Album release

Well the Sex with Bowie album release at Chicks Hotel was a good old time. We hired Dreich McCulloch to bring in his full KV2 system and engineer the show which seemed to give Hector, the venue manager, quite a fright. As we were setting up Hector, with a somewhat pained look on his face, exlaimed "I just don't get it!" I tried to make a joke about it but it didn't go down very well.


As a sound engineer I really, really hate going to gigs that sound like shit. As a performer I really, really hate sounding like shit. The week before I ran sound for a band at the same venue and they sounded like shit. Chicks has two of the dreaded "Poshing" brand high/mid bins which are harsh sounding to put it politely. Chicks is tiny and for many shows their system is adequate. Admittedly the system we hired was far larger than required but I kind of like having more than necessary. It's part of Sex with Bowie's appetite for excess. KV2 rigs are, frankly, amazing sounding PA systems and can be run at low volumes with a flat response across the frequency spectrum; I'd used the system before so I knew it would work. Bad sound is something that can ruin live music for your average punter and turn them off of it for ever.

Dreich did a fantastic job and is unreasonably reasonable when it comes to charging for his time, effort, mad skillz and outstanding rig. If you want to sound better than you ever have give him a bell.

Dreich also recorded the sets from all 3 bands, you can download "Mr Hands" here - google mr hands if you have no idea who he is/was. Thanks also to Lucinda McConnon for the fantastic photos.

A huge thanks to all of those that came out and helped us cover our costs.
