Hey Everyone,
Obviously didn't get to see every single band, but just a quick congrats to everyone involved in the production...very happy to see hundreds and hundreds of you there to support local music. Let's not underestimate how difficult it is to get people off their butts to see a gig. On a Tuesday night no less!
Great sets from Plain Sunset & WGB. Syawla Evol too. Feizfonik impressed the heck out of me. AVA, thrilling off-the-rails stuff as usual. One word of advice, to Matt and all would-be stage acrobats, please don't attempt to stand on that Ampeg bass combo that you see around so often. It has a deadly wedge at the back, it will topple under your weight. My singer and his famously shattered elbow will attest to that. JBoss and myself nearly had heart attacks seeing Matt trying to balance himself on top of that piece of shit.
On the poor side.....both the main and indie stages didn't sound as good as they should. Everything from the lower midrange of frequencies downward was the "Great Wall Of Mud". Everything above the midrange of frequencies was not adequately controlled (hence the piercing ear invasion everytime someone shouted or sang too loudly/closely into the mic). As a result, it was near impossible to make out any of the lyrics sung. I know its a tough job and all, but for the main stage at least, I don't think anyone can deny that the sound could and should have been much, much better!
Still, all in all, a tremendous victory for local music on the night. Keep supporting your local talent!

Wayne: "Dude, this band is awful!"
(Dude): "Really ah? It's my brother's band!"
Dude I take it back hehe. I know you're reading this! I still don't think they're great but they're definitely not awful. Tell them to keep at it, they DO have more potential to fulfill!!
