We just got home from SXSW. The showcase was very good. We shocked many there when they heard it was our first live show. Good or bad, we certainly left an impression.

There just wasn't enough time for much of the event, as we had to catch the flight home Fri eve. Great Music town and a great fest.
We did see The Alamo in San Antonio.

Is having Sasha in the foreground intentional?
The only band I ever saw do that live was SHELLAC.

Not intentional by us, no. We used the back line from the band Hull, and they have 3 guitarists, and a bass player. The stage was VERY small, so in order to get the 4 amps, and the drums, and 5 guys on that small stage, they put the drums in the front. Change over was very short, so all the bands just kept the set up. Not at all something I want to do again, just because it was very difficult to hear on stage. It was certainly unique, and was quite a obstacle for our first gig.

Damn, that must have been weird 
Anyway, glad it went well for you guys, other than the fucked up stage setup. Hey Larry, did you ever have to play standing DIRECTLY BEHIND the drummer before?

Maybe you should rename Sasha's role in the band as "Visual Timekeeper"*

No I don't recall ever having had to play behind the drummer before. If we had in-ear monitors or something it probably wouldn't be so bad. But we had virtually no monitors of any kind, and our amps were so loud, that hearing Sasha was almost impossible for me, so that made things rather difficult. I wouldn't do this setup again unless I had proper monitors.

Is that a GIBSON SG bass?
I played one of those for the first time a couple weeks ago.
Couldn't decide if I liked the sound or not.

Steve is playing an LTD Viper baritone guitar, Wiley is playing a BC Rich bass, and I'm using my black Subsonic baritone as always.

Speaking of guitars. Has anyone heard of MONSON Guitars? A friend of mine grew up with the guy who makes these custom guitars and I was wondering if anyone out there has one or has played one. They make some killer looking shaped guitars. Check em out.

I saw a movie like that once, but the two parts were going in, as opposed to sticking out, of the rear end........
I do know what you mean about the Warlock headstock though.
I think that's what Tom Araya plays.

I can definitely see how these were inspired by Doyle's Annihilator guitar.
I see hints of Jerry Only's RIC design, as well as Gene Simmon's AXE model too.
I particularly dig the MYSTIC and WIZARD bass styles.
Are these sold in retail outlets or online only?
