This summer a family friend of mine is throwing a festival in Oregon....New Monsoon and ALO are the headliners and I am going to be on the sound team! i am so excited to do this and it will look great on resumes.....finally i wll start to work in the jam world! the extreme bulk of my live sound and studio ventures have all sadly been ''pop'' related. so this will be a wonderful departure......
congrats dude! its awsome you get to work in an environment like that. What festival are you talking about? I'm gonna be in the North West this summer and its always good to know about the festies.
Thats pretty cool! I just did some sound stuff for a Darr Williams concert - it was fun but I don't really like the music.
congrats, Brother. Make friends with NM's Nate (sound guy... he might want to work with you of give you a break). My Sweetie and I started the ball rolling for him to get that gig. We knew he had the chops and was ready to travel. We just needed a band we knew would not bore him!
i'm really looking foward to this. i was asked to run the whole stage, but with my complete lack of experience (as i am a sound guy, not a stage manager) i had to turn that down. i told him he needed to definatley find someone qualafied for that......i just want to be on the sound team. be involved with New Monsoon and ALO......fuck i could care if i was just a stage hand......just to finnaly be apart of something that is not top 40 rock.....it will be a pleasure.
ANOTHER GOOD GIG! I am on the sound team for a "CATS" production in Chilliwack, BC...this Wednesday and Thursday....good money too, which isn't bad.....this will also be a wonderful departure from rock shows, to do theatre will be a great pleasure....i actually was a drama student, before music, and before audio....now i'm mostly audio and music sometimes......
you are building a great resume: start whoring your res to the big name festies and production companies now.
great idea....by next summer i could be doing multiple fests....the CATS gig is tomorrow and we have to head to the site at 6am and we will be there till tear down.....hard work, but its gonna be exciting....much love to all.....
Here is a link to the fest in Bend, Oregon I will be working at....looks fun.... http://www.4peaksmusic.com/
well, the Cats gig was awesome. long and awesome. the crew was great, i got a permanent gig with EVENTstar....apparantley i did good work.....i will be doing all the shows here in Burnaby (outside Vancouver)....there was alot of heavy lifting and cable running.....i am worn out today. well, i hope to be working a festival near you all, very soon....much love!
