It's coming round again...

What's new.... Well first off, Big Day Out. What a day, my favorite so far, saw so many bands and artists I love, the headliners for myself were The Temper Trap and Muse, really loved Powderfinger, Miami Horror, Dizzee Rascal, Eskimo Joe, Lisa Mitchell and all the others I saw. Highlights were being on the barrier for The Temper Trap and having Dougie (Lead Singer) during 'Science of Fear' jump down to me, that was seriously mad. Seeing Dizzee Rascal jump off the stage to some fuck who threw a deodorant bottle I think it was at him and being on the barrier for Muse. Such an awesome day. Only took photos during Lisa Mitchell and Dizzee Rascal. The reason I don't take more, is because I would rather enjoy the music than take photos all day, anyway here are two I took for you guys.


Other than that, work has been quiet, but I have been doing heaps at "The Basement" which is Goat Track Theatre Company’s space, have finished off most of the renovations now, walls are in, everything is painted, carpet is down, furniture is all together and in place, it looks really awesome and I’m proud to be a part of it, big thanks to all that have helped out.

I did a gig in Coffs Harbor last night, was really good to get back into it, was also really happy with how the lighting turned out, had 8 LED par cans for colour wash/strobe, 8 Par 56's on a FOH flown truss for front light, 8 Par 46's for blinders and 2 iColor 3's for more color wash and it didn't look half bad, also used two smoke machines, the company we hired off didn’t have any hazer’s in... As for sound I’m not so sure, but I think, the foldback was 4 TH200XA's, FOH I cant remember, but there were two, twin 18" sub box's per side, desk was an Allen & Heath GL2400, bunch of stuff in the racks, dbx EQ's and compressors I think, possibly a Yamaha reverb in there, didn't really look much at the sound stuff… That's it for today kids!
