Rusty Trombone

It is no secret that we pay our friends to manage midsummer parties here in Sweden so we can force us upon them with our music.
What karma has in store for us though is much much worse. Our first midsummer gig two years ago was a succes, all the 3 songs we managed to play before the PA system burned up. As it did indeed burn four, we repeat FOUR 12" base elements. We hooked up two computer speaker's that day and continued our gig at a ridiculously low volume. Or one more song that was. Damn it was hard error-checking in the middle of the night wearing masks. It was not until later we found out that the bass-elements had burned beyond repair of that brand new PA.

anyways.

Fast forward two years, that is, very close to now, last week actually. We had a new gig at the same place, with about the same people, very nice. This time there was a new PA brought by a friend that wasn't at the first party. However this equipment (brand new) was worth a lot more then that of two years ago. About 60 000 Sek. Guess what happens at the gig?
1: the guitar starts acting up,
2: it was a cable to the effect pedal
3: the song cant be heard (thank Beelzebub for the backing track)
4: A neighbor comes over complaining about his lights flickering and his young kid needing to sleep, fair enough 6month old's do need their sleep (and their parents as well)
5: All the sounds start's to sound weird.
6: No high left in the speakers, only bass
7: We end almost as far in as we got that midsummer two years earlier.

Oh well, how about this PA then? only fuses, luckily.

Anyways 2, we're hard at work with material for a new CD, and we're gonna go and post stuff here as work in progress for you to judge and wrinkle your noses at.

This is all we are going to write this Friday night at 7 minutes past 11 in the evening. Now it's time to move away from the computer and decide what party to crash.
