died as I was tuning. All I needed on an out door gig 😖. But Shuker 3 is awfully resilient and tends to stay in tune regardless of environment. So I got away with it.

Gear: Shuker 3 > Airbridge wireless > Warwick Gnome (DI) > FOH

How did you get involved in that one, it looks a lot of fun (despite lack of dancers)? It would be a good one for us to do if they have a few bands on during the day.

DM’d

I couldn’t play that. The band would be running round trying to find me trying all the chilli products

We arrived early and went round the festival before anyone else!

 

Bought some naga chilli sauce which was my level. Tried hotter ones, but the flavours weren’t as good.

Auld Gambling House in Alloa for BLOCKBUSTARZ tonight. 

Reasonable sized crowd maybe 100 in plus a childhood neighbour turned up who lives in Alloa. Owner said its been slow over past few mths.

Anyways thought i'd try my Overwater J4 for a spin but half way thru 2nd set i realised it was getting a bit heavy and my back was feeling it and i changed over to old faithful Sandberg VM4. Wife reckoned the VM4 was better sounding, deeper but clearer.

Had dancers up most of the night with a full floor for special request of Time Warp. Audience seemed well up for a party tonight and really enjoyed themselves.

Using Overwater J4 then Sandberg VM4 into Handbox WB-100 and BF 212 cab with Shure wireless and Keeley Bassist Comp.

1st set fro 8 to 9:20pm and 2nd set 9:45 to 11:15pm

Got paid and a 1:15mins drive home.
