First post, but I've been enjoying vicariously living through your gig reports for a while now so thought I'd start to contribute.
We played the Old Market Tavern in Altrincham last Friday. We were down to one singer due to a fixture clash and had been asked to go as light as possible as Saturdays are the heavier night there. This led to less metal and more grunge and hard rock going in the setlist, although we did save Toxicity and Bodies for the encore. Got a pretty good response, a few dancers and great feedback from the landlady so we're booked in again for next year.
We're all on IEM so the soundcheck invoked making sure our mixes worked as well as the PA, after last gig where a change in PA position meant the IEM sounded awful. My basd sounded rumbly through the PA but also didn't cut through at all. A few mix tweaks did nothing until we moved the sub off the wooden floor onto the carpet, then it all sounded good. Fine margins etc.
Rig was my usual Dingwall NG3-5 and D-Roc-4 bases into a knock-off Harmonic Booster, Zoom B1X4 and Darkglass Infinity board straight DI to the mixer. I didn't make too many mistakes, but being a local non-driving gig the freedom to have a few beers did mean I felt a little uncoordinated later in set 2! Added a few clips for context but I had a good time and looking forward to our next gig in December.
