The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[AxAxSxS]

very rad^^

We get some raised eyebrows at the amount of crap we pile on stage sometimes, but it's always been cool and at this point I think most places know what they are getting into when they book us

Also, very nice write up on Ex-Gods. Check it out and have a listen http://doomedandstoned.com/post/117970340943/exgods

Here's a question for you dudes:

How do you find venues react to your rigs? There's a local culture around here of "A 4x12? Ridiculous! Far too loud for this place, turn it DOWN."

Loads of the local bands turn up with cheap shitey 2x12 combos, and even in the venues where they're prepared for it, volume is looked down upon.

Whenever I talk to local band dudes about my Matamp, I often get a "Why do you even need that many watts?" reaction, and I feel like having JUST a 120w amp and a 4x12 makes me a wimpy bitch around here

Sometimes you have to go along with it, depending on the gig and the importance of the show, but for the most part, if you tell the sound guy "look, this is who we are, this is what we're about and the volume is a part of it" they'll go along with if you're polite. The tiniest bit of head's up to the sound guy will do wonders to make them just be cool about it, sometimes.

Tuned a guitar up to standard and played a bunch of Johnny Winter tunes this afternoon... And the surface of the callous on my third finger came off. There's still a good base there but sheesh. I guess I've only been playing drop tunings and haven't been playing any lead for a while.

Opposite for me, I threw a pack of 13-70s on my LP last night and tuned way down

I recorded demos for the Dunwich one knobbers this weekend. One playlist for the guitar ones, one for bass. You can go onto my page to check the individual demos with signal chain info and all that stuff. Not much in the way of settings to show off, so just a few quick clips and for the boost just a run through the volume range.

I finally got around to ordering a face plate and logo plate for my 2203 build.



Dragged it into the live room to play with it a bit and it sounds killer. Now I need to get it to the band practice space to try it with the band.

Duuuuuuude that turned out sick!!!!! Great job!

I got into grad school in Brooklyn for Exercise Science. I'm moving to Brooklyn toward the end of the summer.

I'm pretty fucking excited about that.

MuFukkin congrats there Peter!!!!

Around here theres a couple types of clubs.... Theres the small venue's with no actual sound guy (usually just the promoter running a lackluster POS PA) where its fairly no holds barred when it comes to volume on stage, there's small club/bar's who hire sound men and where theres a sound guy they don't want to risk losing the job so they try to keep volume down so the cops don't come (they also mic a full stack for 20-30 people and tell you to turn it just above silence), theres some small clubs with house sound guys that depending on the actual venue and how they mic stuff will usually let you crank fairly loud (as long as you talk to them ahead of time, if they all ready set up a mic on your cab they gonna be pissed and tell you to turn down, if you tell them hey I'd rather not go through the PA and just crank my rig they usually will) and then theres the big clubs (800+ people) who deal with the real deal touring bands that come through and those mofo's will let you crank your shit to ten and STILL mic you! But to play there you either gotta be able to sell 500+ tickets or know the touring headlining band.....

These discussions always make me happy that I live somewhere with understanding venues.

Thanks everyone! So thrilled for this opportunity.

Welcome! If you need help or advice looking for stuff just let me know. Where are you looking to live? My gf is starting her masters of education at Brooklyn in the fall.

Thanks. We're not sure yet; my fiance (wife when we move) is applying to jobs mostly in downtown Brooklyn and financial district of Manhattan so she wants a simple commute and I'm trying to be walking distance to LIU campus if possible. Of course, finding rent that isn't astronomical for a place that isn't tiny is a fun adventure...

I'm super excited to explore, go to Torst and Other Half, and St. Vitus!

When did flash drives start becoming waterproof? I washed and dried one, still works and no data lost.

I always thought it was funny on Home Improvement how Tim Talyor could hear a car engine and know the make and model of the car.

We're kinda like the Tim Taylors of Doom.
