They also have them at the Lansdowne, I'd say you'll see more of them popping up around the place.

Yeah, noticed that on the weekend, but they weren't manipulating them at all. They look weird when they mix different colours in the same lighting can I reckon. What do you think of them Steve? I imagine it'd be much much cooler on stage now?

If it is cooler on stage because of them they are a good thing.

I noticed when we got on stage the first time at the renovated Empire it was quite cold up there, they have an air-conditioner facing the stage.

Once you start playing you heat up though it's better to have a cool starting off temp than a hot one.

Miss the ol' Empire Hotel but i gotta say The Stag in Leichhardt is a better room.
Hope to see LYCANTHIA play there in the not too distant future.

 

[Ebony~Veiled]

That room is mighty! I say YES for playing there soon

My only complaint is you can't buy a drink inside the room.

The sound guys need to keep the volume down....:zombie:

I know that Tim used to play through a 400W bass amp so that could be where the high volume is coming from, I can't remember what he used on the night.

I don't know if Lord's volume settings are high so I can't say this is what happened on the night.

Ideally the band should play at a low enough volume and let the sound person adjust the mix through the PA. hence why you see mics in front of speaker cabs.

Sometimes you get a bad mix because the amps on stage are too loud, the sound person can't bring their sound down so instead he/she puts up the volume of the other instruments. If the PA can't compete with the amps on stage then there is not much the sound person can do to control the mix.

I'm too deaf to really notice any more but i thought the sound in the room was BIG!

At least you can drink it inside the room unlike say The Manning Bar when they do all ages gigs. That is frustrating watching the band through glass doors.

Still think it's a damn shame we lost The Empire.
Fuckers!
