Not as of yet. We just got together in April and we want to get tighter as a band before we take on bars and fests. I think maybe by fall (Oct...ish) We'll see how things go. We only have (1) gig under our belt so far. Let me know when you guys are going to be at Club 30 again. I would like to come out and support your band.]]> News Tommy Guns https://guitarnoise.forum/news/summary-gig-with-late-calling-6-17-06/#post-184698 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/summary-gig-with-late-calling-6-17-06/#post-184593 Wed, 21 Jun 2006 02:29:39 +0000
Also in the emails Late Calling may be opening for a bigger band at Club 83 in Lemont July 21st. The next day maybe in Odell (read: really long drive). It would be cool to have us both play the same night. Do you guys play any gigs North of Tinley Park?]]> News corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/news/summary-gig-with-late-calling-6-17-06/#post-184593 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/summary-gig-with-late-calling-6-17-06/#post-184550 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 23:36:31 +0000
I hope you guys come back to Club 30 soon. We have a gig every other weekend from July-Sept at a campground in Yorkville ??? and couple of private pool parties in between so I will keep you and Guitarnoise up to date. I don't mean to plug myself here, but if you are nearby let me know and I will send the info.

Good Luck Dennis, hopefully our bands could play some gigs together someday.

I really like that light. I have been looking at many, but that looks better than any I've seen.

My music stand is very heavy duty. The only problem is that the legs don't retract. Seems like they always get in the way wherever you try to pack it. Wish I had seen your model.

It is amazing all the money we spend on little things like this. :D]]> News Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/news/summary-gig-with-late-calling-6-17-06/#post-184389 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/summary-gig-with-late-calling-6-17-06/#post-184378 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 03:02:27 +0000
Link to light

Pretty expensive but very reliable. It has no bulb to break when you're doing teardown after the gig. It's a LED light that won't break and puts out the perfect light. Not too bright or dark. Easy to position, too. If anyone finds a better light let me know.

As far as stands, I've always hated the cheap foldable ones that hold a few sheets. This one

Can hold my 10 pound binder and is very stable even in the outdoor gigs on windy days. Never want to have a music binder drop to the floor.]]> News corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/news/summary-gig-with-late-calling-6-17-06/#post-184378 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/summary-gig-with-late-calling-6-17-06/#post-184375 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 02:44:26 +0000
Just buy another 25' mic cable. You can even use a 10' or 15'. They connect together when you need the extra length (the male end will connect with another mic cable female end).

I've never experienced a big change in tone from long runs. But I have never been a tone freak. Plus you can always use your amp's EQ to compensate.

That light looks pretty cool. I have trouble in the dark too. I have a sturdy music stand and always bring our songbook. I rarely have to look, but once in awhile I do (forget lyrics). I print out the lyrics in blue font, seems to show better than black. I use the largest font possible. But you need a little light to see. I need to find a little battery powered light with a gooseneck to attach to the top of the music stand.]]> News Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/news/summary-gig-with-late-calling-6-17-06/#post-184375 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/summary-gig-with-late-calling-6-17-06/#post-184367 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 02:08:19 +0000
Kara was having trouble seeing her bass fretting hand because it was so dark. Fortunately, I bought this little gadget from MF about two weeks ago.

I set it on her bass and she could see & play without struggling. I was going to use it for fun during the show but at least it went to good use. I leave one of my little black fans at band practice just to move air and I bring a separate one to shoot at me. Alex forgot to bring that fan but was lucky I brought two so I used one and let him use the other.

I've been hauling a 50' 12 gauge (thick and heavy) extension cord reel in the trunk of my car for a year. At the gig I actually used it to run power from the way far side of the stage to the side of the drummer. From there I hooked up two 25' standard extension cord reels and me & the other guitar player were set. These days I leave so much of this “extra” stuff in my trunk that it holds little else.

I even brought an extra 30' instrument cable in case my new mic/cable didn't work. Normally I have a check list and mark off each item I've packed for the gig. Couldn't find the printout but at least I didn't forget anything. Yea, I think I have to get a longer mic cable. I know with guitar cables, the longer they are, the more drop off of treble. I figured a 50' mic cable would be “worse” than a 30' cable.]]> News corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/news/summary-gig-with-late-calling-6-17-06/#post-184367 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/summary-gig-with-late-calling-6-17-06/#post-184347 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 01:13:24 +0000
You may want to invest in a longer cable for the mic, just so that you can setup comfortably. Do get in well with your soundguy, he's very important. It will be worth it.

Sounds good overall, and good luck with the next one.

Oh yeah, don't think of the drive as getting lost, you just happened to take the "scenic route"
