Haha. I cant wait to see how this turns out.
Like what you guys discussed, yea, SP has a rather non-rock and roll view on gigs; or rather the SAS, as what I'm told. Although I do enjoy classical, it is just right IMO to rock out at proper gigs. (Imagine the SP bazaar with live orchestra playing Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto) It will be cool, but rather inappropriate.
I myself have experienced this "discrimination against rock music". Firstly, with the explicit categorization of everything that's not classical as "pop music".
Anyway, just to share, if you guys attended a certain gig I played last year, the club president reminded me many times (till we're sick of it) that we're to tone down the distortion. I was "kind" enough to go from Muse's Starlight to Weezer's Island in the Sun. (also partly because I had a little sore throat)
As it was raining that day, I had a feeling that the show will be cancelled. So, during the soundcheck, I maxed my distortion and played Rage against the Machine's Maggie's Farm riff right after finishing our song as I feel that it's our final time performing for that gig. No surprises, the PA cut off the sound. Haha. But it was fun. Anyway, the show was a screwup and our performance got cancelled.
Hopefully, things will work out well in SP Jammers!
