EBS_freak Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Always loved that song, nice authentic sound too. Nice to see some additional angles on the go too. Always lifts stuff up. How have you miced up the drums? Sounds like a kick and overhead but unless I'm being blind I can't see it... Quote

I was using my Sire V7 - now I use a Sandberg California II VM4S mostly. I still have the Sire - but use it my other band as it is permanently tuned down to suit the vocalist Drums currently have two mics: kick and another more ambient. The drummer has just invested in two condenser pencil mics to position as overheads. We hope to get them included in the mix this coming weekend. Quote
Muzz Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Promo from a little while ago, shot at a posh Do in Cheshire, hence the Sparkly Jackets...sound is captured live, then remixed...and who says you can't play modern dance music on a Fenderbird? 😀 2 Quote

dave_bass5 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 This is pants on all fronts, but I don’t often have anything to post. To quote REM, that’s me in the corner 😂 Quote
AScheck9 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 low_qual_HD 720p_MEDIUM_FR30.mp4 Fun bank holiday gig. Not sorted out the proper videos yet nor grabbed the audio from the mixer, but here's a quick phone clip. Great crowd, penultimate song. 1 Quote
Paddy777 Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Just got the first song of 5 we filmed for our promo video at The Arc theatre in Stockton. It’s a Nile Rodgers tribute called “Freak Out” - very good fun on bass! 4 Quote
vantagepointrocks Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Having a go at track, I Think We're Alone Now, at the Dreadnought in Bathgate, with my covers band, Easily Distracted. We were a last minute replacement for a band that pulled out, and played to practically no-one, well the other band, bar staff, sound guy and a couple of punters were there. But it was still enjoyable to be back on stage as it was my first gig of 2023. Quote

I didn't spend any time there as I had my Fiance looking after herself and our dog knocking about in Manchester so I sort of ran into the venue, played, then ran back out again. Heard it was a bit stressful with nowhere to sit and no re-admission. Quote

Heard it was a bit stressful with nowhere to sit and no re-admission. Yeah that was a really frustrating part of it. With hardly any seating and no re-admission, I had to enter the venue late afternoon-ish as I can't stand up for 10 hours 3 days on the trot, so missed quite a few bands I wanted to see. Still, a banging line-up and enjoyed myself - picked up the HV top at merch too! Anyway, enjoy the shows you've got coming up and will hopefully see you in 2024 again. Quote
northcountrybob Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Thanks for picking that up @dirgefornovember ! If you get stuck trying to come to something you can always PM me on here and I'll see what's up with guest list spots or something Quote

EBS_freak Posted June 15 Posted June 15 (edited) Not me playing - but I was asked to do some video. Not bad (I think?) for one man and two cameras. Edited June 15 by EBS_freak 3 Quote

Stephen Houghton Posted August 25 Posted August 25 (edited) McHale's Permanent Brew at the Waterloo Music Bar in Blackpool, this is taken from our album launch gig, this is the first track of the night which is always a bit of a jam session as we warm up a bit, and is normally just a musical track only.

Yep, we play this every gig as the last song and it’s a tricky one that you (collectively) knocked out the park 👏👏. Bit of a nightmare for the poor keys player; usually lots of button pushing going on. What does the rest of your set look like? Quote

I know keyboard player Loz put a lot of work into that song and his reward was to be almost completely hidden in the video. The clever bit was taking the timing from the drums to sync up the vocoder section - how they did it I have no idea. Our set is a right old mix of pop, rock, Motown and disco - so something to annoy everyone I like to think, Pink Floyd through to Donna Summer. There's a bunch of examples here https://www.facebook.com/TheFranchiseBand/videos Quote
