Members Thunderbroom Posted January 16, 2009 Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yippee! We're playing two 90 minute sets. Saturday, January 17, 2009: 10:00pm - 1:30amBannerman's Sports Grill858 S. Route 59 (Sutton Road)Bartlett, IL This is a new venue for us. I'm a little leery though. It's supposed to be a big place but we have to bring our PA. It's either gonna be a great show or a trainwreck. After one rehearsal with our IEM setup, we're gonna try 'em out at this gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members catphish Posted January 16, 2009 Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 yep. When are you guys getting into the city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted January 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 yep. When are you guys getting into the city? We're trying but can't find a place that will have us. I'm getting there really early to meet with our engineer. We were having noise (a "whooshing" sound) issues with my setup: Boss > Wireless > Boss GT-10B > IEM Mixer. The Boss puts out a line-level signal. I think he's going to drop a DI in between it and the mixer to bring the signal to mic level. He thinks it's a gain structure issue. I'm really nervous (and excited) about trying the IEM setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catphish Posted January 16, 2009 Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 We're trying but can't find a place that will have us. I'm sure there are TONS of places that will have you, I think you guys are probably more selective about gig conditions than most bands. In Chicago there are a gazillion bands who will play for free, or worse. What about that horse shoe place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not overly picky (I don't think). We are at a point where we're not playing for free unless it's a charity event. We're doing a gig this Spring for St. Jude's.

Members catphish Posted January 16, 2009 Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 We are at a point where we're not playing for free That's too picky. Joe's is not bad. Serious frat boy place though. Have you tried cubby bear? I think that would be a good fit for you as well. Better than Joe's IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JeffBass Posted January 16, 2009 Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 I've been there a few times. It is big, my one friend's band sounded real good with a sub + 115 (two-way) on each side. They did well and the big dance floor was rockin. The other band sounded kinda boxy without subs. They were loud enough but it wasn't balanced quite right. Lacked fullness. What's your IEM setup consist of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shure PSM400 (5 wireless/2 wired) Allen & Heath WZ3 12M Monitor Mixer Shure E5 Earbuds Submixer for drums Patch snakes Road ready rack case Shouldn't a club that size have it's own PA?!? We'll have two JBL 18" subs plus either our JBL 12" tops or our engineer's EA 15" tops. We'll have plenty of power for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have two JBL 18" subs plus either our JBL 12" tops or our engineer's EA 15" tops. We'll have plenty of power for them. That's the thing, the bar hired a guy on a Saturday night and he brought in the good PA with sub setup. At the time they used to have a house PA guy on Saturday nights, or so I was told. My other friend's band was there on a Friday night and they brought their own PA, which lacked the subs. Gotta have subs in a room that size. Sounds like your PA will do just fine, especially if your engineer is there making adjustments. I imagine the EA's push a bit more sound than the JBL's, might consider using those because you can always turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassman1956 Posted January 18, 2009 Members Share Posted January 18, 2009 So who all's headed there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted January 18, 2009 Members Share Posted January 18, 2009 Sorry Jeff. When I took the pup out at 8, there was some new fluffy stuff. When I jumped in the shower at 9, there were a few flakes in the air. Well, I got as far as the west entrance to the lab at Pine & Kirk, and quit. It was snowing like all get-out, the wind was gusting it sideways, there were slippery patches on the road, and visibility sucked. So I came home. Hope you have / had a kickass show!
